Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 pounds fennel bulb, cut into wedges through the root
1 head garlic, broken into cloves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (5 to 7-pound) leg of lamb, boned
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1-ounce dried porcini mushrooms, ground in a spice grinder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place a large roasting tray into the oven to heat it up. When hot remove from oven and add a drizzle of olive oil. Toss potatoes, fennel and garlic onto hot sheet tray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place into oven on a lower rack.
  • Take the boneless leg of lamb and open it up. Season inside with olive oil, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Rub with garlic and thyme then make a cut down the middle, separating the lamb into 2 pieces where the muscles naturally separate. Roll each piece up into a small roast and secure with kitchen twine. Rub the outside with olive oil and season with porcini powder, salt and pepper.
  • Set a large pan over high heat and add a 2-count of olive oil. Sear meat, turning the lamb to brown evenly all over. Once browned transfer the roasts to the oven and place directly on a rack above the fennel and potatoes.
  • Roast for 35 to 40 minutes until lamb is medium-rare. Rest meat for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with roasted potatoes and fennel.
