GREEK SLOW ROASTED LEG OF LAMB

Greek Slow Roasted Leg of Lamb image

In my books, there are only 2 ways to roast a leg of lamb - with a hint of pink so it's juicy (30 minutes per kg/2lb) or cooked loooooong and slow until tender. Anything in between = dry, tough meat. This recipe is the Greek way of roasting lamb - slow roasted until tender, braised in a lemon garlic thyme broth that reduces down to a sauce. The sauce is completely different to the thick gravy you are probably used to. This sauce is not thickened with flour, it is lemony, herby and garlicky so it cuts through the richness of the lamb. This is easier and far more foolproof than traditional roast leg of lamb because you don't need to worry about overcooking it.

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

12 cloves of garlic, peeled
7 lb / 3.5 kg leg of lamb (Note 1)
Salt and pepper
3 tsp paprika powder
3 tsp garlic powder (or sub with onion powder)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, quartered (white, brown, yellow, red)
10 sprigs of thyme
3 sprigs rosemary
3 tsp dried oregano
3 dried bayleaves (or 5 fresh)
1/2 cup / 125 ml lemon juice (2 - 3 lemons), plus more to taste
1 1/2 cups / 375 ml white wine (or sub with chicken broth/stock, low salt)
2 cups / 500 ml chicken broth (liquid chicken stock)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 240°C/465°F (220°C fan). (Note 2)
Use a small knife to make around 25 incisions all over the lamb, with most on the top.
Cut around 6 cloves into slivers and stuff them into the incisions.
Sprinkle the lamb generously all over with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Drizzle with olive oil and rub all over the lamb.
Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes or until it has a nice brown crust.
Remove from the oven. Turn the oven down to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).
Turn the lamb upside down. Pour / place all the remaining ingredients in the pan around the lamb (including remaining garlic cloves). Fill the roasting pan with hot water so it comes up about 1/4 - 1/3 of the way up the height of the lamb.
Cover with lid or with baking/parchment paper then 2 layers of foil. Bake for 3.5 hours. (Note 3) Top up water if it dries out (e.g. Might happen if your lid is loose)
Remove the roast from the oven and remove the lid/foil. Turn the lamb over so it is the right side up.
Cover again and roast for a further 2 1/2 hours, or until you can pull meat apart with forks.
Remove cover and roast for a further 20 - 30 minutes (to brown). (Note 3)
Remove from the oven and transfer lamb to serving platter. Cover loosely with foil and rest for 30 - 40 minutes.
Strain liquid into a clear jug. The fat will rise to the top. Scoop/pour most of it off - I get 3/4 - 1 cup. There should be 2 - 3 cups of Sauce left. Adjust salt, pepper and lemon to taste.
Serve lamb with the Sauce on the side and Truly Crunchy Roast Potatoes (heat oil while lamb is in the oven, then cook potatoes when the lamb is resting).

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2.5-3 kg (approx 6.5lbs) bone-in leg of lamb
2 tbsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp olive oil
6 large potatoes (peeled and sliced into 6 chunks each)
1 onion (roughly chopped)
peel of 1 lemon
1 head of garlic (halved)
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 cup white wine
2 cups lamb/beef stock

Steps:

Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF.
Place the peeled potatoes, onions and lemon peel in a large, oven-proof pot/casserole and season with salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil. Add rosemary and garlic.
Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons olive oil over the lamb and season generously with salt, pepper and oregano. Place the lamb over the potatoes then pour in the stock and wine.
Cover with a lid and place in the oven. Allow to roast for 30 minutes then turn the heat down to 160ºC/320ºF for 3-4 hours until the lamb is tender.
Remove the lid and turn the heat back up to 200ºC/400ºF and allow the lamb to roast until golden brown (approximately 1 hour). At this point you can remove the lamb and cover with foil to rest for at least 10 minutes, ideally up to 30 minutes. Pour the stock into a jug and place the potatoes back in the oven to roast until golden brown and crisp.
Slice/shred the lamb once rested and serve with the potatoes and gravy.

Categories Lamb/Sheep

Time 7h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 (4 lb) boneless leg of lamb
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
5 -6 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano
2 -3 bay leaves
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
assorted root vegetables (optional)

Steps:

Remove bone and fell from lamb, if necessary.
Piece together and tie with kitchen twine.
Mix remaining ingredients and pour over lamb, coating it thoroughly (make additional marinade if needed).
Marinate lamb 6 hours or preferably, overnight.
Drain marinade and allow lamb to warm (remove a lot of the chill).
Place lamb (along with root vegetables, if desired) in roasting pan and roast at 450F for approximately 15 minutes, then reduce oven heat to 350F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer reads 145-150F for medium rare, or 160F+ for well done, allowing that the meat will raise about 5 degrees as it rests after cooking.
Start checking your meat temp with the instant read thermometer at about 20-25 minutes per pound.
Allow the roast to rest undisturbed for about 25 minutes before carving.
Reduce any drippings, if desired, to serve with the lamb.

GREEK ROAST LAMB AND POTATOES

Greek Roast Lamb and Potatoes image

There's nothing like Greek roast lamb and potatoes. In Greece, meat (lamb, beef, chicken) and potatoes in the oven is an ubiquitous dish throughout the winter. Upon my most recent visit to Athens, my aunt let me in on a secret that takes this traditional roast lamb to another level. Instead of the usual lemon juice, she said, add the juice of one orange. I tried this upon my return home and it is absolutely delicious! It may be awhile before I go back to lemons -- and this dish is as delicious as it is simple.

Categories Leg of Lamb

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 large orange, juiced
3 tablespoons brown mustard, or more to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
10 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1 (3 pound) half leg of lamb, bone-in
5 cloves garlic

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, mustard, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir the potatoes into the bowl to coat with orange juice mixture. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, and place them into a large roasting pan.
Cut slits into the lamb meat, and stuff the garlic cloves into the slits. Rub remaining orange juice mixture from bowl all over the lamb, and place the lamb on top of the potatoes in the roasting pan. If there's any remaining orange juice mixture, pour it over the lamb.
Roast in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the lamb is cooked to medium, about 1 hour. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Check every 30 minutes while roasting, and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot water if you find the potatoes are drying out. If the lamb finishes cooking before the potatoes, remove the lamb to a cutting board or serving platter and cover with foil while the potatoes continue to bake in the oven.

Categories main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

One 8- to 10-pound leg of lamb, bone-in, trimmed
2 lemons, cut in half
Salt and pepper
4 cloves garlic, sliced lengthwise
Dash oregano
8 ounces water

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Under running water, trim the outer layer of fat from the lamb and blot dry. Allow the lamb to reach room temperature and squeeze the juice from the lemons over the lamb. Slice cloves of garlic, lengthwise.
Put salt and pepper into a small container. Cut 6 small slots into each side of the leg of lamb, about 1-inch deep. Insert garlic slivers, followed by salt and pepper, into the lamb. Lightly sprinkle top of lamb with oregano. Pour the water into a roasting pan, add lamb, and cover with foil. Roast on lowest rack of oven for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove foil, lower heat to 375 degrees and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until lamb reaches desired temperature. Remove and let lamb stand about 30 minutes as the lamb continues to cook. To test the temperature of the meat, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the leg without touching the bone. For rare lamb, the thermometer should register 140 degrees. For medium, the thermometer should register 145 degrees.

Categories Dinner, Main course

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 large leg of lamb, about 3kg/6lb 8oz
6 garlic cloves
1 bunch oregano
zest and juice 1 lemon
6 tbsp olive oil
1 ½kg new potatoes
400g can chopped tomato
large handful pitted baby kalamata olives

Steps:

Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Pound the garlic, half the oregano, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, then add the lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Stab the lamb all over with a sharp knife, then push as much of the herb paste as you can into the holes.
Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tin, then toss in the remaining olive oil and any remaining herb paste. Nestle the lamb amongst the potatoes, roast for 20 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.

When the lamb is done to your liking, remove from the tin and let it rest. Throw the rest of the oregano in with the potatoes, scoop from the tin and keep warm.
Place the roasting tin over a medium flame, add the canned tomatoes and olives to the pan juices, then simmer for a few mins. Serve the lamb with the potatoes and sauce and a simple salad.
