Best 6 Aussie Barbequed Boneless Leg Of Lamb Recipes

GRILLED BONELESS LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan. Place lamb on a shallow baking pan. Season both sides of the meat with salt and coarse black pepper. In a food processor, puree the garlic, mint, salt and pepper, then add the extra-virgin olive oil in a slow stream. Pour marinade over the lamb and rub into the meat. Place on grill and cook on 1 side for 10 minutes. Flip lamb, cover with aluminum foil and grill for another 10 minutes.
• Remove lamb from grill pan and let rest for 10 minutes for juices to redistribute. Slice and serve. Squeeze a wedge of lemon or grapefruit over the meat and enjoy. Reserve 1 pound of the meat for the next day's recipe, see below. Complete this menu with Baby Potatoes with Cumin and Watercress Salad with Lime Dressing.
• Set potatoes on a cookie sheet and drizzle them with just enough oil to lightly coat them, about 1 1/2 tablespoons. Toss potatoes with cumin seed and roast 20 minutes at 400 in a hot oven, then broil 5 minutes on high to brown edges of the cut potatoes. If you are making them with the above recipe for lamb, set the baking sheet with the potatoes in the oven along side the lamb on the same rack. Toss cooked potatoes with salt, to your taste, and serve.

• Preheat a hooded barbecue to medium heat. Cook lamb with hood closed turning it once or twice, about 10-15 minutes each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130-140°F in the thickest part. Remove from the grill and transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• While the lamb is resting, brush the vegetables with oil and grill until lightly browned and tender. Arrange on a large platter with the sliced lamb and pesto.
• To make the pesto, place the almonds, parsley, basil, oil and juice in a food processor and process to a coarse paste. Add the cheese and process just to combine.

GRILLED BONELESS LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or broiler until quite hot; put the rack 4 inches from the heat source.
• Trim the lamb of excess fat. Mix together the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper; rub this mixture well into the lamb, being sure to get some into all the crevices. (If time allows, it does no harm to let the prepared lamb sit in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; just return the meat to room temperature before grilling.)
• Sear the meat over the hottest part of the grill until nicely browned on both sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Continue to cook with the grill covered or uncovered for 5 to 15 minutes longer, until the internal temperature at the thickest part is about 125°F. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Variations
• If grilling isn't an option, you can cook this dish in the oven: Put the broiler rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. Keep an eye on the lamb to prevent burning; the cooking time will be a little shorter. Or roast it in the middle of the oven, at 450°F, turning occasionally; the cooking time will be about the same.
• Grilled Boneless Leg of Lamb with Coriander and Ginger: Use a combination of 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 tablespoon garlic, and 1 tablespoon peeled fresh ginger, all minced or coarsely ground together; moisten with a little soy sauce.

• Grilled Soy-and-Ginger Boneless Lamb Leg: Rub the lamb all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon peeled minced or grated fresh ginger. Serve with lemon wedges.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB - AUSSIE STYLE.

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven as high as it will go while you prepare the lamb.
• Rub the oil all over the leg - top and bottom in a good sized baking tray.
• Cut each garlic clove into 6ths. Use a paring knife, cut small incisions all ove the lamb and carefully push a garlic into each hole.
• Remove the rosemary from the sprigs and sprinkle all over the lamb. Finally sprinkle the salt on top.
• Place into your hot oven and turn down to 220oC for 30 minutes.
• Turn the heat down and bake at 160oC for 4 hours. If you choose to add veggies, do it during hour 2 - that gives them 2 hours to cook. Carefully pour the lamb fat over your veggies to make them crispy and taste amazing.
• Strain the fat and juices off. Reserve the pan juices (not the fat) to make lamb gravy.
• Serve roast lamb with roast veggies, gravy, mint sauce and a slice of bread with butter (to mop it all up with).
• Veggies to add in hour 2: little onions, carrots, potatoes, sweet potato, pumpkin and parsnip.
