Time 2h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large unpeeled garlic cloves, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (6-pound) boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and tied
4 to 5 pounds small unpeeled potatoes (16 to 20 potatoes)
2 tablespoons good olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven so the lamb will sit in the middle of the oven.
  • Peel 6 of the cloves of garlic and place them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and butter. Process until the garlic and rosemary are finely minced. Thoroughly coat the top and sides of the lamb with the rosemary mixture. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Toss the potatoes and remaining unpeeled garlic in a bowl with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place the lamb on top of the potatoes. Roast for 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees F and roast for another 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until a meat thermometer registers 130 to 135 degrees F for medium-rare. Place the lamb on a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve with the potatoes.

HERB-CRUSTED LEG OF LAMB WITH RED WINE GRAVY



Herb-crusted leg of lamb with red wine gravy image

Thanks to a breadcrumb coating made with parsley, mint, rosemary and garlic, this roast joint is a cut above the rest

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Main course

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ¼kg leg of lamb
3 small garlic cloves , sliced
2 onions , cut into chunks
1 carrot , cut into chunks
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
175g white breadcrumb (a few days old is best)
small bunch parsley , finely chopped
small bunch mint , finely chopped
5 rosemary sprigs, leaves finely chopped
2 fat garlic cloves , crushed
3 ½ tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp plain flour
400ml red wine
1l lamb or beef stock
1-2 tsp Dijon mustard
knob of butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Use a sharp knife to make little slits all over the lamb, then insert a slice of garlic into each hole. Tip the onions and carrot into a large flameproof roasting tin, then place the lamb on top and season. Pour 250ml water into the base of the tin and roast in the oven for 30 mins.
  • Meanwhile, make the crust by mixing together all the ingredients and seasoning well. Remove the lamb from the oven and turn the heat down to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Brush the lamb all over with the mustard, then pack on the crust in a thick layer - don't worry if any falls in the tin, this will be used in the gravy later (you probably won't use the entire crust, so set aside what's left for later). Return the lamb to the oven and cook for a further 1 hr 30 mins. Check the lamb during cooking and add more water to the base of the tin if it dries out.
  • Remove the lamb from the tin, cover lightly with foil and leave to rest for 30-40 mins - if covered too tightly, the crust will go soggy.
  • To make the gravy, put the roasting tin with the vegetables still in it directly on the heat and whisk in the flour. Cook for 1 min, then add the wine, scraping any flour from the bottom of the tin. Let it bubble for 1 min, then pour in the stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 10-15 mins until thickened, stirring in a little of the reserved crust for a thicker gravy. Strain the gravy through a sieve into a pan, discarding the vegetables left in the sieve. Add mustard to taste and stir through the butter. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Show off your cooking skills with this restaurant-style cut of lamb served on a butter bean mash

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

50g fresh white breadcrumb or white bread, torn into small pieces
2 tbsp roughly chopped parsley
2 tbsp thyme leaf
2 tbsp rosemary leaves, picked from sprigs
zest 1 lemon
25g grated parmesan
2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for drizzling
2 x 8-bone racks of lamb , well trimmed (see 'Try', below)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
250g spinach leaves
400g can butter bean , drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove , chopped
6 anchovy fillets
large rosemary sprig, leaves chopped
juice ½ lemon
8 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil , the best quality you can afford

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the breadcrumbs, herbs, zest and Parmesan into a food processor with 1 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning. Blitz until everything is finely chopped.
  • Heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof frying pan. Season the lamb, then brown it well on all sides and turn off the heat. Turn the racks so that they are fat-side up, and brush liberally with the mustard (Step 1, above). Pack over the herb crust (Step 2), drizzle with a bit more oil, and roast for 25 mins until the crust is golden and the lamb is cooked - this will produce lamb that is pink in the middle but cooked all the way through. If you like your lamb rarer, roast for only 20 mins; if you like it more done, give it 5 mins more. Put the lamb on a board to rest.
  • While the lamb is cooking, blitz the beans with the garlic, anchovies, rosemary, lemon juice, some seasoning and 7 tbsp olive oil (or enough to make it a smooth purée. Tip into a saucepan to gently heat.
  • Wilt the spinach in the remaining olive oil in another frying pan. Once the lamb has rested, carefully carve it into chops (Step 3), trying to keep the crust intact. Divide the warm bean purée between 4 plates, add a small mound of spinach, then arrange 3 lamb chops on top of each portion. Sprinkle with stray crumbs and drizzle with a little olive oil.

ROASTED LAMB LOINS WITH MUSTARD-HERB CRUST



ROASTED LAMB LOINS WITH MUSTARD-HERB CRUST image

Categories     Lamb     Roast

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup chopped scallions (white and light-green parts only; from about 8­ scallions)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbs. chopped fresh mint
1 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 boneless single lamb loin roasts (12 ­to 14­ oz. each), trimmed
1/2 cup panko
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. honey

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F. Arrange a flat roasting rack over a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet. Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 20 seconds. Add the scallions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mint and parsley and cook, stirring, for another few seconds. Remove from the heat and transfer to a medium bowl. Pat the lamb loins dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 Tbs. oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Cook the lamb, turning once, until two sides are nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side. (Since the loins are so small, sear only the top and bottom; you don't need to bother with the sides.) Transfer the lamb loins to the roasting rack on the baking sheet and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Stir the panko, mustard, and honey into the scallion mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the panko coating between the two loins, gently pressing it on so that it covers the top and comes partway down the sides. Roast the lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a loin registers 125°F to 130°F for medium rare, 15 to 20 minutes, or 130°F to 135°F for medium, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice the lamb 1/2 inch thick and serve; make sure to scoop up any crust that falls off the lamb and scatter it over each serving.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality lamb loins: Opt for lamb loins that are evenly marbled and have a pinkish-red color. Avoid any meat that appears dull or has excessive fat.
  • Trim excess fat: Before cooking, trim any excess fat from the lamb loins. This will help reduce shrinkage and ensure even cooking.
  • Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with delicious flavors. Allow the lamb to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  • Sear the lamb: Searing the lamb over high heat creates a flavorful crust and locks in the juices. Make sure your skillet or grill is very hot before adding the lamb, and sear for a few minutes per side until browned.
  • Roast the lamb: After searing, transfer the lamb to a roasting pan and continue cooking in a preheated oven until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking. The internal temperature should read 145°F for medium-rare, 155°F for medium, and 165°F for well-done.
  • Let the lamb rest: Once the lamb is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Roasted lamb loins with mustard-herb crust is an elegant and flavorful main course that is perfect for special occasions or a cozy dinner party. By following the tips and instructions provided in this recipe, you can create a succulent and tender lamb dish that will impress your guests. Serve it alongside roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Experiment with different herb combinations to create your own unique flavor profile, and don't forget to adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your lamb loins.
