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.

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!

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.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb

Time 2h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (5 pound) leg of lamb
3 cloves garlic, cut into slivers
3 teaspoons dried dill weed
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Puncture the leg of lamb with the tip of a knife just far enough to insert slivers of garlic into the holes. Mix together the dill, salt and rosemary, and rub over the leg of lamb. Place the lamb, fatty side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
  • Roast uncovered for 2 to 2 1/2 hours in the preheated oven, to an internal temperature of 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) for medium. Tent with aluminum foil and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. The lamb will continue to cook a little bit, and the juices will set up better for carving.

Cooking succulent lamb and herby potatoes together means the potatoes absorb all the lovely juices

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Main course

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2kg leg of lamb
4 garlic cloves , sliced
few rosemary sprigs
few thyme sprigs
2kg large potato , such as King Edwards
2 onions , thinly sliced
600ml chicken stock
50g butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cut small pockets into the skin and flesh of the lamb by piercing it with the point of a sharp knife. Stuff each pocket with a slice of garlic and a few leaves of rosemary, or scatter with thyme. Put in a roasting tin, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then cover with foil.
  • Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, rinse under the cold tap and pile into a large ovenproof dish or roasting tin. Toss with the onions, remaining slices of garlic and a good scattering of herbs.
  • Heat the stock and butter together, then pour over the potatoes. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven with the lamb for 1 hr. Uncover, put the lamb on top of the potatoes and roast uncovered for 45 mins more. Allow the lamb to rest before carving, for about 15 mins. Leave the potatoes in the oven (covered, if starting to brown too much) until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb. Lamb leg is a great choice for roasting, as it's a relatively tender cut with plenty of flavor. If you're looking for a leaner option, you can also use lamb shoulder.
  • Marinate the lamb overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Sear the lamb before roasting. This will help to create a crispy outer layer and lock in the juices. Sear the lamb in a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side.
  • Roast the lamb at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the meat from drying out. Roast the lamb at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. Let the lamb rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Garlic and Herb Leg of Lamb with Potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a special occasion dinner. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the potatoes are roasted to perfection. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home and impress your friends and family.
