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).

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 whole lemons, washed, seeded, and chopped
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves removed
5 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 boneless leg of lamb, butterflied, boned, and cut to lay flat (about 5 pounds)

Steps:

  • Place the chopped lemon, rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a food processor. A blender can also be used, if done in batches. If you have neither, finely chop all ingredients together.
  • Open up the lamb and lay it flat. Spread and massage the lemon paste evenly over the inside and outside of the lamb. Place in a baking dish and cover, or in a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate overnight to marinate, turning occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. Place the lamb on a rack in a foil-lined roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Place the meat in the oven and after 5 minutes, reduce the temperature to 425 degrees. Roast for 45 minutes, or until medium rare, 140 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Allow the meat to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving and serving.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: For this marinade, a boneless leg of lamb or a rack of lamb are both great options. These cuts are tender and flavorful, and they will benefit from the marinade's flavors.
  • Make sure the lamb is at room temperature before marinating: This will help the marinade penetrate the meat more evenly.
  • Use a glass or ceramic dish to marinate the lamb: Avoid using metal dishes, as they can react with the marinade and alter the flavor of the lamb.
  • Cover the lamb completely with the marinade: This will ensure that all of the meat is evenly flavored.
  • Allow the lamb to marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight: The longer the lamb marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
  • When you're ready to cook the lamb, remove it from the marinade and pat it dry: This will help the lamb brown evenly.
  • Cook the lamb according to your preferred method: You can grill, roast, or pan-sear the lamb. Just be sure to cook it to your desired doneness.
  • Let the lamb rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This lemon-rosemary marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your lamb dishes. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or pan-searing the lamb, this marinade will help you create a tender and flavorful meal that your family and friends will love.
