Provided by DICIA

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.

GARLIC STAKED LEG OF LAMB WITH SALAD OF MIXED GREENS



Garlic Staked Leg of Lamb with Salad of Mixed Greens image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 potatoes
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (1-pound) boned leg of lamb
3 ounces garlic
1 sprig rosemary
4 sprigs thyme
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped marjoram
2 cups lamb stock
2 slices dry bread, crust removed
1 ounce sliced garlic
3 ounces mixed salad greens
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Peel the potatoes and slice them extremely thinly using a mandolin. Rinse the slices well and dry them thoroughly. Grease 4 (4-inch) baking pans with 1-inch sides. Beginning at the outer edge, carefully arrange overlapping potato slices in a circular fashion, finishing at the center. This should create a shallow potato basket. Brush with some olive oil and bake until lightly browned.
  • Using a sharp knife make small incisions all over the leg of lamb and insert roughly half of the garlic into the slivers. In a heavy pan over medium heat, brown the lamb on all sides in extra-virgin olive oil, adding the chopped herbs. Cover, place in the oven, and cook slowly for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until meat is cooked through.
  • Reduce the lamb stock over medium heat until it becomes a syrup-like consistency. Cube the dry bread and toast it briefly in a cast-iron skillet. Cut a clove of garlic into thin slices and fry them in olive oil without allowing them to brown.
  • To make the dressing for the greens, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
  • To serve, place a potato basket on each plate. Fill with slices of lamb and top with lamb reduction. Serve with salad greens and garnish with toasted bread cubes and garlic chips.

VICTORIA'S LAMB WITH HERBS AND OLIVE OIL



Victoria's Lamb with Herbs and Olive Oil image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (5 to 6 pound) Spring leg of lamb (fresh or frozen, if frozen, defrost)
1/2 cup whole garlic cloves
1/2 cup whole peppercorns (generous use of this will make it spicier)
1 cup chopped rosemary
1/4 cup sea salt or kosher salt (should be coarse)
2 cans ripe pitted olives, in their juice
2 1/2 cups al dente white rice, cooked and cooled
1 large bunch medium washed and finely chopped parsley
2 large white onions finely chopped
2/3 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/3 cup olive oil
Medium jar grape leaves
1/4 olive oil
3/4 cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a mortar with a pestle grind garlic, peppercorns, rosemary and salt with a pestle until a well blended poultice. Trim excess fat from lamb. Rub olive oil onto the leg of lamb. Scoop out the poultice from the mortar and pack it completely around the leg of lamb. Make sure the leg is "sealed" with the poultice to keep in the flavor. Place the lamb into a roasting pan and pour in 1 or 2 cans (depending on size of roasting pan) ripe pitted olives in their juice. The lamb should be swimming in about 1-inch of juice.
  • Put roasting pan in the oven and roast for 45 to 1 hour, depending on size and density of lamb. The lamb must not be over-cooked. Serve it pink.
  • For the Stuffed Grape Leaves: Add to the cooked and cooled white rice the parsley, white onions, lemon juice and olive oil and then blend. After blending these ingredients estimate adding a large tablespoon for each leaf.
  • Lay the de-stemmed and rinsed grape leaf shiny side down, place portion of rice mixture in the center near the stem end and roll keeping stuffing close to end of leaf. Start folding in the sides and continue to roll keeping ends closed and stuffing secure inside.
  • Lay "stem" down (the end of the roll) in a flat pan and continue doing so until each one is side by side close together, keeping them from opening when cooking. You can often place at least 2 layers if making large amounts, but more layering is not recommended. Pour over leaves enough water to reach top layer only and bring to a boil and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. Add more water only, if necessary, so as not to burn the leaves. Water should all be evaporated in this period of time if not, drain remaining water.
  • Remove from burner and let cool for about 1/2 hour.
  • Then transfer in single layers into flat pans and pour over a mixture of lemon and olive oil and place in refrigerator cool and marinate overnight or at least several hours before serving. Can be stored for at least 2 to 3 days in refrigerator.

LAMB BRAISED WITH GREEN OLIVES



Lamb Braised With Green Olives image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 2h

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 sprigs rosemary, needles stripped from the branches and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3 pounds lamb shank, trimmed of fat and cut into 2-inch cubes
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cube chicken bouillon or cup chicken broth
1 large ripe tomato (about pound), peeled, seeded and chopped
3/4 cup green olives in brine, drained, rinsed and pitted
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven, and saute the rosemary, garlic and red-pepper flakes over low-medium heat for 4 or 5 minutes, until the garlic begins to turn golden. Add enough lamb to fit comfortably in the pan, and saute, turning several times, until it is evenly browned. Transfer it to a platter. Repeat until all the lamb is cooked, adding oil as needed.
  • Add the wine and the bouillon cube or broth to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the liquid has reduced by about half. Return the lamb to the pan, add the tomato, cover and cook over very low heat for about 1 hour, until the lamb is easily pierced with the tip of a knife.
  • Let the lamb sit for a few hours or overnight and reheat it. Skim off any fat, cover and simmer for half an hour, stirring in the olives during the last 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb for the best flavor and tenderness. Look for lamb that is bright red in color and has a firm texture.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can use the following rule of thumb to cook the lamb: for rare, cook for 10-12 minutes per pound; for medium, cook for 12-15 minutes per pound; and for well done, cook for 15-18 minutes per pound.
  • Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • For the green olive salad, use a variety of olives for the best flavor. Kalamata, Niçoise, and Castelvetrano olives are all good choices.
  • If you don't have any green olives, you can substitute black olives. However, the flavor of the salad will be slightly different.
  • The herb and garlic sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the sauce over low heat.

Conclusion:

This herb and garlic lamb with green olive salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the green olive salad is a refreshing and tangy accompaniment. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
