Lamb Potato And Lemon Thyme Casserole Recipes

LEMON-AND-THYME POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Place a baking sheet on rack below to catch any drips from gratin. Brush a 10-by-5 1/2-inch gratin dish with melted butter.
• Cover bottom of gratin dish with one-third of potato slices in an even layer. Sprinkle potatoes with one-third each of thyme, nutmeg, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Dot with butter. Add a second layer, and season. Top with a third layer of neatly arranged potato slices. Pour milk over potatoes. Sprinkle with remaining third thyme, nutmeg, and lemon zest, and dot with butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with foil.
• Bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, and continue to bake 10 to 20 minutes, until top is golden brown and potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Serve gratin hot, spooned out into individual servings.

LAMB WITH THYME-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Pierce the lamb all over with a sharp knife and push garlic halves into the holes. Rub the oil all over the lamb and season well. Scatter half the thyme on top, than place the lamb on a wire rack over a roasting tray. Roast for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, in a small pan, bring the stock and butter just to the boil. Carefully lift out the lamb and wire rack. Tip the potatoes into the tray and pour over the buttery stock. Season and sprinkle on the remaining thyme. Mix everything well, shaking the tray until the potatoes are in an even layer. Place the rack and lamb back on top and cook for 1 hr.
• After 1 hr, increase oven temp to 220C/200C fan/gas 8 and remove the lamb. Cover loosely and transfer to a warm place to rest for 30 mins before carving. Continue cooking the potatoes while the lamb rests until they are golden and starting to crisp. Return the lamb to the top of the potatoes, pour over any resting juices and carve over the potatoes so all the juices fall onto them.

LAMB STEW WITH LEMON AND THYME

Steps:

• Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Toss lamb cubes with flour in medium-sized bowl. Shake off excess flour and set aside on a wire rack.
• Pour oil into Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add lamb. Cook lamb until browned on each side, about eight minutes total. Remove lamb to a plate and set aside.
• Add shallots, leeks, garlic, and thyme to Dutch oven. Cook, stirring often, until leeks are lightly browned, about four minutes.
• Add stock, white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest to pot. Scrape up any browned bits from bottom of Dutch oven with wooden spoon. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and return lamb to Dutch oven.
• Turn heat to high and bring to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and partially cover. Cook, stirring frequently, until lamb is very tender, 45 minutes to an hour.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with boiled potatoes.

GARLIC AND HERB LEG OF LAMB WITH POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• 2-3 hours before roasting, prepare the lamb. Use a small, sharp knife to make 15 to 20 incisions, each about 2 inches (5 cm) deep, through the fat cap on top of the meat. Thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic and use your fingers to press the slices into the incisions.
• In a blender, combine the remaining 9 garlic cloves, the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Blend until a paste forms.
• Spread the paste evenly all over the lamb. Let marinate at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Place the lamb on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and pour the wine into the bottom of the pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C).
• Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in the roasting pan and place the lamb on the rack on top. Roast for 2 hours, tossing the potatoes and basting the lamb with the roasting liquid halfway through.
• Transfer the potatoes to a platter, baste the lamb again with the remaining pan juices, and return the lamb to the oven. Continue to roast, basting often, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the leg reaches 130°F (for medium-rare), 45 minutes to 2 hours more, depending on thickness. (As a general rule, the lamb should roast 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare).
• Transfer the lamb to a platter and set aside to rest for 20 minutes. While the lamb rests, return the potatoes to the roasting pan, season with flaky salt, and warm in the oven until just heated through, about 20 minutes. Return the potatoes to the serving platter.
• Carve the lamb into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices and arrange on the platter with the potatoes, garnished with rosemary and thyme sprigs. Serve with whole grain mustard alongside.
• Enjoy!

LAMB CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Tie the sprigs of parsley and thyme together with the bay leaves or place them in a cheesecloth and tie closed, because you will want to easily remove the herbs later. Place the herb bundle, lamb, ham, onion, tomato, garlic and stock in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour. Stir in the beans and sausage and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes, or more if you want a thicker consistency.
