Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (6- to 7-pound) bone-in leg of lamb, trimmed and tied
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons chopped garlic (9 cloves), divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds ripe red tomatoes, cored and 1-inch-diced
1/2 cup good olive oil
1/2 cup good honey, divided
1 large Spanish onion, sliced
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary plus branch of rosemary for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the leg of lamb in a large roasting pan fat side up and pat it dry with paper towels. Combine the mustard, 1 tablespoon of the garlic, the rosemary, balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a mini food processor and pulse until the garlic and rosemary are minced. Spread the mixture on the lamb.
  • Place the tomatoes, olive oil, 1/4 cup of the honey, the onion, the remaining 2 tablespoons garlic, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper in a bowl and toss well. Pour the tomato mixture around the lamb and tuck in the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Drizzle the lamb with the remaining 1/4 cup of honey.
  • Roast for 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees F and roast for another 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until a meat thermometer registers 130 to 135 degrees F for medium-rare. Place the lamb on a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Discard the herb stems and return the tomatoes to the oven to keep warm. Slice the lamb, arrange on a platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve with the tomatoes and pan juices spooned on top. Garnish with a branch of rosemary.

LAMB ROAST (4 HOUR) BY INA GARTEN



LAMB ROAST (4 HOUR) BY INA GARTEN image

Categories     Lamb     Roast     Dinner

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (6 to 7-pound) leg of lamb - tied (see note)
Good olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 (750-ml) bottle dry white wine
2 heads of garlic, broken apart but not peeled
15 large sprigs fresh rosemary
15 large sprigs fresh thyme
6 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Rub the lamb all over with olive oil and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a very large Dutch oven such as Le Creuset over medium-high heat until its hot. Add the lamb and sear on all sides for about 12 minutes, until its browned all over. Remove the lamb to a plate. Add the wine and 2 cups of water to the pan and cook for a minute or two, scraping up all the brown bits in the bottom. Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves and the lamb on top. Place the lid on the pot and bake in the oven for 4 hours, basting occasionally. (If you dont have a lid, you can cover it tightly with 2 layers of aluminum foil.) After 4 hours, the lamb should be incredibly tender and falling off the bone. Remove the lamb to a plate, cover it tightly with foil and allow it to rest. Strain the sauce into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to reduce. The lamb will be too tender to slice; serve it warm with spoons and the sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large unpeeled garlic cloves, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 to 5 pounds small unpeeled potatoes (16 to 20 potatoes)
2 tablespoons good olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven so the lamb will sit in the middle of the oven.

Process until the garlic and rosemary are finely minced. Thoroughly coat the top and sides of the lamb with the rosemary mixture. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Toss the potatoes and remaining unpeeled garlic in a bowl with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place the lamb on top of the potatoes. Roast for 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees F and roast for another 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until a meat thermometer registers 130 to 135 degrees F for medium-rare.

INA GARTEN'S BRAISED 4-HOUR LAMB & PROVENCAL FRENCH BEANS RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Ina Garten's Braised 4-Hour Lamb & Provencal French Beans Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 24

BEANS:
1 (6 to7-pound) leg of lamb (see note)
Good olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 (750-ml) bottle dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock, or water
2 heads of garlic, broken apart but not peeled
15 large sprigs fresh rosemary
15 large sprigs fresh thyme
1 onion, peeled and cut in half (my adaptation, to add more flavor to the broth)
6 bay leaves
14 ounces dried Great Northern beans
1 quart homemade chicken stock or canned broth
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 cup good olive oil
2 cups yellow onions, chopped
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, minced
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Rub the lamb all over with olive oil and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a very large Dutch oven such as Le Creuset over medium-high heat until its hot. Add the lamb and sear on all sides for about 12 minutes, until its browned all over. Remove the lamb to a plate. Add the wine and 2 cups of water to the pan and cook for a minute or two, scraping up all the brown bits in the bottom. Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves and the lamb on top. Place the lid on the pot and bake in the oven for 4 hours, basting occasionally. (If you dont have a lid, you can cover it tightly with 2 layers of aluminum foil.) After 4 hours, the lamb should be incredibly tender and falling off the bone. Remove the lamb to a plate, cover it tightly with foil and allow it to rest. Strain the sauce into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to reduce. The lamb will be too tender to slice; serve it warm with spoons and the sauce. Note: Before you buy the lamb, measure the diameter of your pot. If the lamb is longer than your pot, ask the butcher to cut off the shank end of the lamb and cook both pieces together in the same pot. Beans: Place the beans in a bowl and cover with water. Soak in the refrigerator overnight. Drain the beans, place in a large saucepan with the chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes*, until tender but not mushy. Add 1 tablespoon of salt for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Drain, reserving the stock. Note: I found that I needed to cook the beans for 1 1/2 hours, because they were a little too firm for my own personal liking. Adjust cooking time to your own personal taste. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil, then add the onions, diced carrots, and celery, and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Add the parsley, garlic, rosemary, and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. Add the beans and 2 cups of the cooking stock. (If you dont have enough liquid, add additional stock or water to make 2 cups.) Cook for 15 minutes until the stock makes a little sauce, adding more stock if necessary. Finish with the Parmesan cheese. Serve with a garnish of chopped parsley. Tasting note: I was thinking the beans didn't have much flavor, until I added the Parmesan cheese. Wow, that made a big difference!

INA GARTEN'S RACK OF LAMB



Ina Garten's Rack of Lamb image

A nice savory glaze of salt, rosemary, thyme, garlic, mustard, and balsamic vinegar makes this lamb recipe sing a lovely song. Recipe developed by Ina Garten (aka the Barefoot Contessa), and slightly adapted by me.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon thyme, crushed
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 racks of lamb, frenched (see below)

Steps:

  • In bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the salt, rosemary, thyme and garlic until they're as finely minced as possible.
  • Now add the mustard and balsamic vinegar and process for about 1 minute.
  • Put the lamb in a roasting pan with the ribs curving down, and coat the tops with the mustard mixture. Allow to stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Roast lamb for exactly 20 minutes for rare or 25 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from oven and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then cut into individual ribs and serve.
  • Frenching is the technique of cutting meat away from the top of a rib or chop before cooking to expose part of the bone. Ask your butcher to trim and french the rack for you. If a butcher is unavailable, follow these steps for presentation-worthy chops: Remove the thick layer of fat from bone side of rack by pulling it away with your hands and using a thin sharp knife to cut through the end; discard. (Bits of lean meat within the fat layer can be frozen for soup.) Remove meat between the ribs to 1 to 2 inches of the eye of the meat by cutting down and up along the bones. Scrape remaining bits of meat from the bone.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right cut of lamb is key. Look for a shoulder or leg of lamb that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Don't be afraid to season the lamb generously. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 tablespoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of lamb.
  • Browning the lamb before roasting it is an important step that helps to develop flavor and color. Make sure to get a good sear on all sides of the meat.
  • Roasting the lamb at a low temperature is the best way to ensure that it cooks evenly and remains tender. A good rule of thumb is to roast the lamb at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes per pound.
  • Let the lamb rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Roasting a leg of lamb is a classic dish that is perfect for any special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb roast is cooked to perfection and enjoyed by all.
