GARLIC AND HERB LEG OF LAMB WITH POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY



Garlic And Herb Leg Of Lamb With Potatoes Recipe by Tasty image

Cooking a melts-in-your-mouth lamb recipe doesn't need to be complicated. This leg of lamb is rubbed with a lemony, garlic-herb-mustard paste before being roasted over a pan of white wine and potatoes. The potatoes soak up all the juices while the lamb gets charred on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. Garnish with fresh rosemary and thyme before serving it as the centerpiece of a dinner you'll get endless compliments on.

Provided by Chris Salicrup

Categories     Dinner

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 lb bone-in lamb roast with fat cap
12 cloves garlic, divided
½ cup olive oil
⅓ cup whole grain mustard, plus more for serving
1 lemon, juiced
10 sprigs fresh rosemary, stemmed and leaves finely chopped, plus whole sprigs for serving
10 sprigs fresh thyme, stemmed and leaves finely chopped, plus whole sprigs for serving
1 ½ tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
¾ cup dry white wine
2 ½ lb yukon gold potato, halved
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • 2-3 hours before roasting, prepare the lamb. Use a small, sharp knife to make 15 to 20 incisions, each about 2 inches (5 cm) deep, through the fat cap on top of the meat. Thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic and use your fingers to press the slices into the incisions.
  • In a blender, combine the remaining 9 garlic cloves, the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Blend until a paste forms.
  • Spread the paste evenly all over the lamb. Let marinate at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place the lamb on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and pour the wine into the bottom of the pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C).
  • Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in the roasting pan and place the lamb on the rack on top. Roast for 2 hours, tossing the potatoes and basting the lamb with the roasting liquid halfway through.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a platter, baste the lamb again with the remaining pan juices, and return the lamb to the oven. Continue to roast, basting often, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the leg reaches 130°F (for medium-rare), 45 minutes to 2 hours more, depending on thickness. (As a general rule, the lamb should roast 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare).
  • Transfer the lamb to a platter and set aside to rest for 20 minutes. While the lamb rests, return the potatoes to the roasting pan, season with flaky salt, and warm in the oven until just heated through, about 20 minutes. Return the potatoes to the serving platter.
  • Carve the lamb into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices and arrange on the platter with the potatoes, garnished with rosemary and thyme sprigs. Serve with whole grain mustard alongside.
  • Enjoy!

PROVENçAL LEG OF LAMB WITH POTATO GRATIN



Provençal Leg Of Lamb With Potato Gratin image

Provided by Patricia Wells

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield Eight to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds Idaho russet potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin
2 teaspoons salt, plus additional to taste
1 quart milk
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Handful fresh parsley, finely minced
6 large cloves garlic, finely minced
1 leg of lamb, bone in, about 6 to 7 pounds
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup very fine bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large saucepan, bring the potatoes, salt and milk to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally so the potatoes do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring from time to time, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Season with pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Combine the parsley and garlic and sprinkle half into a large oval gratin dish, measuring about 16 by 10 by 2 inches. Spoon the potato-and-milk mixture into the pan and sprinkle with the remaining parsley and garlic mixture.
  • Carefully trim the fat from the lamb. Season with salt and pepper and place the lamb on top of the potatoes. Roast, uncovered, about one hour, or from eight to 10 minutes per pound. Do not turn the lamb.
  • Combine the ingredients for the herb crust. After the lamb has been roasting for about 45 minutes, sprinkle the meat with the herb, garlic and bread-crumb mixture. Remove from the oven and let sit 20 minutes before serving.
  • To serve, carve the lamb into thin slices and arrange on warmed dinner plates or on a serving platter, with the potatoes alongside.

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 4h

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large onion, peeled and sliced
6 to 8 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme, bruised
6 to 8 sprigs fresh oregano, bruised
1 bottle dry white wine
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 5-to-6-pound leg of lamb
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the onion, garlic, herbs, wine and olive oil in a shallow dish large enough to hold the lamb. Add the lamb and rub the mixture over it. Marinate in a cool place for 1 to 2 hours, turning frequently. Remove from the marinade about 2 hours before serving. Pat dry and bring to room temperature. Take the thyme, oregano and garlic out of the marinade. Remove the leaves from the thyme and oregano and mince with the garlic. Place in a small bowl. Stir in the salt, pepper and enough marinade to make a stiff paste.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the lamb on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Rub the paste all over the lamb. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Roast for 15 minutes more. Turn the lamb over. Roast for 30 minutes. Turn again and roast for 25 minutes longer. The lamb will be rare. Remove from the oven. Let it rest for 15 minutes. Carve, reserving the juices. Place on warmed serving plates. Drizzle with the juices. Serve with the beans and greens.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb: A leg of lamb is a good choice for roasting because it is a large, flavorful cut of meat. Look for a leg of lamb that is well-marbled, as this will help to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Season the lamb well: Before roasting, season the lamb with a mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage, to taste.
  • Roast the lamb at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside moist and juicy. Roast the lamb for about 20 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the lamb rest before carving: After roasting, let the lamb rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the lamb with a variety of sides: Roasted lamb can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or roasted potatoes. You can also serve the lamb with a sauce, such as a mint sauce or a red wine sauce.
