ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH ORANGE, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC



Roast Leg of Lamb With Orange, Rosemary and Garlic image

I don't get to eat lamb very often, so whenever I get my hands on a leg of lamb, my mouth starts watering. Lamb is one of those meats that can be very dry or very fatty, but this recipe results in juicy, tender and flavoursome results, every time. I always use a leg with the bone in, but there's no reason why you couldn't use a boneless leg instead. Cooking to 130F and then leaving, well covered, while you make the gravy will give you lamb that's cooked quite well at the thin end, and medium-rare (juicy and *slightly* pink) in the middle of the thickest part. If you prefer yours done differently, adjust your temperature accordingly. Don't forget that the temperature continues to rise while it rests.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 leg of lamb
1 unwaxed orange
1 bulb of garlic
1 large handful of fresh rosemary sprig
1 large glug olive oil
200 ml water
200 ml orange juice
200 ml red wine
1 lamb stock cube
salt, to season

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Rinse the lamb and pat dry with kitchen towels.
  • Peel the orange layer of rind from the orange, into strips about 2cm by 1cm.
  • Cut a few of the garlic cloves lengthways into batons about 2mm across.
  • Take a strip of orange peel, wrap it around a couple of the garlic batons and a few rosemary leaves. With a very sharp knife, make a deep whole in the lamb and push the parcel into the meat, deep enough so that you can't see it. (Don't be afraid here - the deeper it goes, the more the flavours will infuse).
  • Repeat all over the lamb until you've used all the orange peel. Don't forget the underneath.
  • Allow to rest for about an hour.
  • With the flat of a knife, bash the remaining garlic cloves (unpeeled) and place them in the bottom of a roasting tray. Lay the remaining rosemary sprigs on top, then lay the lamb on these.
  • Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juices and flesh over the lamb, rubbing it in, and add the extra orange juice to the pan.
  • Pour over a good glug of olive oil, and season well with salt.
  • Place, uncovered, in the oven and cook for 20mins.
  • Reduce the temperature to about 350F and put a temperature probe into the thickest part of the lamb.
  • Check occasionally and, if required, add a little water to the pan.
  • Once the internal temperature reaches 130F, remove the lamb from the oven, put on a warmed plate and cover well, with foil and *plenty* of tea towels. Set aside.
  • Put the roasting tray on the hob, over a medium heat, and add the red wine and stock cube. You may need to add more water here, depending on how much has evaporated in the oven.
  • Reduce until thickened to a gravy consistency. Serve over your lamb, accompanied with roast potatoes and mint sauce.

LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY



Lamb Chops with Garlic and Rosemary image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings (1/2 cup sauce)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 (6-ounce) loin lamb chops, fat trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 cup chicken broth, low-sodium canned
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the lamb chops well and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Lay chops in the pan and cook, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sides of the lamb registers 125 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. After cooking the lamb on each side, stand it up on it's edges to brown the sides as well, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat if needed so the browned bits remaining in the pan don't burn. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside in a warm place.
  • Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons fat from the skillet. Add the garlic and cook, tilting the skillet to keep the garlic submerged in the fat, and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine and rosemary, stirring up browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and simmer over high heat until syrupy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cook until reduced by about half, another 5 to 6 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and briskly whisk in the butter. When the butter has incorporated, whisk in the mustard and heavy cream. Season with additional salt and pepper.
  • Serve 2 chops per person with the sauce.

GREEK ROAST LAMB AND POTATOES



Greek Roast Lamb and Potatoes image

There's nothing like Greek roast lamb and potatoes. In Greece, meat (lamb, beef, chicken) and potatoes in the oven is an ubiquitous dish throughout the winter. Upon my most recent visit to Athens, my aunt let me in on a secret that takes this traditional roast lamb to another level. Instead of the usual lemon juice, she said, add the juice of one orange. I tried this upon my return home and it is absolutely delicious! It may be awhile before I go back to lemons -- and this dish is as delicious as it is simple.

Categories     Leg of Lamb

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large orange, juiced
3 tablespoons brown mustard, or more to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
10 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1 (3 pound) half leg of lamb, bone-in
5 cloves garlic

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, mustard, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir the potatoes into the bowl to coat with orange juice mixture. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, and place them into a large roasting pan.
  • Cut slits into the lamb meat, and stuff the garlic cloves into the slits. Rub remaining orange juice mixture from bowl all over the lamb, and place the lamb on top of the potatoes in the roasting pan. If there's any remaining orange juice mixture, pour it over the lamb.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the lamb is cooked to medium, about 1 hour. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Check every 30 minutes while roasting, and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot water if you find the potatoes are drying out. If the lamb finishes cooking before the potatoes, remove the lamb to a cutting board or serving platter and cover with foil while the potatoes continue to bake in the oven.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Lamb Chops: Select high-quality lamb chops from a reputable butcher or grocery store. Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat, as this will help keep them moist during cooking.
  • Preparing the Pesto Rub: Use fresh herbs for the pesto rub whenever possible. This will give it a more vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Seasoning the Lamb Chops: Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper before applying the pesto rub. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Roasting the Lamb Chops: Roast the lamb chops in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
  • Resting the Lamb Chops: After roasting, let the lamb chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Roasted lamb chops with orange-garlic-rosemary pesto rub is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of tender lamb, flavorful pesto, and citrusy orange creates a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
