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.

Welsh Five Minute Potatoes image

Tatws Pum Munud is a traditional potato and bacon dish. It used to be served as the main dish, but now it is usually a side.

Provided by threeovens

Categories     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 small white potatoes
6 slices bacon
1 cup chicken stock
1 onion, finely chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the potatoes, then place in a bowl of water to prevent browning until needed.
  • Brown bacon in a large skillet over medium heat; remove and set aside.
  • Add stock, onions, and potatoes (not the water) to the pan and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then top with the bacon to reheat.
  • Plate, leaving bacon on top.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut lamb or beef stew meat.
  • If you don't have a Welsh oven, you can use a Dutch oven or a large pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Make sure the potatoes are submerged in the liquid. If they're not, they won't cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you're using a smaller pot, you may need to cook the potatoes in batches.
  • Cook the potatoes until they're tender and the meat is cooked through. This usually takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Serve the potatoes and meat with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Welsh oven potatoes with lamb or beef are a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. The potatoes are tender and flavorful, and the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. This dish is also very easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover lamb or beef. So next time you're looking for a hearty and delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
