Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb

Time 2h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head garlic
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 ½ cups soft bread crumbs
1 (8 bone) rack Lamb, domestic, rib, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, choice, raw
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Wrap garlic head in foil.
  • Roast garlic in the preheated oven until soft, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Slice in half; squeeze to remove the roasted garlic within.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon roasted garlic with bread crumbs, parsley, and thyme. Reserve remaining roasted garlic for another use.
  • Wrap the exposed bone sections of the rack individually in aluminum foil.
  • Set the rack, bone-side down, ribs facing away, on a sheet of plastic wrap and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush meat with mustard to create a thin layer. Spread bread crumb mixture over and press the crumbs into it using the plastic wrap. Set the lamb on a roasting rack. Discard the plastic wrap.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness, or to desired doneness, 25 to 35 minutes. Let the lamb sit for 20 minutes in a warm location; carve into 4 two-bone chops. Season with salt.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB FRENCH-STYLE (GIGOT D'AGNEAU A LA FRANCAISE)



Roast Leg Of Lamb French-Style (Gigot D'agneau A La Francaise) image

Provided by Craig Claiborne And Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 leg of lamb, 8 to 9 pounds
1 tablespoon corn, peanut or vegetable oil
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 large cloves garlic, each cut into 16 slivers
2 onions, about 1/2 pound, cut crosswise in half
2 bay leaves
1 carrot, about 1/4 pound, trimmed, scraped and cut crosswise into 6 pieces
1 cup water
Flageolet beans in cream (see recipe), optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • It is recommended that you have the butcher remove and set aside the hipbone of the lamb. This is the upper bone that is attached to the main (straight) leg bone. This can also be done in the home kitchen, using a thin, sharp boning knife, neatly cutting all around the meat attached to the hipbone and severing the hipbone from the main bone. Cut off and discard the skin, leaving a light layer of fat.
  • Rub the meat all over with the oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and the thyme.
  • Make 16 gashes in the flesh of the leg and insert the garlic slivers.
  • Place the leg, the thickest side down, in a roasting pan and scatter around it the hipbone, onion halves (cut side down), bay leaves and carrot pieces.
  • Place in the oven and bake one hour. Remove the lamb and pour off the fat from the pan.
  • Return the lamb to the pan, the thickest side up.
  • Pour the water into the pan and continue baking 30 minutes for medium-rare lamb (135 degrees internal temperature). If you wish the lamb well done, continue cooking 30 minutes or longer. In any event, remove the lamb from the oven, discarding the hipbone and vegetables, cover with foil and let it stand for 20 minutes before carving. Serve, if desired, with flageolet beans in cream.

Tips:

  • Trim the lamb racks. Remove any excess fat or sinew from the racks.
  • Season the lamb racks generously. Use a variety of herbs and spices to create a flavorful crust.

  • Roast the lamb racks in a preheated oven. Cook the lamb racks until they reach an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the lamb racks rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • Serve the lamb racks with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a red wine sauce.
