MYRA WALDO'S SWEDISH LAMB



Myra Waldo's Swedish Lamb image

Craig Claiborne brought this marvelous dinner-party centerpiece to The Times in 1958, after securing it from Myra Waldo, a globetrotting food and travel writer who edited "The Complete Round-the-World Cookbook," featuring recipes gathered by Pan American Airways. Mr. Claiborne recommended this one in a column in the newspaper four years later: a leg of lamb roasted above carrots and onions, broth, hot coffee, cream and a sprinkling of sugar. Really! The result on the plate is remarkable in the way the richness of the sauce mingles with the big taste of the lamb. All we needed to do to improve it was exchange the beef broth Claiborne used (too tinny in flavor) for some of the low-sodium chicken variety. (Sam Sifton)

LAMMSTEK - SWEDISH ROAST LEG OF LAMB



Lammstek - Swedish Roast Leg of Lamb image

Ok, Cookgirl - You asked for it. ... Lamb in Iceland is unlike any other I've ever tasted. While it's the "staple meat" of our country, it has such a wonderful flavor & texture that's impossible to describe adequately. Siggi & I usually grill a leg of lamb or oven roast it after trimming all excess fat & seasoning w/garlic, rosemary and seasoning salt. This unique recipe takes a different approach & is from my "Classic Scandinavian Cooking" cookbook by Nika Hazelton. The name says it all & the intro is brief. "The coffee, provided it is not overly strong, gives an excellent color to the meat & a subtle taste to the gravy."

EASY ROAST LEG OF LAMB



Easy roast leg of lamb image

Roast a leg of lamb for a family feast. It's ideal served with roasties and your favourite spring vegetables for an Easter dinner or Sunday roast

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2kg-2.5kg leg of lamb
small bunch rosemary, cut into 2cm short sprigs
4-5 garlic cloves, finely sliced
4-6 brown anchovy fillets, chopped (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, thickly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Remove all packaging from the lamb and keep a note of the weight to calculate the roasting time. Make incisions into the lamb using a small sharp knife, at an angle, about 5cm into the meat. Making the holes at an angle will mean more of the meat is flavoured, and the flavourings will be less tempted to be pushed out when roasting.
  • Insert a short sprig of rosemary, a garlic slice and a small piece of anchovy (if using) into each of the holes, pressing in well with your finger. Season the meat all over with salt and pepper, then rub the lamb all over with the olive oil. Transfer to a roasting tin, sat on the onion slices. Roast for 20 mins.
  • Lower the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and cook for another 15-20 mins per 500g (1 hr - 1 hr 20 mins for 2kg leg) depending on how pink you like your lamb. You can also check the internal temperature of the lamb if you prefer pinker meat - it will be 55C for medium (pink) and 70C for well done.
  • Cover with foil and rest for 15 mins before carving. Save the tray juices and onion slices to make gravy.
