PREPARATION
Shoulders of suckling lamb: Place the shoulders of lamb in vacuum packs at 100% with salt, garlic and thyme. Cook at 67ºC for 24 hours. Transfer to an inverted bain-marie and leave for 30 minutes. Open the packs and separate the different parts of the shoulder. This should give 6 portions of about 40 gr each. Set aside.
Braised vegetables: Brown the head of garlic in a round pan. Add the onion, leek, carrot and tomato and cook well. Add the red wine and port, and reduce until almost dry. Reserve.
Lamb sauce: Roast the lamb bones in a pre-heated oven at 180ºC for 45 minutes, or more if necessary. Transfer to a large pan, and deglaze the roasting pan to recover any lamb juices. Add the braised vegetables and a sprig of fresh thyme. Add water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 12 hours. Strain, then reduce. Add the powdered lamb, and bind with corn flour.
Creamed cheese: Boil the milk and infuse with the mint. Strain and, while still hot, add the cheese cut into small pieces. Blend, pour through a fine chinois and add salt. Weigh the resulting mixture and add 5% of the weight in Gelcrem to give texture.
