POT ROAST OF LAMB



Pot Roast of Lamb image

Roast leg of lamb is a glorious dish, but the less-expensive shoulder, subtly flavored with herbs and simmered to a melting tenderness, can be just as - if not more - delicious. It must be boned first, but most butchers will do that for you. Then it's simply a matter of spreading with an aromatic mixture of herbs, rolling and braising with vegetables.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (5 1/2 lb) boneless lamb shoulder
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed beef broth, undiluted
1 bay leaf
2 lbs new potatoes (about 12)
8 medium onions, peeled
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
2 garlic cloves, crushed

Steps:

  • Wipe lamb with damp paper towels. Trim excess fat. Spread flat on board, pound with mallet to make even thickness. Pour lemon juice over lamb to cover completely.
  • For filling: In bowl, combine chopped onion, parsley, salt, basil, marjoram and garlic; mix well. Spread onion-parsley mixture evenly over lamb to within 1 inch of edge all around. Starting at short side, roll up, tie roll with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals to secure. If necessary, close ends with toothpicks.
  • Slowly heat the butter in an 8-quart Dutch oven. In hot butter, brown roast evenly on all sides, turning with wooden spoons - takes about 25 minutes. Spoon off excess fat. Pour beef broth into a 2-cup measure. Add water to measure 1-1/2 cups. Add to lamb along with bay leaf, bring to the boiling point. Reduce heat, simmer, covered, 1-1/2 hours, turning meat at least once.
  • Wash potatoes; pare strip around each one. Add potatoes and onions to Dutch oven. Simmer, covered, 40 minutes, or until lamb and vegetables are tender (test vegetables with a fork).
  • Remove lamb, potatoes and onions to serving platter. Keep Warm. Remove string from lamb, let stand 20 minutes for easier carving.
  • Skim fat from pan liquid. Measure liquid; add water to make 1-3/4 cups. Mix flour with 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
  • Stir into pan liquid, bring to boiling, stirring. Add chopped mint. Reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes. Spoon some of mint gravy over meat, and pass the rest. Garnish serving platter with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves, if desired.

A leg of lamb stretches to feed a crowd of up to eight, especially when combined with sliced potatoes and carrots in gravy

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1.8kg part-boned leg of lamb
5 garlic cloves , sliced
a few rosemary sprigs
a few thyme sprigs, plus a few extra to serve
50g butter
2 large onions , thinly sliced
400g pack diced mutton or lamb shoulder, finely choppped
2kg large potato , such as King Edwards, thinly sliced
300g carrot , sliced at an angle
3 tbsp plain flour
700ml lamb or beef stock , plus 450ml (optional)
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
steamed green beans and wilted spinach with nutmeg (optional), to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cut small pockets into the skin and flesh of the lamb by piercing it with the point of a sharp knife. Stuff each pocket with a slice of garlic, using 3-4 of the cloves, and a few leaves of rosemary. Stuff some more inside the lamb, with some thyme, where the bone has come from. Put in a roasting tin, season well and cover with foil.
  • Melt half the butter in a large frying pan. Fry the onions, stirring frequently, until softened and golden. Tip into a second large roasting tin. Cook the chopped mutton or lamb in the pan until brown. Add to the onions in the tin, and toss with the potatoes, carrots, remaining garlic and herbs (chopped), 2 tbsp of the flour and some seasoning.
  • Pour the stock into the frying pan, then add the Worcestershire sauce and the remaining butter. When melted and boiling, pour over the potatoes, cover with foil and bake with the lamb for 1 hr.
  • Uncover both the lamb and the hotpot, and cook for 45 mins more until the potatoes are golden and cooked all the way through. Allow the lamb to rest for 15 mins before carving. Leave the potatoes in the oven (covered if starting to brown too much) until ready to serve.
  • Drain the fat from the lamb's roasting tin, reserving the juices. Put the tin on the heat and stir in the remaining flour. Pour in 450ml boiling water or stock and stir until thickened to a gravy. Cut the hotpot into 8 and lift onto warmed plates. Carve the lamb into thick slices and place on top, then spoon round a little gravy. Serve with the green beans and spinach - add a little grated nutmeg to the spinach, if you like.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 4-5-pound boneless lamb shoulder
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 mandarin oranges or tangerines, unpeeled, thinly sliced into rounds
1 cup Taggiasca or other fruity, brine-cured black olives, pitted, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh savory or rosemary
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups beef stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
1 cup tomato purée

Steps:

  • Holding knife parallel to work surface, cut lamb lengthwise, following seam where bone was removed and stopping about 1/2" before you get all the way through. Open lamb like a book and season all over with salt and pepper. Close, wrap tightly in plastic, and chill at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Open lamb and arrange garlic on bottom half, leaving a 1" border. Top with orange slices and olives. Sprinkle with savory and red pepper flakes. Close lamb and tie at 1" intervals with kitchen twine.
  • Place lamb on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until nicely browned, 30-40 minutes. Remove lamb from oven.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Carefully transfer lamb to a large heavy ovenproof pot and add stock, wine, and tomato purée. Cover and braise lamb, basting with braising liquid every 30 minutes, until golden brown and fork-tender, 2 1/2-3 hours. Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let rest at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with braising liquid.
  • DO AHEAD: Lamb can be seasoned 1 day ahead; keep chilled. Lamb can be braised 2 days ahead; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Lamb: Select a cut that is suitable for braising, such as the shoulder, leg, or neck. These cuts have a good amount of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and results in tender meat.
  • Brown the Lamb: Browning the lamb before braising adds flavor and color to the dish. You can do this in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your pot roast. Some popular choices include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, and garlic.
  • Add Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices add depth of flavor to the pot roast. Some classic choices include rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Braise the Lamb Slowly: Braising is a low and slow cooking method that allows the meat to become tender and fall apart. Cook the lamb for at least 2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve with a Side Dish: Pot roast of lamb is a hearty and flavorful dish that can be served with a variety of side dishes. Some popular choices include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

Pot roast of lamb is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pot roast turns out tender, flavorful, and juicy. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give pot roast of lamb a try.
