ROSEMARY AND GARLIC ROAST LEG OF LAMB



Rosemary and Garlic Roast Leg of Lamb image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 leg of lamb, bone in (about 6 to 7 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
8 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 cup chopped fresh herbs (combination of rosemary, chives, and parsley)
2 cups diced onions
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup red wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Using your hands, rub the lamb all over with the lemon juice. Pat the garlic and rosemary evenly all over the surface of the meat. Season the meat with the salt and pepper and place the lamb in a roasting pan. Place the lamb in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for about 1 hour longer for medium-rare, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers about 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (be careful that the thermometer does not touch the bone.) Remove lamb from pan and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
  • Position the roasting pan over your stove burners. Add mixed herbs and onions to pan, and stir to combine with pan drippings. Add chicken stock and wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any fond. Reduce over high heat until sauce consistency. Strain before serving, if desired. Slice lamb and serve with sauce drizzled over the top.

LEMON-ROSEMARY ROAST LEG OF LAMB



Lemon-Rosemary Roast Leg of Lamb image

We've taken the classic approach of studding the lamb with garlic and coating in a generously seasoned rub. Giving it time to marinate is the key, then roast for a crispy exterior and tender, juicy inside.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 6 1/2- to 8-pound bone-in leg of lamb
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Trim the excess fat from the lamb, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch layer of fat. Using a sharp knife, make small slits, about 1/2 inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart, all over the surface of the lamb. Fill each slit with a slice of garlic.
  • Grate the lemon zest into a small bowl (reserve the lemon). Add the rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. Rub the mixture all over the lamb. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature about 1 hour before roasting. Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Set a rack in a roasting pan and set the lamb fat-side up on the rack. Cut the reserved lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the lamb; drizzle with the olive oil and rub all over to coat. Add the lemon halves to the pan. Roast until the fat on the lamb starts to sizzle, about 20 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ F and continue roasting the lamb until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130˚ F for medium rare to medium, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes more. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before carving.

3 teaspoons dried dill weed

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH ANCHOVY, GARLIC AND ROSEMARY



Roast Leg of Lamb With Anchovy, Garlic and Rosemary image

Provided by Aleksandra Crapanzano

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 4-pound bone-in leg of lamb
4 large garlic cloves, peeled and sliced lengthwise into thirds
20 anchovy fillets in oil, drained
1 bunch rosemary
6 tablespoons butter, softened
Freshly ground black pepper
1 2/3 cups white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt, as needed
1 small bunch of watercress, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. With a small, sharp knife, make 12 incisions 2 inches deep into the fleshy side of the leg. Insert a piece of garlic, half an anchovy and a small sprig of rosemary into each incision. Push them in with your little finger.
  • Cream the butter with the remaining anchovies and smear it all over the meat. Sprinkle the meat generously with black pepper, place in a roasting pan and pour the wine around it. Tuck in any leftover sprigs of rosemary and pour the lemon juice over the meat.
  • Roast in the oven for 15 minutes; lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and roast for 1 hour more, basting from time to time with the juices. (Cook slightly longer, depending on how well done you like your meat.) Let rest in a warm place for at least 15 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, taste the juices, adding salt as needed. (It should not need much because of the anchovies.) If the gravy is too thin, simmer it in a skillet to thicken. If you choose, garnish the slices of lamb with sprigs of watercress. Serve with gravy and mashed potatoes or creamed eggplant.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND ROSEMARY



Roast Leg of Lamb with Lemon, Garlic, and Rosemary image

The longer the lamb marinates in the seasoning paste, the better flavor you'll have. Anywhere from 1 to 24 hours will work, but overnight is best. Slice the leftovers for pita stuffed sandwiches topped with tabbouleh.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

GARLIC AND HERB LAMB



Garlic and Herb Lamb image

A quick and easy rosemary rub that truly draws out the succulent flavor of lamb. Works on chops or leg of lamb.

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.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 234.9 calories, Carbohydrate 0.6 g, Cholesterol 100.2 mg, Fat 13.9 g, Fiber 0.1 g, Protein 25.3 g, SaturatedFat 6.7 g, Sodium 393.4 mg

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: A leg of lamb is a good choice for this recipe, as it is a relatively tender and flavorful cut. You can also use a shoulder of lamb, but it will take longer to cook.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a mixture of garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and lemon juice helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can marinate the lamb for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the lamb slowly: Lamb is a tough meat, so it is important to cook it slowly over low heat. This will help to break down the connective tissue and make the meat tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving: Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but it requires some time and patience. However, the end result is a delicious and flavorful meal that is sure to impress your guests.
