Preparation

Prepare the mouflon loin by removing any tough connective tissue and dividing it into portions approximately 12 cm long.
Rinse the black lentils and cook them in salted boiling water for about 20 minutes.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil to approximately 50°C (122°F). Once it reaches the desired temperature, add the crushed juniper berries, cover, and remove from the heat.
Wash the aromatic herbs in your preferred proportions, finely chop them, and spread them out on a work surface.
Coat the loin portions with the chopped herbs until the entire surface is covered, then let them rest for about 10 minutes.
Heat a frying pan with the butter. Place the loins in the center of the pan and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side.
Baste the loins with the melted butter, remove them from the pan, and let them rest on a cutting board for 4 minutes.
Drain the lentils and place them in the center of each plate. Slice the loin into medallions and arrange several slices standing upright on the lentils. Drizzle with the warm juniper-infused oil and garnish as desired.
