Categories Lamb/Sheep

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

Ingredients

1 (8 lb) leg of lamb, bone in
1 head garlic
2 tablespoons Greek oregano
2 tablespoons greek thyme
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
1 cup olive oil
1 cup fresh lemon juice
4 cups dry red wine
salt and pepper
6 -8 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons oregano
2 tablespoons thyme
2 tablespoons rosemary
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 lbs roasting potatoes, peeled and cut lengthwise into six wedges
1 cup olive oil
1 cup lemon juice
water
1 -2 tablespoon oregano
salt and pepper
2 -3 cloves garlic

Steps:

Trim the excess fat off the lamb and set aside.
Finely chop the whole garlic head.
Combine with the remaining marinade ingredients.
Place the lamb in a large, deep container or baking dish and pour in the marinade.
Turn the lamb in the marinade so that it is coated all over.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Using a mortar and pestle, crush the ingredients for the dry rub all together until they are pastelike in consistency.
Remove the lamb from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Make 10-15 small incisions all over its surface using a small, sharp paring knife.
Stuff each of these little holes with the dry rub and rub whatever is left over the surface of the lamb.
Season well with salt and pepper and rub the lamb with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the potatoes in a large roasting pan and toss with the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and oregano.
Season well with salt and pepper.
Place the lamb over the potatoes.
Roast, frequently basting both the lamb and the potatoes with the pan juices for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, for a well-done leg.
Add a little water to the pan during baking if necessary to keep the pan juices from drying out.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
Keep the potatoes in the turned off oven until ready to serve.

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS WITH LEMON

Braised Lamb Shanks With Lemon image

Many of us had our earliest experiences with braised foods not at the pricey restaurants that have recently rediscovered their appeal but at the Greek diners that never forgot it. So it's not surprising that I associate braised lamb shanks with egg-lemon sauce, a Greek staple. But when I set about to recreate this standard dish I found the sauce superfluous. Though a slow-cooked pot of braised lamb shanks and root vegetables becomes so sweet that it begs for something to counter it, it is also so rich that the thick sauce (a primitive form of béarnaise, really) is overkill. Better, it seems to me, is to finish the braised shanks with what you might call lemon-lemon sauce, using both a lemon's zest and a lemon's juice. That little touch converts this dish from a delicious but perhaps one-dimensional stew to something more, a braise that may never look particularly elegant but tastes that way.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 lamb shanks, roughly a pound each
Salt and pepper to taste
3 or 4 thyme sprigs
6 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
1 large onion, cut into chunks
4 stalks celery, roughly chopped
4 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
2 cups dry white wine or water
1 1/2 pounds waxy potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 lemon
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

Put oil in a large, deep skillet or casserole that can be covered later, and turn heat to medium-high. Add shanks, sprinkling them with salt and pepper. When pieces are deeply browned on one side, add thyme, garlic, onion, half the celery and half the carrots, and more salt and pepper to skillet. Continue to brown, stirring occasionally.
Add wine, and let mixture bubble for about a minute; cover and adjust heat so that mixture simmers steadily. Cook for about an hour.
Add remaining vegetables to pan; zest lemon, and add zest as well. Continue to cook until lamb is very tender and vegetables soft, another 30 to 45 minutes. (You can prepare dish up to this point in advance; let sit for a few hours, or cover and refrigerate for up to a day before reheating and proceeding.)
When lamb is done, juice lemon, and add juice to sauce. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve, garnished with parsley.

TRADITIONAL GREEK ROASTED LAMB AND POTATOES

Traditional Greek Roasted Lamb and Potatoes image

A traditional and very flavorful Greek recipe for Easter and any Springtime family meal!

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories Main course

Time 3h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

3.5 lbs. lamb shoulder (bone in)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tsps. sea salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
8 med. garlic cloves, divided into half slivered and half minced
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, divided
4 springs fresh thyme
2 tsp. dried Greek oregano
--- zest of one lemon
For the potatoes:
2 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled & quartered
1½ tsps. sea salt
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. dried Greek oregano
Juice of 1 medium lemon
½ cup water or chicken stock, hot (if needed)

Steps:

Pat dry the lamb using paper towels and place it in a roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, make several incisions in the lamb and insert the slivered garlic and half of the rosemary leaves.
Whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, the other half of the garlic (minced), the other half of the rosemary (chopped), thyme, oregano and lemon zest. Pour the marinade over the lamb making sure to cover it on all sides. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
30 minutes before you are ready to roast the lamb, remove it from the refrigerator and turn on the oven to 450°F.
Wrap the lamb and its marinade well with parchment paper (not wax paper) and then with aluminum foil (this will ensure that all the juices stay with the meat and do not leek.) If you do not have parchment paper, use two layers of foil instead. Place the roasting pan with the lamb in the middle rack of the oven, cook for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 360°F. Roast for 2 hours.
While the lamb roasts, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then in quarters. If the potatoes are large, cut each quarter in half again. Place them in a medium bowl and toss them with the salt, pepper, oregano, and lemon juice.
After two hours, remove the roast from the oven, open the wrapping carefully and check it. At this point, the bone should be loose and starting to come away from the meat. If it is not, cover the lamb again, return it to the oven, and roast for another 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Uncover the lamb; there should be about a cup of its juices in the pan. If there is not enough liquid, add enough hot water to make about 1 cup. Scatter the potatoes around and under the lamb and return the pan to the oven for about 20-30 minutes until the skin of the lamb is brown and crisp (cover loosely with a piece of foil if the lamb becomes too dark before this time).
At this point, remove only the lamb from the roasting pan and transfer it to a platter. Cover it loosely with some foil and let it rest for 20 minutes. Continue roasting the potatoes for another 15 minutes, or so, until they become soft and have a nice golden color. There should be still plenty of juice in the pan.
To serve, spoon some pan juices over the lamb, divide it in four portions and serve it alongside the lemon potatoes. Garnish with some lemon slices and enjoy with a glass of Merlot.
