Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for about 1 hour longer for medium-rare, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers about 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (be careful that the thermometer does not touch the bone.) Remove lamb from pan and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.

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.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH GARLIC, LEMON, AND OREGANO



Roasted Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Oregano image

For perfect Roasted Potatoes with Garlic, Lemon, and Oregano there is no need to peel them, but I suggest that you halve them, because they taste best when they can absorb more sauce.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup beef stock or chicken stock
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place the potatoes in a single layer in a 13-x-9-inch baking dish and pour the oil over them. Add the garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat with the oil.
  • Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. Add the stock, toss and bake for 10 minutes more. Add the lemon juice, toss and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the potatoes are cooked through. If you like, preheat the broiler and broil the potatoes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Sprinkle with the fresh oregano and serve at once.
  • Variation:
  • Dissolve 1 tablespoon tomato paste in the stock, and reduce the amount of lemon juice to taste. Substitute Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for the black pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Lamb: For this recipe, a leg of lamb or shoulder roast is ideal. Look for meat that is evenly marbled with fat, as this will help keep it moist during cooking.
  • Marinate the Lamb: Marinating the lamb overnight in a mixture of garlic, oregano, olive oil, and lemon juice helps infuse it with flavor and tenderize it.
  • Roast Lamb at High Temperature Initially: This helps to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). For medium, cook to 145°F (63°C). For well-done, cook to 160°F (71°C).
  • Let the Lamb Rest Before Carving: Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This roasted lamb recipe with garlic and oregano is a flavorful and impressive dish that is perfect for special occasions or a delightful weekend meal. With its crispy crust, tender interior, and aromatic herbs, this lamb roast is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Enjoy this delicious and satisfying dish as a centerpiece of your next gathering.
