Steps:
- First, make the pesto. Put all the ingredients (except the olive oil and lemon juice) and a pinch of salt into the small bowl of a food processor. Pulse until very finely chopped. While the processor is on, drizzle the olive oil in to make a paste. Tip the pesto into a small bowl and stir in the lemon juice.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the scored lamb leg in a large roasting tin and use half the pesto to generously coat the skin and flesh, pressing it between all the cracks for extra juiciness. Put the rest of the pesto in the fridge, covered with cling film, and remove just before serving.
- Roast the lamb for 1 hr 45 mins. Check during cooking that it's not drying out - if the base of the roasting tin starts to look dry, spread a little more pesto over the top of the lamb.
- Remove the lamb from the tin, cover with foil and leave to rest for 30-40 mins before serving on lemon slices and fresh garden herbs, if you like. Carve at the table and serve with the remaining pesto to drizzle over.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.;
- To french the racks of lamb:
- Make a cut on the fat side of the ribs, perpendicular to them, about 2 1/2-inches down from the rib ends. Cut through the fat down to the rib bones. Turn the rack on end, with the bones facing up and push a knife through the flesh between each rib, using the initial cut as a guide for the knife. Cut down the side of each rib to remove the excess fat in between each rib. Using strong kitchen twine, wrap the twine around each rib at the base, nearest the meat and pull to remove all of the remaining fat and sinew from the rib bone. Bend each rack into a semicircle (meat side in and fat side out) and using kitchen twine tie them together at the base and center, in order to hold the racks together. The rib ends should be pushed outward to create the look of a crown. Rub the lamb with the olive oil. Combine the salt, pepper, garlic, thyme and coriander and press all over the lamb. Place the roast in a Bundt pan with the center of the pan coming up through the middle of the roast. Place on the middle rack of the oven and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F. This is approximately 8 to 12 minutes per pound. Remove from the oven, transfer the roast to a rack, cover with aluminum foil and let the meat rest for 20 minutes. While the meat is resting add the sherry vinegar, mustard and rosemary to the juices that accumulated in the Bundt pan while cooking. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed. Cut the string away from the roast and place cooked stuffing, rice or barley in the center if desired. Serve the warm sauce with the roast.;
CROWN ROAST OF LAMB
I saw this on Alton Brown's Good Eats Show and got really excited, as we are having a dinner soon with Crown Roast of Lamb. I have adapted it slightly for our tastes. Cooking time includes rest time.

CROWN ROAST OF LAMB
The crown rib roast is one of the most festive and serviceable cuts of meat, beautifully proportioned and wieldy, with luscious, lean red meat at the chop end tapering off into rustic, fatty and crispy rib bits at the bone end, with a built-in handle to facilitate gnawing. Domestic lamb is more than suitable for crown roast and with its slightly firmer texture seems to stand up better on the plate than the incredibly supple lamb from Australia and New Zealand. The local lamb is also a good deal.

Steps:
- Place a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan in oven, and heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Lay racks side by side on a cutting board so concave rib side faces up, with rib tips pointing up as well. With a sharp knife, make a short, shallow incision (not more than 1/8-inch deep) in the flesh between each rib bone. With butcher's needle and twine, stitch the racks together where they meet.
- Lift racks by rib tips to stand upright, and shape them by hand so that the ends come together to form a crown. With the needle and twine, stitch the racks together.
- Drizzle olive oil over the inside and the outside of the crown roast, and massage it onto lamb. Shower crown roast with salt and pepper. Mix garlic and rosemary and press it thoroughly onto inside and outside of crown. Wrap each exposed rib tip with aluminum foil.
- Place crown meat-side down on a flat rack in roasting pan, and roast 35 to 40 minutes for rare; let rest uncovered 10 minutes. Remove foil and place paper frills on rib tips.
CROWN ROAST OF LAMB WITH SHALLOTS, MUSTARD AND MINT
Steps:
- To make lamb:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon mustard and 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary in bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place lamb in roasting pan. Rub all over with butter mixture. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. and continue roasting until thermometer inserted into lamb registers 140°F. for medium-rare, about 40 minutes. Transfer lamb to platter; let stand 15 minutes.
- Pour off fat from roasting pan and set pan aside. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over low heat. Add shallots and 1/2 teaspoon rosemary; sauté until shallots are tender, about 5 minutes. Add wine to roasting pan and bring to boil over high heat, scraping up any browned bits. Add wine to skillet. Add stock; boil until slightly thickened, about 6 minutes. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon mustard and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon vegetables in center of and around roast. Serve, cutting lamb into chops and spooning sauce over.
- To make spring vegetables:
- Place potatoes in vegetable steamer and steam 10 minutes. Add carrots and onions and steam until vegetables are almost tender, about 10 minutes longer. Add asparagus and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes more.
- Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add mint and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper and stir until vegetables are coated with butter.
CROWN ROAST OF LAMB
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Rub lamb well with salt and pepper to taste and cover ends of bones with foil.
- Put lamb in an oiled roasting pan and roast in middle of oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat inside the crown registers 130°F. to 135°F. for medium-rare meat. Transfer lamb to a platter and let stand, covered loosely, 15 minutes.
- While lamb is standing, spoon off excess fat from pan juices. Set pan over moderately high heat and add vinegar and wine. Deglaze pan, scraping up brown bits and boiling liquid until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add broth and bring to a boil.
- In a small bowl whisk arrowroot and water until smooth and add to boiling broth mixture, whisking. Simmer sauce, whisking, 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened, and season with salt and pepper. Keep sauce warm, covered.
- Remove foil from bones and spoon some rice into crown, serving remaining rice on side. Arrange glazed vegetables around roast and strain sauce through a fine sieve into a sauceboat. Garnish platter with mint sprigs and serve with jelly.

Steps:
- Take the lamb racks and score the fatty layer with a sharp knife, cutting at an angle twice, to create diamond shapes.
- Season well with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large frying pan on high heat and brown the fat layer on each rack for 30-60 seconds pressing down. The time will depend on how strong your heat is. Do this in batches if your pan isn't big enough.
- Leave both racks to one side to cool while you get all the other ingredients ready. Leave the frying pan as is, we'll be using it and the fat for the stuffing.
- Place the bread in a chopper and whizz to get breadcrumbs. Place in a large bowl.
- Either by hand or in a chopper, chop up the cranberries roughly, just 2 - 3 pulses will do, you want them fairly big and course. Tip them into the bowl with the bread.
- Chop up the onions next, they don't have to be superfine, coarse onions make for a better tasting stuffing. Place in the bowl.
- And finally, do the same with the sausages, in batches, if you have to. Chop to a semi coarse grind and place in the bowl.
- Add the sage, paprika, chilli flakes, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly using your hands.
- Remember the frying pan we browned the lamb racks in? Heat it again, over medium high heat. You only need about 1 tablespoon of oil, tip the rest out if you have too much.
- Fry the stuffing for about 3 minutes, stirring to ensure everything heats evenly. Leave aside until needed.
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C (390˚F).
- Thread your butcher's needle. Keep the kitchen string ready and scissors at hand.
- Take a sharp knife and cut little slits on the lower end of the lamb racks between each chop, on the meat side, not the fat side. The meat side will be on the outside and the slits allow the racks to bend and form a crown.
- Stand the 2 lamb racks on the baking tin you'll be using, with the ends touching each other.
- Sew each end of the lamb rack to the one next to it, as in the pictures. Be sure to thread through before thee last chop bone. This will stop the thread from being released when the meat naturally shrinks as it cooks. Do this for all thee ends, shaping the lamb racks into a circle as much as is possible, when you're doing the last 2.
- If you are not sewing the base, get your kitchen string and tie along the base of the crown, as tightly as you can. I've done both, to give you an idea. As the lamb cooks, it will shrink somewhat and the string will loosen, so bear this in mind, the tighter, the better.
- Tie another string halfway up the bones, to help keep the shape. **Sewing the base creates a better formed and sturdier crown, which means that you can also not bother with the unsightly string.
- If you like, you could tie the two end bones of each rack together, this can also help keep the round shape. Only if you are not tying the base.
- That's it. Pack the stuffing into the middle of the crown, I like to create a mound with it, but you can leave it flat, if you like.
- Depending on the size of your racks, you may have some spare stuffing. Shape them into little balls (ping pong balls size) and add them to the roasting tin 20 minutes from the end. OR, fry up your sprouts with it.
- Cover the ends of the bones with a little foil, to stop them burning.
- Roast in the oven for 30 minutes for medium, or 45 minutes for well done. Take the foil off the bones 10 minutes before the end of cooking time.
- When done, take the crown out of the oven and cover the whole thing with a large piece of foil, then a tea towel, and leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving as described above.

Steps:
- For the lamb: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, coriander, cumin and fennel.
- Drizzle the olive oil over both sides of the racks of lamb, then evenly apply the dry rub all over the lamb.
- Using a sharp knife, make cuts between each of the rib bones on the back sides of the racks to allow the straight racks to be flexible and formed into a crown.
- Tie the 2 racks together where they meet. Lift them so that the bare bones point upward and fashion them into a crown, then secure by tying twine around the bottom and midsection.
- Place the crown roast onto a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast until a thermometer inserted into the meat (avoid touching bone) registers 110 degrees F, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- For the pesto: Into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the mint, cilantro, almonds, salt, green onions, garlic and chile. Pulse, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary, until finely chopped. With the machine running, add 3/4 cup of the olive oil in a steady stream.
- Pour the pesto into a bowl. Add the remaining 3/4 cup olive oil and the lemon juice. Season to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside, or refrigerate (bring to room temperature 30 minutes prior to serving the lamb).
- Remove the lamb from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 500 degrees F.
- Place a sheet of foil over the bones to keep them from burning. Roast the lamb until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop reaches 125 degrees F for medium-rare or 135 degrees F for medium, an additional 10 minutes. Tent the lamb with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the twine and carve into chops; serve with pesto on the side.

- Make the marinade. In the bowl of a food processor, add the parsley, mint, onion garlic, spices, lemon juice and olive oil. Run processor until you have a smooth green marinade.
- Pound lamb. Place the lamb leg on a large cutting board, cover with heavy plastic wrap. Using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer or mallet like this one, pound lamb and make sure to even out any pieces that are too thick. But remember, the goal is NOT to achieve paper-thin lamb.
- Pat the lamb leg dry and sprinkle generously with salt on both sides. Place lamb in a large freezer bag and spread the marinade all over it. Zip the bag closed and work the marinade into the lamb to make sure every part of the lamb is well coated. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- Remove lamb from fridge and let sit in room temperature for 20 minutes. (To make the lamb easier to turn on the grill you can insert a couple of metal skewers through the lamb, crosswise)
