Preparation

Step 1

Goat Cheese Filling
This filling can be made one day in advance. Using a fork, combine the goat cheese, pancetta, tomatoes, herbs, and garlic in a small bowl. Chill the mixture for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. When ready to use it, let the cheese mixture soften slightly at room temp.

Zinfandel Sauce
Place the wine, shallot, and herb in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the liguid is reduced by half. Add the stock, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup of the liguid. Remove the herb sprigs.
Whisk in the butter, 1 piece at at time. The sauce should be glossy and slightly syrupy. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Lamb
Season the Lamb with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Sear the lamb on both sides for a minute or so, to brown, and then reduce the heat and cook each side 4-4 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate and let rest. You may serve the loins whole or sliced, with equal portions of the goat cheese mixture crumbled along the top and Zinfandel sauce spooned over it.
