Lamb Chops in Crust Top- quality ingredients are prepared in restaurant Lička kuća. One of them is lamb. In order to achieve quality chops for this dish, the whole process of their processing must be carefully monitored and guaranteed, which is a precondition for high gastronomy. Three different culinary techniques are used to prepare this dish. First, chops are processed in vacuum at low temperature (more and more popular sous vide technique), then they are briefly fried in a pan and finally, coated and roasted in the oven. A special mix of fine herbs is used for coating, resulting in delicious crust. The dish is completed with cream of cauliflower and demiglace sauce in caramelized “boats” made of onion, with crunchy onion and sauteed vegetables. This exquisite plate represents one of the most complex dishes offered by Lička kuća, as a concept of modern signature dishes. Instead of oranges, you can use melon or peaches. 137
