Instructions:

Trim the lamb saddle clean, scrape the meat and tendons from the bones and cut the back at the spine. Separate the back strands down to the bone so that the meat still adheres to the back. Separate backbone with a meat cleaver or have everything already prepared by the butcher. Salt, pepper and sear the top of the back in olive oil in a roasting pan. For 10-15 minutes (depending on the desired degree of cooking) place in the oven preheated to 200 °C and roast until pink. Then remove and keep warm. For the crust, sauté the chopped shallot with garlic in hot olive oil. Add dried tomatoes, diced peppers and zucchini and deglaze with Pernod. Sauté briefly and season with salt, cumin and pepper. Drain on a paper towel and refrigerate. Meanwhile, cream butter and mix with egg, egg yolks, bread crumbs, herbs, mustard and the cooled vegetables. Spread the mixture evenly over the back and gratinate in the oven at full broiler setting until nicely browned. Let rest for 5 minutes before carving. Dissolve roast residue with lamb stock or water, bring to a boil and reduce. Portion the saddle of lamb, arrange on warmed plates and pour over the lamb juice.
