Note

Ensure the lamb is well-trimmed of excess fat before preparing the crust for a cleaner presentation.

If Chablis is unavailable, a dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio can be used as a substitute.

For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the lamb; 130-135ðF is ideal for medium-rare.

The Northern White Beans can be prepared according to package directions or used from a canned variety, rinsed and heated through.

Allow the lamb to rest fully before slicing to ensure maximum tenderness and juiciness.
