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!

GRILLED LEG OF LAMB WITH GARLIC AND HERB LEMON MARINADE



Grilled Leg of Lamb With Garlic and Herb Lemon Marinade image

This is really the only recipe I use when I grill a leg of lamb. Plan ahead, the lamb needs to marinate 24 hours or overnight. This marinade can also be used for lamb chops. A butterflied leg of lamb is with the bones removed and cut to spread open, you can ask your butcher to remove the bones and butterfly it for you. If you prefer a more lemony taste then thinly slice half of another lemon, leave the peel on, and just throw the slices inside the bag or bowl with along with the other marinade. If desired you can also stuff the lamb with garlic cloves as well as adding the minced garlic in with the marinade. Grilling time depends on size of lamb. This recipe produces an excellent grilled lamb that melts in your mouth, try to not overcook the lamb, for best results leave slightly pink in the middle.
