Follow our step-by-step guide to butterflying a leg of lamb, prepare with Greek flavours and roast or BBQ

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 garlic cloves
4 tbsp olive oil
juice 1 lemon
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp thyme leaf
2 bay leaves
1 leg of lamb , butterflied (see step by step guide)
flatbreads , to serve
½ cucumber , halved and deseeded
170g pot Greek yogurt
1 small garlic clove , crushed
handful mint leaves, chopped

Steps:

Mash the garlic to a paste with a pestle and mortar. Mix with the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme and bay, and season with a little salt and plenty of pepper. Place the lamb in a large porcelain dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb and massage into the meat. Leave the lamb for at least 1 hr at room temperature, or longer in the fridge, but no longer than overnight or the meat will become too soft.
To cook the lamb, fire up the barbecue, or heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. To cook on the barbecue, wait for the coals to turn ashen, then lay the lamb on the grill and cook for 15 mins on each side for meat that is pink, or 20 mins on each side for well done. To cook in the oven, place the lamb in a shallow roasting tin and roast for 30 mins for pink or 40 mins for well done, turning the lamb halfway through. Leave the meat to rest for 10 mins before carving.
Meanwhile, make the tzatziki. Coarsely grate the cucumber, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and squeeze out all the liquid. Tip into a bowl with the yogurt, garlic and mint, and mix well. Carve the lamb into thick slices and serve with the tzatziki wrapped up in warm flatbreads.

Time 1h53m

Yield 6 servings (makes roughly 12 kabobs)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

12 (6-inch) wooden skewers
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil, for brushing
1 bag pita bread, at least 6 loaves
Tzatziki Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups Greek strained yogurt
1/2 cucumber, seeded and chopped

Steps:

Preheat grill to high. Soak skewers in water for 25 to 30 minutes.
In a large bowl combine lamb, scallions, onion powder, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, cumin, thyme, salt and pepper, to taste.

Add the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, hot sauce, lemon juice and zest in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

ROAST GREEK LAMB WITH TZATZIKI, ROASTED VEGETABLES, AND GREEK SALAD

Roast Greek Lamb with Tzatziki, Roasted Vegetables, and Greek salad image

Sunday roasts and summer are two of my favorite things. But when it's too hot outside, the last thing you want is a full roast with gravy and all the trimmings. It just seems wrong. It's also far too hot to be in a kitchen for long. Greece is famous for its lamb dishes. So what better way to rewind on a warm summer Sunday afternoon than create this laid-back, slow-roasted Greek feast?

Time 4h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

Ingredients

1 (3 pound) leg of lamb
2 cloves garlic, sliced
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
5 large bay leaves
salt
1 eggplant, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 zucchini, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
7 large potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
sea salt to taste
½ cucumber, grated
½ cup mint leaves, chopped
1 pinch dried oregano, or to taste
salt to taste
1 cup Greek yogurt
6 large tomatoes on the vine, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup whole black olives
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 (4 ounce) package feta cheese
3 pinches dried oregano

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Open the "pocket" on the wide end of the leg of lamb and stuff with some garlic slices, 1 rosemary sprig, 1 bay leaf, and salt. Make 3 long incisions in the top of the leg with your knife. Stuff remaining garlic, rosemary sprigs, bay leaves, and some salt into the incisions. Season well with salt all over.
Season eggplant, zucchini, and 1 red onion with salt and tumble into a roasting pan. Place the leg of lamb on top.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and cover pan with aluminum foil. Continue baking until lamb is tender, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
Spread potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with sea salt. Place in the bottom third of the oven. Bake lamb and potatoes for 30 minutes. Remove lamb and let rest while potatoes finish cooking, about 30 minutes more.
Combine grated cucumber, mint, oregano, and salt in a bowl. Mix in yogurt until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Combine tomatoes, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, and black olives in a deep-sided dish. Drizzle 3 tablespoons olive oil and red wine vinegar on top. Place feta on top and cover with dried oregano.
Carve lamb and serve on a big platter. Scoop out vegetables and juices from the roasting pan and add to the platter. Place roasted potatoes, tzatziki, and Greek salad nearby.

Categories main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 teaspoons ground coriander
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for the skillets
1 large red onion, peeled and sliced into 4 thick slices
8 ounces Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
Zest of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup minced cucumber
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 small soft pitas, toasted if desired
Chopped tomato, for serving
Chopped romaine lettuce, for serving

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals evenly over the bottom. Heat 2 flat cast-iron skillets over direct heat.
For the burgers and onions: Combine the lamb, coriander and mint in a large bowl. Form the meat mixture into 4 equal thin half-moon shaped patties. Season the patties with salt and pepper on both sides. Add a splash of oil to the cast-irons. Cook the patties 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the meat to get a nice crust. Flip and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the burgers from the heat and let rest 2 to 3 minutes before assembling the burgers.
Meanwhile, drizzle the onions with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, flipping once, until softened and charred, about 5 minutes.
For the tzatziki: Add the yogurt, garlic, lemon zest, cucumber, dill and mint to a large bowl and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
To serve: Spread some tzatziki over each pita, add a patty to one half of each pita, top with some grilled onion and add some chopped tomato and lettuce. Fold the other half of each pita over. Serve!
