PERFECT ROASTED LEG OF LAMB



Perfect Roasted Leg of Lamb image

This easy no-fail roasted leg of lamb recipe, with a special Mediterranean seasoning, will give you the BEST lamb roast every single time! Remember, the best lamb leg is either cooked to perfect pink inside (internal temp somewhere around 130°F) or until the meat falls off the bone (internal temp somewhere around 175°F or beyond). Just avoid cooking your lamb to the in-between stage which can be tough. I like to cook some potatoes in the same pan to complete the meal. Add a big Mediterranean salad of your choice, you can't go wrong with Greek salad for this one.

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 4 to 5 pound leg of lamb, (bone-in, fat trimmed)
Salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, (peeled and sliced; more for later)
2 cups water
8 gold potatoes, (peeled and cut into wedges)
1 yellow onion, (peeled and cut into wedges)
1 teaspoon paprika, (more for later)
1 teaspoon all-natural garlic powder
Fresh parsley for garnish, (optional)
15 garlic cloves, (peeled)
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried mint flakes
1 tablespoons paprika
1/2 tablespoons nutmeg
1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
2 lemons, (juice of)

Steps:

  • Bring the leg of lamb to room temp. Take the leg of lamb out of the refrigerator and leave in room temperature for about 1 hour. In the meantime, prepare the remaining ingredients and make the lamb rub.
  • Prepare the seasoning. To make the rub or seasoning, in a food processor, combine the rub ingredients. Blend until smooth. Set aside (or in the fridge, if preparing in advance).
  • Salt the meat. When ready, pat the lamb dry and make a few slits on both sides. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the Lamb. Turn the oven on broil. Place the leg of lamb on a wire rack and put it directly on the top rack so that it's only a few inches away from the broiler element. Broil for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the leg of lamb is nicely seared. Remove from the oven, then adjust the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Apply the seasoning or rub. When the lamb is cool enough to handle, insert the garlic slices in the slits you made earlier. Now cover the leg of lamb on all sides with the wet rub and place it in the middle of a roasting pan with an inside rack. Add two cups of water to the bottom of the roasting pan.

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

9 cloves garlic, divided
¼ cup Dijon mustard
5 sprigs fresh rosemary, divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 (4 pound) boneless leg of lamb, or more to taste
3 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and diced into 1-inch pieces
1 Spanish onion, sliced
½ cup honey, divided
¼ cup olive oil
3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Mix 4 cloves garlic, Dijon mustard, leaves from 2 sprigs of rosemary, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small food processor. Blend into a paste. Crush the remaining garlic.
  • Trim excess fat from lamb and place in a large roasting pan.
  • Combine tomatoes, onion, 1/4 cup honey, olive oil, remaining crushed garlic, and remaining salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well.
  • Spread rosemary-mustard paste over the top of the lamb. Spoon tomato mixture around lamb. Tuck remaining rosemary and thyme sprigs evenly up against the leg of lamb. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup honey.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the lamb reads at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Transfer lamb on a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest, 10 to 15 minutes. Discard rosemary and thyme stems. Return the roasting pan to the oven to keep the tomato mixture warm.
  • Slice and arrange lamb on a plate. Spoon the warm tomato mixture and pan juices on top.
