ROSEMARY AND GARLIC ROAST LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using your hands, rub the lamb all over with the lemon juice. Pat the garlic and rosemary evenly all over the surface of the meat. Season the meat with the salt and pepper and place the lamb in a roasting pan. Place the lamb in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for about 1 hour longer for medium-rare, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers about 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (be careful that the thermometer does not touch the bone.) Remove lamb from pan and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
• Position the roasting pan over your stove burners. Add mixed herbs and onions to pan, and stir to combine with pan drippings. Add chicken stock and wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any fond. Reduce over high heat until sauce consistency. Strain before serving, if desired. Slice lamb and serve with sauce drizzled over the top.

GARLIC ROASTED EYE OF LOIN OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Rub each eye of loin with oil. Rub in salt, pepper and thyme. Spread mashed garlic on loin and place it on broiler rack. Broil 3 or 4 inches from heat source for 5 minutes. Turn over meat and broil 5 minutes longer. Turn again and broil 3 to 5 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 135 degrees in center of meat.
• Cool lamb on a serving plate. It may be prepared 2 or 3 hours in advance. Cut into slices 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and serve, garnished with watercress. If meat is broiled just before serving, allow 20 minutes for juices to be reabsorbed before carving.

WHOLE BONELESS LAMB LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• On a large cutting surface, lay out lamb, cut side up so that it folds open. Sprinkle the inside with salt and Essence. Place a rosemary stalk inside. Tie lamb up with another rosemary stalk so that it is rolled and secure. Season the outside of the lamb with more salt, and the coriander and cumin.
• In large saute pan over high heat, add olive oil and heat until hot, but not smoking. Add lamb and sear, on all sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes, being careful not to let the rosemary burn. Transfer to oven and continue cooking for another 20 minutes, or until medium rare. Remove from oven and set aside for 10 minutes while preparing couscous.
• Slice into 1-inch pieces. Serve atop couscous.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
• Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William Morrow, 1993.
• In a large bowl, combine the couscous and salt. Pour the boiling water over the mixture, cover, and let stand until the water is absorbed and the couscous is puffed, about 6 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Add the pistachios, mint, and oil. Adjust seasoning, to taste. Serve hot.

LOIN OF LAMB, WILTED SPINACH, CARROTS & ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a pan, cover the potatoes with cold salted water, bring to the boil and simmer for 5-10 mins until just cooked. Drain and allow to cool slightly, then cut into quarters.
• Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat until hot, then add 45ml of the oil. Add the potatoes, along with the carrots and garlic. Season, toss to coat with oil, then add half the butter and rosemary. Once there's some colour on the potatoes, transfer everything to a roasting tin and cook in the oven for 25-30 mins.
• Meanwhile, place an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat and add the remaining oil. Season the lamb all over and, when the oil is quite hot, add it to the pan.
• Fry the lamb for 1-2 mins each side, using tongs to press down gently to caramelise and render the fat. Season again and put in the oven for 5-7 mins until just cooked. When pressed with your fingers, the lamb should have a bounce to it. Remove from the frying pan and set aside in a warm place.
• While the lamb rests, make the sauce. Add the red wine to the roasting juices in the frying pan over a medium-high heat. Reduce by two-thirds, then add the redcurrant jelly. Once the jelly has melted, add the lamb stock and reduce until it is the consistency of double cream.
• Once the sauce is nearly reduced, put a separate pan on a low heat and melt the remaining butter. Add the spinach to wilt and season.
• To serve, divide the potatoes between four warmed plates. Cut each piece of lamb into about five slices and place next to the potatoes. Arrange the carrots and spinach around the lamb. Spoon the sauce over everything and decorate with pieces of garlic and rosemary. Scatter a pinch of salt over each plate and serve.

GARLIC-ROASTED LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a blender, process oil, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper until smooth and emulsified, scraping down the sides as needed.
• Place lamb, fat side up, on a rack set on a roasting pan; spread garlic paste all over lamb. Roast in oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 135 degrees for medium rare, about 2 hours.
• Transfer lamb to a platter, and discard string; keep warm while you make the Pan Sauce. Slice lamb just before serving.

ROASTED LAMB LOIN WITH GARLIC AND THYME

Steps:

• Boil water and add garlic cloves, cooking until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse garlic under cold water for 30 seconds and set aside. Preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine 6 cooked garlic cloves with olive oil. Mash together with a fork or whisk, adding thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Rub lamb with herb garlic mixture, coating completely and arrange loins on a baking sheet.
• Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a large ovenproof sauté pan over high heat. Add the lamb loins and cook just until browned on each side, about three minutes. Place the sauté pan in the preheated oven and cook the meat until medium rare, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; place lamb on cutting board and allow to rest.
• Warm the remaining TBSP olive oil in the sauté pan over high heat. Add the 10 remaining garlic cloves and sauté until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze by stirring and scraping all sides of the sauté pan. Cook until the wine reduces by half. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and swirl in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut the lamb loins into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Spoon the sauce evenly over the lamb. Scatter garlic around each plate.

GRILLED GARLIC AND ROSEMARY LAMB LOIN CHOPS

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, and salt together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chops and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Grill chops until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), 5 to 7 minutes per side.
