Lemon Rosemary Sauce Recipes

FESTIVE ROAST TURKEY WITH ROSEMARY, GARLIC AND LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• To ensure your amazing festive turkey is thoroughly cooked the first thing you need to do is let it sit at room temperature for about an hour. That-way the meat will be the same temperature throughout and cooked evenly.
• Preheat your oven at 400F (200C) with the rack placed in the lower third of the oven. You don't want this amazing festive turkey to get burned, do you?
• Now its time to prepare the glazing. In a small saucepan heat the oil till hot but not enough to cause the ingredients to sizzle. Place the rosemary, garlic and lemon zest and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the lemon is slightly shriveled and garlic is soft. It should take about 2-3 minutes.
• Remove the glazing from the heat and let it cool.
• Now its time to start preparing your amazing festive turkey! Start by tucking its wing tips underneath the body. Season on the inside with plenty of pepper and some salt - careful not to make it too salty though!
• Fill stuff the turkey with your stuffing, fold the neck skin over the opening and tie the legs together with a kitchen twine.
• Now for the glazing. Brush your amazing festive turkey with 1/2 cup of the rosemary-lemon oil and sprinkle some salt and pepper.
• Peal your onions in quarters and layer them on the bottom of a heavy roasting pan. Place your roasting rack on top followed by your perfectly seasoned and glazed festive turkey!
• Roast until the turkey is golden brown. It will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour. To keep it nice and moist reduce heat to 375F (190C), add 1 cup of water to the pan, brush with the rosemary oil. Remember to cover with a lid or foil at this stage. Repeat every 30 minutes. If the pan becomes dry remember to add some more water.
• The best way to know when your festive turkey is done is using a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh. If it reads 165F (73C) it's done!
• Once ready, transfer your amazing festive turkey to a platter or carving board and loosely tent with foil. Remember to let it rest for 30 minutes as the juices are still hot on the inside and if carved straight away they will simply run out of the meat...
• You can use your roasting pan glazing as a base for an amazing white wine gravy. Just add 1 cup of white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes for an amazing sauce...

BAKED PORK CHOPS RECIPE WITH LEMON ROSEMARY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 400 degrees.
• In a small saucepan, combine the broth, lemon juice, rosemary, and garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
• Stir in the cream and heat to a gentle simmer. Do not boil the cream sauce. Keep it on very low heat while you prepare the meat.
• Bring to a slow simmer and stir gently. Turn the burner off and let the mixture stay warm while the rest of the dish is prepared. It's not ready yet so don't worry.
• In an oven-safe frying pan or a cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• In a small dish, combine the garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
• Prepare the pork by sprinkling the seasoning mixture over all sides of the pork. Spread it evenly with your hands.
• Place the pork chops in the hot frying pan and cook for 3 minutes or until the pork is very slightly browned.
• Turn the pork over in the pan and sprinkle with the lemon juice over the top of the pork.
• Turn off your burner and place the entire frying pan in the oven to bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees.

• While the sauce warms, mix the cornstarch with the cold water in a small cup. Stir until thoroughly combined.
• Now stir a few tablespoons of the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with your cream sauce. This mixture will thicken your sauce and it could just take a very little bit so watch it closely not to add too much of the cornstarch so that you end up with gravy.
• Once the cornstarch mixture has been integrated and warmed, if you'd still like a thicker sauce you can add more of the cornstarch mixture a very little bit at a time until desired consistency.
• Remove the pork from the oven and serve hot with spoonfuls of the cream sauce over the top.
