LEMON-ROSEMARY ROAST LEG OF LAMB



Lemon-Rosemary Roast Leg of Lamb image

We've taken the classic approach of studding the lamb with garlic and coating in a generously seasoned rub. Giving it time to marinate is the key, then roast for a crispy exterior and tender, juicy inside.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 6 1/2- to 8-pound bone-in leg of lamb
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Trim the excess fat from the lamb, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch layer of fat. Using a sharp knife, make small slits, about 1/2 inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart, all over the surface of the lamb. Fill each slit with a slice of garlic.
  • Grate the lemon zest into a small bowl (reserve the lemon). Add the rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. Rub the mixture all over the lamb. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the lamb from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature about 1 hour before roasting. Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Set a rack in a roasting pan and set the lamb fat-side up on the rack. Cut the reserved lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the lamb; drizzle with the olive oil and rub all over to coat. Add the lemon halves to the pan. Roast until the fat on the lamb starts to sizzle, about 20 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ F and continue roasting the lamb until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130˚ F for medium rare to medium, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes more. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before carving.

CITRUS MARINATED LEG OF LAMB



Citrus Marinated Leg of Lamb image

Another item I made especially for my husband for Father's Day. One of his favorite items to eat, although I do not make it too often, because of the cost. Weighing in at almost 9 pounds, and costing $6.49 per pound, can become quite an expensive meal. But it was better than a few racks of lamb at $18.00 per pound, plus I got a...

Time 14h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 leg of lamb, boned 6-8 3/4 pounds
CITRUS MARINADE
1/2 c lemon juice
1 c orange juice
2 c white wine
3 Tbsp penzey's bavarian seasoning(a blend of rosemary,garlic, thyme,bay leaves, sage & crushed brown mustard)
3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped fine
1/2 c olive oil
6 clove garlic minced plus 1 tbs. black pepper
FOR THE LEG O LAMB
2 Tbsp steak seasoning ( more or less depending on size of roast)
1 Tbsp garlic powder
10-12 clove garlic cut into slivers
1/3 c olive oil or non stick cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium size bowl add all of the marinade ingredients together and pulse with a submersion blender , food processor or blender, till blended, and somewhat emulsified. Then add roast to a large gallon bag, add the marinade, and try to coat the entire roast. Close if possible. Then put in a second gallon bag in case there are leaks and place in a large bowl. Marinade over night. Turn a few times to assure all of roast is being marinated. Remove from refrigerator at least 1 to a hour and a half before ready to roast in oven. This allows the meat to come to room temperature, so as not to prolong the cooking time. Pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • 2. While roast is resting. Take the small tip part of a sharp knife and make little deep holes into the roast,you may need to wiggle tip of knife around a bit to get garlic cloves to fit. Do this over the entire surface of the roast.If possible work pieces of garlic into the crevices where lamb has been tied together with string.
  • 3. Now mix the steak seasoning with the garlic powder in a small bowl, and sprinkle liberally over the entire surface of the roast, both top and bottom. now drizzle with the olive oil or spray liberally with the non stick cooking spray. Spray meat rack with cooking spray, and set in large roasting pan. Now add roast to rack, and place in preheated 450 degree F. oven. Allow to roast in oven for 20 minutes.
  • 4. Now reduce temperature to 325 degrees F. and allow roast to cook until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. for medium rare. Check after 1 hour and 45 minutes. Keep in mind temperature will rise at least about 10 degrees after removing from oven.Each time you open the oven door you loose heat, so minimize how often you open the oven door.
  • 5. During last 15 minutes of cooking. Brush top of roast with a combination of about one half cup of Mint jelly mixed with 2 Tablespoons of white wine. Brush over surface of lamb. Garnish with lemon Halves and sprigs of Rosemary or parsley if desired.
  • 6. Temperatures for meat, Rare 135 Degrees F. Medium Rare145 Degrees F. Medium 160 degrees, Well done 170 degrees F. Allow roast to stand at least 10 minutes before carving. I use an electric knife, for nice even slices.
  • 7. Note if the roast has a bone in it it will take longer to cook. If the bone has been removed, please make sure it has been tied with string for even cooking. Your roast will depend on the size as to when it is cooked to your taste, the larger the roast the longer it will take, if you put it in the oven cold it will take longer to cook also. My inspiration for this recipe came from simply Recipes web site and Start cooking, I made changes but they were my inspiration for this recipe. My husband was very pleased. It is time consuming but worth the efforts.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH ORANGE, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC



Roast Leg of Lamb With Orange, Rosemary and Garlic image

I don't get to eat lamb very often, so whenever I get my hands on a leg of lamb, my mouth starts watering. Lamb is one of those meats that can be very dry or very fatty, but this recipe results in juicy, tender and flavoursome results, every time. I always use a leg with the bone in, but there's no reason why you couldn't use a boneless leg instead. Cooking to 130F and then leaving, well covered, while you make the gravy will give you lamb that's cooked quite well at the thin end, and medium-rare (juicy and *slightly* pink) in the middle of the thickest part. If you prefer yours done differently, adjust your temperature accordingly. Don't forget that the temperature continues to rise while it rests.

Provided by Snowbunny Andorra

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 leg of lamb
1 unwaxed orange
1 bulb of garlic
1 large handful of fresh rosemary sprig
1 large glug olive oil
200 ml water
200 ml orange juice
200 ml red wine
1 lamb stock cube
salt, to season

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Rinse the lamb and pat dry with kitchen towels.
  • Peel the orange layer of rind from the orange, into strips about 2cm by 1cm.
  • Cut a few of the garlic cloves lengthways into batons about 2mm across.
  • Take a strip of orange peel, wrap it around a couple of the garlic batons and a few rosemary leaves. With a very sharp knife, make a deep whole in the lamb and push the parcel into the meat, deep enough so that you can't see it. (Don't be afraid here - the deeper it goes, the more the flavours will infuse).
  • Repeat all over the lamb until you've used all the orange peel. Don't forget the underneath.
  • Allow to rest for about an hour.
  • With the flat of a knife, bash the remaining garlic cloves (unpeeled) and place them in the bottom of a roasting tray. Lay the remaining rosemary sprigs on top, then lay the lamb on these.
  • Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juices and flesh over the lamb, rubbing it in, and add the extra orange juice to the pan.
  • Pour over a good glug of olive oil, and season well with salt.
  • Place, uncovered, in the oven and cook for 20mins.
  • Reduce the temperature to about 350F and put a temperature probe into the thickest part of the lamb.
  • Check occasionally and, if required, add a little water to the pan.
  • Once the internal temperature reaches 130F, remove the lamb from the oven, put on a warmed plate and cover well, with foil and *plenty* of tea towels. Set aside.
  • Put the roasting tray on the hob, over a medium heat, and add the red wine and stock cube. You may need to add more water here, depending on how much has evaporated in the oven.
  • Reduce until thickened to a gravy consistency. Serve over your lamb, accompanied with roast potatoes and mint sauce.
