MUSTARD HERB ROASTED LAMB BREAST RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Mustard Herb Roasted Lamb Breast Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by orchidgal

Number Of Ingredients 12

Zest of 1 lemon
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 Tbs. Herbes de Provence
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more, to taste
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper, plus more, to taste
3 Tbs. Dijon mustard
3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, peeled and quartered
4 lb. lamb breast
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup turkey stock
2 Tbs. unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Mix together the lemon zest, garlic, Herbes de Provence, salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, and two tablespoons olive oil. Quarter the shallot and toss in a bit of the mustard sauce and some extra olive oil. Cut the meat into portion sizes. You will need to cut between the rib bones. Place the meat on a rack in a baking dish order to keep the meat up off the bottom of the pan. Add the quartered shallot to the pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 2 -1/2 to 3 hours, or until fork-tender. Place the meat on a platter, covered with foil and a towel and let it rest for 20 minutes while working on the sauce. Heat the turkey stock, white wine and the drippings (not fat) from the lamb over medium-high heat for a few minutes before adding 2 tablespoons butter. Pour over the meat and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: For this recipe, a boneless lamb breast is ideal. It's a flavorful and affordable cut that's perfect for roasting.
  • Season the lamb well: A good rub of salt, pepper, and herbs will help to enhance the lamb's natural flavor.
  • Roast the lamb at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and juicy interior.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the lamb with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Roasted lamb breast is a delicious and versatile dish that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're cooking for a special dinner party or a casual weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook lamb, give this recipe a try.
