FOREVER ROASTED LAMB WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Make the Fennel Spice Rub: Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat. Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly. When light brown and fragrant, stir in the salt and pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. (They must be cool before grinding, or they will gum up the blades.)
• Pour the seeds into a blender or spice mill and blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze. (Makes about 1 1/4 cups.)

Uncover and saute until the onions are very soft and the pan is dry again, about 2 minutes.

ROASTED LEG OF LAMB WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 200C. Using a sharp paring knife, make 18 to 20 slits all over the lamb. Insert one or two slices of garlic, followed by small sprigs of rosemary into each slit. 2. Season with salt and black pepper. Roast the lamb for 60 to 90 minutes depending on your preferred doneness. To determine doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the lamb to check its internal temperature. 120 to 130F for rare, 130 to 140F for medium rare, 140 to 150 for medium and 150 to 165F for well done. As there will be carryover cooking, remove your lamb 5 to 10 degrees before your desired internal temperature. Wrap it in foil and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. 3. While the lamb is resting, make the sauce. Transfer leftover lamb juices from the roasting tin to a sauce pan. Allow it to boil and reduce. Pour in white wine and when the alcohol has evaporated, add in chicken stock. Bring it to a boil again and reduce by half till thick and flavorful. Sieve the mixture and stir in mustard. 4. For roasted summer vegetables, place potatoes in a pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 10 minutes or until a skewer can easily poke through the potatoes. Drain and cover pot with a lid. Fluff the potatoes by shaking the pot vigorously for a few times. Transfer to a baking sheet. Cut vegetables into small pieces of the same size and add them onto the baking sheet along with the potatoes. Add in whole garlic and rosemary leaves. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle a generous glug of olive oil over the vegetables and roast it for 50 minutes at 200C. Lastly, drizzle honey onto roasted vegetables and further bake for another 10 minutes till crisp, brown and slightly glossy. 5.

INCREDIBLE ROASTED SHOULDER OF LAMB WITH SMASHED VEGETABLES AND GREENS

Steps:

• For the lamb:
• Preheat your oven to full whack, (450 to 500 degrees F).
• Slash the fat side of the lamb all over with a sharp knife. Lay half the sprigs of rosemary and half the garlic cloves on the bottom of a high-sided roasting pan, rub the lamb all over with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place it in the pan on top of the rosemary and garlic, and put the rest of the rosemary and garlic on top of the lamb. Tightly cover the tray with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Turn the oven down immediately to 325 degrees F and cook for 4 hours - it's done if you can pull the meat apart easily with 2 forks.
• For the vegetables:
• When the lamb is nearly cooked, put thepotatoes, carrots and rutabaga into a large pot of boiling salted water and boil hard for 20 minutes or so until you can slide a knife into the rutabaga easily. Drain and allow to steam dry, then smash them up in the pan with most of the butter. If you prefer a smooth texture, add some cooking water. Spoon into a bowl, cover with foil and keep warm over a pan of simmering water.;
• For the sauce:
• Remove the lamb from the oven and place it on a chopping board. Cover it with foil, then a kitchen towel, and leave it to rest. Put a large pan of salted water on to boil for the greens. Pour away most of the fat from the roasting pan, discarding any bits of rosemary. Put the pan on the stovetop over medium heat and mix in the flour. Add the stock, stirring and scraping all the sticky goodness off the bottom of the pan. You won't need gallons of gravy, just a couple of flavorsome spoonfuls for each serving. Add the capers, turn the heat down and simmer for a few minutes.
• Finely chop the mint and add it to the sauce with the red wine vinegar at the last minute then pour into a pitcher. Add the greens and stalks to the pan of fast-boiling salted water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes to just soften them. Drain and toss with a knob of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place everything in the middle of the table, and shred the lamb in front of your guests. Absolutely delish!
