PERFECT ROASTED LEG OF LAMB



Perfect Roasted Leg of Lamb image

This easy no-fail roasted leg of lamb recipe, with a special Mediterranean seasoning, will give you the BEST lamb roast every single time! Remember, the best lamb leg is either cooked to perfect pink inside (internal temp somewhere around 130°F) or until the meat falls off the bone (internal temp somewhere around 175°F or beyond). Just avoid cooking your lamb to the in-between stage which can be tough. I like to cook some potatoes in the same pan to complete the meal. Add a big Mediterranean salad of your choice, you can't go wrong with Greek salad for this one.

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 4 to 5 pound leg of lamb, (bone-in, fat trimmed)
Salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, (peeled and sliced; more for later)
2 cups water
8 gold potatoes, (peeled and cut into wedges)
1 yellow onion, (peeled and cut into wedges)
1 teaspoon paprika, (more for later)
1 teaspoon all-natural garlic powder
Fresh parsley for garnish, (optional)
15 garlic cloves, (peeled)
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried mint flakes
1 tablespoons paprika
1/2 tablespoons nutmeg
1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
2 lemons, (juice of)

Steps:

  • Bring the leg of lamb to room temp. Take the leg of lamb out of the refrigerator and leave in room temperature for about 1 hour. In the meantime, prepare the remaining ingredients and make the lamb rub.
  • Prepare the seasoning. To make the rub or seasoning, in a food processor, combine the rub ingredients. Blend until smooth. Set aside (or in the fridge, if preparing in advance).
  • Salt the meat. When ready, pat the lamb dry and make a few slits on both sides. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the Lamb. Turn the oven on broil. Place the leg of lamb on a wire rack and put it directly on the top rack so that it's only a few inches away from the broiler element. Broil for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the leg of lamb is nicely seared. Remove from the oven, then adjust the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Apply the seasoning or rub. When the lamb is cool enough to handle, insert the garlic slices in the slits you made earlier. Now cover the leg of lamb on all sides with the wet rub and place it in the middle of a roasting pan with an inside rack. Add two cups of water to the bottom of the roasting pan.

  • Boneless Leg of Lamb Stuffed with Prunes & Chestnuts. You’ll need to ask the butcher to remove the bone from for this recipe – or maybe you can find boneless leg of lamb at your supermarket.
  • Braised Lamb Shanks with Creamy Polenta. This Italian recipe is both comforting and refined – and, on top of that, it’s easy to make. Once you’ve browned the lamb shanks and veggies with some red wine for extra flavor, you simply add everything to a braising pan and pop it in the oven, covered with foil, to braise slowly for about three hours.
  • Easy Braised Leg of Lamb. One pot dishes are the best, and this one is no exception – perfect for special occasions, but also easy enough to make so that you’re able to put it together on a weekday afternoon.
  • Cinnamon Lamb Stew. Sweet and spicy cinnamon pairs nicely with lamb, while the tomatoes and red wine add acidity and depth to the dish. Don’t skip the meat browning step, as it’s probably the most important one, taste-wise.
  • Greek Style Roasted Lamb. The leg of lamb is cooked whole in this recipe, so it’s really important that you marinate it properly (for at least a few hours or up to two days).
