Lamb Loin With Indian Spice Blend And Roasted Vegetable Stew With Frizzled Brussels Recipes

INDIAN BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Place a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When it is hot, add the garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes. Add the coriander, fenugreek, paprika, salt and pepper and cook for 30 seconds. Add the Brussels sprouts and 1/2 cup water and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Let steam until the sprouts are bright green and tender-crisp, 6 to 8 minutes.

FRIZZLED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH ROASTED ROMANESCO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the romanesco with half of the lemon juice, some olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Put on a baking sheet and place into the oven. Roast until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and bring to medium heat. When the garlic has turned a lovely golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, remove it from the pan and ditch it - it has fulfilled its garlic destiny!
• Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Season with salt, and cook until the sprouts have wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the lid, raise the heat to medium-high and let the sprout leaves brown and frizzle, about 5 minutes more. Taste and season with salt if needed.
• Toss with the pomegranate seeds, roasted romanesco and remaining lemon juice.

• In a blender purée 2 tablespoons parsley, oil, 1 teaspoon chopped garlic, zest, and salt until parsley is finely chopped. Sauce may be make 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Untie and unroll lamb. Season inside of lamb with salt and pepper and sprinkle with remaining parsley and minced garlic. Reroll lamb and retie with kitchen string. Season outside of lamb with salt and pepper. Put lamb on a rack in a roasting pan and roast in middle of oven 30 to 40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 125°F. for medium-rare or 130°F. for medium. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• In a small saucepan heat sauce over moderate heat until hot and just before serving stir in lemon juice. Slice lamb about 1/2 inch thick.
• Divide sauce between 2 plates and top with lamb.

SPICED ROAST LAMB

Steps:

• Stir together the marinade ingredients and season with ½ tsp ground black pepper and 1½ tsp flaky salt. Slash the lamb several times on both sides, then massage the marinade all over it. Seal into a large food bag or non-metallic container and chill overnight (or at least for a few hrs). Let the lamb sit at room temperature for 1 hr before roasting.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the lamb into a foil-lined roasting tin and roast for 20 mins. Turn the oven down to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and roast for 1 hr 20 mins for meat that's pink near the bone. Cover loosely with foil halfway through cooking or once the marinade has charred and the meat looks golden.
• Leave the lamb to rest for 20 mins before carving, then serve with lentil & tomato and cucumber salads (see related recipes).

EASY INDIAN CURRIED LAMB

Steps:

• Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, garlic, and cumin seeds in the hot oil until onion is browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add lamb, tomato paste, coriander, salt, garam masala, turmeric, and red chile powder; stir to coat. Cover saucepan and simmer until meat is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.

ROASTED LAMB WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Allow the leg of lamb to rest at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.
• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
• Whisk the garlic, pepper, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, rosemary, 1/2 cup olive oil, vinegar, and honey together in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the lamb, then season with 2 tablespoons coarse salt. Set aside. Place carrots, potatoes, beet, yam, and turnips in a large roasting pan. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange the seasoned leg of lamb on top of the vegetables.
• Roast the lamb in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue roasting to your desired degree of doneness, about 90 minutes more for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
• Allow the leg of lamb on a cutting board, tented with aluminum foil, for 30 minutes before carving. Place the vegetables on a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm until ready to serve.

ROASTED LAMB LOIN WITH GARLIC AND THYME

Steps:

• Boil water and add garlic cloves, cooking until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse garlic under cold water for 30 seconds and set aside. Preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine 6 cooked garlic cloves with olive oil. Mash together with a fork or whisk, adding thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Rub lamb with herb garlic mixture, coating completely and arrange loins on a baking sheet.
• Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a large ovenproof sauté pan over high heat. Add the lamb loins and cook just until browned on each side, about three minutes. Place the sauté pan in the preheated oven and cook the meat until medium rare, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; place lamb on cutting board and allow to rest.
• Warm the remaining TBSP olive oil in the sauté pan over high heat. Add the 10 remaining garlic cloves and sauté until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze by stirring and scraping all sides of the sauté pan. Cook until the wine reduces by half. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and swirl in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut the lamb loins into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Spoon the sauce evenly over the lamb. Scatter garlic around each plate.

INDIAN SPICED BARBECUED LAMB

Steps:

• Using a hand blender or mini food processor, whizz marinade ingredients to a smooth paste, then season with salt. Lay the lamb in a ceramic dish and coat with the marinade. Cover in cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hrs or preferably overnight.
• If you are using a charcoal barbecue, wait for the coals to become white and glowing (light the barbecue about an hour before you want to cook the lamb). If using a gas barbecue, cook the lamb over medium heat. Lift lamb out of the marinade and barbecue, flesh-side down, for about 25 mins. Flip it over and give the fat side about 15 mins. When the lamb has a dark brown crust and is cooked to your liking, leave it to rest on a board for 15 mins. (If the weather forces you indoors, the lamb can be roasted at 220C/200C fan/gas 7 for about an hour for pink meat; the breads can be cooked on a very hot griddle).
• To serve, carve the lamb into thick slices and scatter with the coriander and some of the Pickled red onion (see below). Serve the remaining onion in a dish alongside the raita and breads (see recipes, below).
