Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 2h10m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2kg bone-in leg of lamb
100g watercress
3 large garlic cloves , crushed
4 anchovy fillets in oil, drained and finely chopped
70g unsalted butter , softened
3 rosemary sprigs
100g sourdough bread , torn
½ tbsp olive oil
30g finely grated parmesan

Steps:

  • Remove the lamb from the fridge 1 hr before cooking. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Use the tip of a knife to make 20-25 small slits in the lamb, then set aside in a roasting tin. Blitz the watercress, garlic and anchovies in a food processor until smooth, then add the butter and pulse to combine.
  • Season the lamb, then spread over half of the butter mixture, pushing into the slits as well. Break the rosemary sprigs into pieces and tuck into the slits. Season, cover with foil and cook for 1 hr 20 mins for medium (a thermometer should read 55C), or 1 hr 40 mins, if you prefer the meat well done. Uncover the lamb halfway through cooking and spread over the remaining butter, then put back in the oven uncovered for the remaining time.
  • Meanwhile, blitz the sourdough in a food processor to make coarse crumbs. Toss with the oil and parmesan and spread out flat on a baking sheet. Put in the oven underneath the lamb for the last 20 mins of cooking, or until lightly golden and crunchy. Leave the lamb to rest, covered, for 30 mins, then slice and sprinkle over the crumbs.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND ROSEMARY



Roast Leg of Lamb with Lemon, Garlic, and Rosemary image

The longer the lamb marinates in the seasoning paste, the better flavor you'll have. Anywhere from 1 to 24 hours will work, but overnight is best. Slice the leftovers for pita stuffed sandwiches topped with tabbouleh.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

CHEF JOHN'S ROASTED LEG OF LAMB



Chef John's Roasted Leg of Lamb image

I've done more than a few lamb dishes dedicated to Easter, but inexplicably have never posted one for a whole leg of lamb. It's such a classic Easter menu option, and, when prepared using this method, makes for a very user-friendly hunk of meat.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb     Leg

Time 10h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup pomegranate molasses
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
1 teaspoon dried mint
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (5 pound) boneless leg of lamb, butterflied
kitchen twine
salt to taste
water as needed
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses, or as needed

Steps:

  • Stir 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses, garlic, rosemary, kosher salt, black pepper, Aleppo pepper, mint, and cumin together in a bowl.
  • Arrange the butterflied leg of lamb onto a work surface with the fatty side facing down. Cut 2 deep slashes in each of the the fleshy ends of the meat. Flip the lamb and cut 10 to 20 shallow slashes across the surface of the fat.
  • Spread 3/4 the pomegranate molasses mixture onto the meat-side of the lamb to coat completely. Fold meat together and turn into a large bowl. Spread remaining pomegranate mixture over the fatty side of the meat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a roasting rack in the bottom of a roasting pan.
  • Remove lamb from marinade and discard excess marinade. Gather roast and place onto a work surface with fatty side facing upwards. Tie the center section of the roast with kitchen twine to cinch the roast together. Repeat ties four times along the length of the roast.
  • Season roast with salt and transfer to prepared roasting pan. Pour water below the rack to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until hot and slightly pink in the center, about 1 3/4 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 135 degrees F (57 degrees C). Rest for 15 minutes, transfer to a plate, and brush with remaining pomegranate molasses.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH GARLIC AND HERBS



Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic and Herbs image

Make this Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic and Herbs for a flavorful main no matter the time of year.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bone-in leg of lamb (6 to 8 pounds), rinsed and patted dry
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
4 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary needles
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Use a paring knife to make a dozen small slits in the meat. Tuck garlic slivers into slits. Place meat in a baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, stir together oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour marinade over lamb, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, basting occasionally with the marinade, for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees with rack positioned to fit the lamb in a roasting pan. Remove lamb from refrigerator, uncover, and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat a roasting pan with oil.
  • Transfer lamb to a rack fitted in the prepared pan, reserving leftover marinade. Season meat with salt and pepper. Roast lamb, basting every 20 to 30 minutes, first with the reserved marinade, and then with juices that accumulate in the pan. The lamb will need to cook for about 20 minutes per pound (2 hours for a 6-pound leg of lamb; 2 hours and 40 minutes for 8 pounds). An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat, not touching the bone, should read 145 degrees when the lamb is medium-rare.
  • Remove pan from oven and transfer lamb to a cutting board. Cover to keep warm; let rest for 20 minutes before carving. Pour pan juices into a fat separator or glass measuring cup; spoon off any fat that rises to the surface and discard. Cover juices to keep warm while lamb rests; add any juices that collect as the lamb sits.
  • Carve lamb, and arrange slices on a large warm platter; drizzle with reserved pan juices just before serving.

ROASTED LEG OF LAMB



Roasted Leg of Lamb image

Roasting is a popular cooking method for a reason. See our step-by-step guides to Preparing a Leg of Lamb and Carving a Leg of Lamb at the Table.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bone-in leg of lamb, aitchbone removed by butcher (7 to 8 pounds)
2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chicken broth or water
2/3 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • For the cleanest-looking presentation, trim 1 1/2 inches of flesh from the shank bone with a sharp paring knife. (Your butcher may be willing to do this for you.)
  • The fell is a thin outer layer of fat that you may find if you buy an untrimmed leg from a butcher. It's very tough, so it's important to remove all of it. A long knife with a sharp thin blade is the best tool for the job.
  • Trim the excess fat that lies beneath the fell, but leave enough to enrich the meat and gravy. It also crisps up nicely when broiled, which helps give the carved slices great texture. Use shears to trim the fat pads around the hip, or large end.
  • Make incisions 1 inch long and 1/2 inch deep all over the leg; they?ll allow the aromatic rub to penetrate the meat more easily. Roughening the surface in this way also results in a crisper, more flavorful crust after broiling.
  • Stir together salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, mustard, and oil in a small bowl until it forms a wet paste. Spread rub evenly over lamb, working it into the incisions. Let lamb sit at room temperature, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Transfer lamb, fat side up, to a large roasting pan fitted with a rack, and add broth. Roast lamb 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees, and roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of flesh near the bone reaches 130 degrees to 135 degrees (medium-rare), about 55 minutes. Increase temperature to broil; broil until surface sizzles and becomes brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer lamb to a platter or carving board; let rest at least 20 minutes before carving.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb     Leg

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup olive oil
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 (8 pound) leg of lamb, boned and butterflied to a more or less even thickness, 4 3/4 to 5 1/2 pounds trimmed weight, fell and most fat removed
1 lemon, juiced
½ cup Minced fresh parsley, cilantro or mint

Steps:

  • Mix oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin and oregano; spread paste on both sides of the lamb and let stand for an hour until meat comes to room temperature.
  • Adjust oven rack to upper or upper-middle position (depending on lamb's thickness) and preheat broiler on high for at least 10 minutes.
  • Place lamb, cut side up, on a large wire rack set over a foil-lined roasting pan. Broil, moving pan so entire surface browns evenly, about 8 minutes. Turn lamb over; continue to broil until well browned on the other side, about 8 minutes longer. Turn off broiler, remove lamb from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Stick a meat thermometer into the thickest portion of the lamb; return it to the oven.

If lamb gets done sooner, simply turn down oven to 170 degrees until ready to serve.
  • As soon as lamb comes out of the oven, squeeze on lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Carve, slicing across the grain when possible. Arrange on a platter, drizzle with accumulated juices, and serve.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB RECIPE



Roast Leg of Lamb Recipe image

Roast leg of lamb is one of the easiest recipes to prepare for a special occasion. The simple herb, lemon, and garlic marinade is all you need.

Provided by John Mitzewich

Categories     Entree     Dinner

Time 7h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (5 to 6 pound) boneless leg of lamb (should come tied up, if not, have the butcher tie it for roasting)
2 lemons (juiced)
6 cloves garlic (crushed)
1/4 cup fresh rosemary (chopped)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt (as needed)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine all the ingredients, except for the olive oil and salt, in a large bowl.
  • Rub the leg of lamb thoroughly with the marinade until coated. You may even push some herbs and garlic into any cracks and crevices.
  • Place the lamb in a plastic bag, and marinade in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  • Remove the lamb from the fridge, and let sit out for 45 minutes to come up to room temperature.
  • Remove the lamb from the marinade and place on a rack in a large roasting pan. Rub with the olive oil, and season very generously with the salt. Keep the side with the most fat facing up. Preheat oven to 450 F.
  • Roast for 15 minutes in the preheated oven to begin browning the surface .
  • Then reduce the oven to 315 F and roast for approximately 10 minutes per pound (for a 5 to 6 pound leg this will be about an hour). The best method for checking the doneness is using a digital meat thermometer and removing the lamb when the internal temp reaches 135 F. This will give you a nice pink and juicy roast.
  • Let the lamb rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. It is best sliced thin, against the grain of the meat.

GARLIC AND HERB LEG OF LAMB WITH POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY



Garlic And Herb Leg Of Lamb With Potatoes Recipe by Tasty image

Cooking a melts-in-your-mouth lamb recipe doesn't need to be complicated. This leg of lamb is rubbed with a lemony, garlic-herb-mustard paste before being roasted over a pan of white wine and potatoes. The potatoes soak up all the juices while the lamb gets charred on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. Garnish with fresh rosemary and thyme before serving it as the centerpiece of a dinner you'll get endless compliments on.

Provided by Chris Salicrup

Categories     Dinner

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 lb bone-in lamb roast with fat cap
12 cloves garlic, divided
½ cup olive oil
⅓ cup whole grain mustard, plus more for serving
1 lemon, juiced
10 sprigs fresh rosemary, stemmed and leaves finely chopped, plus whole sprigs for serving
10 sprigs fresh thyme, stemmed and leaves finely chopped, plus whole sprigs for serving
1 ½ tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
¾ cup dry white wine
2 ½ lb yukon gold potato, halved
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

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!
