Time 2h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

6 lbs bone-in leg of lamb (about)
14 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons rosemary
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup red wine
2 lemons, zest of, of grated
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pepper
8 large potatoes (1 per person) or 16 -24 small new potatoes, 2 to 3 per person
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Wash lamb well and pat dry.
Finely chop 8 cloves of garlic and place in a glass dish or sturdy plastic bag large enough to hold the lamb.
Stir in 4 tsps each of oregano and rosemary, 1/4 cup of the oil, the wine, zest and lemon juice.
Place lamb in marinade, turning to coat well on all sides; cover and refrigerate overnight.
Crush remaining 6 cloves of garlic and stir together with remaining 2 tsps each oregano and rosemary.
Remove lamb from marinade (keep marinade) and pierce in several places with the tip of a sharp knife.
Rub garlic-herb-mustard mixture over lamb, pressing into incisions.
Coat with remaining 2 tbsp of oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Peel potatoes and cut into large wedges or like cottage fries (or if you are using small, new potatoes, leave them whole).
Toss in the marinade kept from the lamb and 2 additional tablespoons of olive oil and pour all of this mixture into your pan, around the lamb.
Roast, uncovered, in 190 degrees C (375 F) oven for 1 ½ hours, turn lamb over to make a crust on the other side, give potatoes a stir and continue to roast for another 45 minutes (total roasting time - 2 hours and 15 minutes).
Greeks do not like to eat lamb anyway but well-done.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding was SO WRONG when they showed the platter of (red-pink lamb being passed around).
Do it the way you prefer in terms of timing, but this is the way it would be served here.
Serve with plenty of crusty bread to dip into the pan juices, a large, leafy salad, and lots and lots of red wine!

TRADITIONAL GREEK ROASTED LAMB AND POTATOES

Traditional Greek Roasted Lamb and Potatoes image

A traditional and very flavorful Greek recipe for Easter and any Springtime family meal!

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories Main course

Time 3h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

3.5 lbs. lamb shoulder (bone in)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tsps. sea salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
8 med. garlic cloves, divided into half slivered and half minced
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, divided
4 springs fresh thyme
2 tsp. dried Greek oregano
--- zest of one lemon
For the potatoes:
2 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled & quartered
1½ tsps. sea salt
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. dried Greek oregano
Juice of 1 medium lemon
½ cup water or chicken stock, hot (if needed)

Steps:

Pat dry the lamb using paper towels and place it in a roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, make several incisions in the lamb and insert the slivered garlic and half of the rosemary leaves.
Whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, the other half of the garlic (minced), the other half of the rosemary (chopped), thyme, oregano and lemon zest. Pour the marinade over the lamb making sure to cover it on all sides. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
30 minutes before you are ready to roast the lamb, remove it from the refrigerator and turn on the oven to 450°F.
Wrap the lamb and its marinade well with parchment paper (not wax paper) and then with aluminum foil (this will ensure that all the juices stay with the meat and do not leek.) If you do not have parchment paper, use two layers of foil instead. Place the roasting pan with the lamb in the middle rack of the oven, cook for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 360°F. Roast for 2 hours.
While the lamb roasts, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then in quarters. If the potatoes are large, cut each quarter in half again. Place them in a medium bowl and toss them with the salt, pepper, oregano, and lemon juice.
After two hours, remove the roast from the oven, open the wrapping carefully and check it. At this point, the bone should be loose and starting to come away from the meat. If it is not, cover the lamb again, return it to the oven, and roast for another 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Uncover the lamb; there should be about a cup of its juices in the pan. If there is not enough liquid, add enough hot water to make about 1 cup. Scatter the potatoes around and under the lamb and return the pan to the oven for about 20-30 minutes until the skin of the lamb is brown and crisp (cover loosely with a piece of foil if the lamb becomes too dark before this time).
At this point, remove only the lamb from the roasting pan and transfer it to a platter. Cover it loosely with some foil and let it rest for 20 minutes. Continue roasting the potatoes for another 15 minutes, or so, until they become soft and have a nice golden color. There should be still plenty of juice in the pan.
To serve, spoon some pan juices over the lamb, divide it in four portions and serve it alongside the lemon potatoes. Garnish with some lemon slices and enjoy with a glass of Merlot.

Provided by Dimitra Khan

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1 leg of lamb or shoulder (3 and 1/2 - 4 pounds)
Garlic cloves, peeled (about 22)
8-10 potatoes, quartered and peeled
2-3 medium onions, quartered
2 teaspoons salt, plus more for potato seasoning
black pepper to taste
The Marinade:
1/3 cup lemon juice (2-3 lemons)
1/2 cup olive oil
5 heaping teaspoons of dried oregano, plus more for potato seasoning
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Ladolemono (lemony olive oil sauce):
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 garlic clove, minced
sea salt and black pepper to taste
Just whisk all of the ingredients together and pour in a nice gravy bowl or any nice small bowl and serve!

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Place the garlic on the bottom of the roasting pan. Place the leg of lamb on top of the garlic. Arrange the onions around the lamb.
Whisk the marinade and pour over the lamb. Rub it all over so that everything is marinated. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over everything. Make sure that you season all sides of the lamb.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, peel and quarter the potatoes and place them in a large bowl covered with cold water.
Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and cook for 1 and 1/2 hour more covered with foil.
Drain the water out of potatoes and drizzle about 1/4 cup or less olive oil over them. Lightly season them with salt, pepper, and some dried oregano. Add the potatoes to the roasting pan with the lamb and bake covered for an hour.
Remove the foil and bake for about 30 minutes more or until the meat is falling off the bone. Remember to baste the lamb with the sauce in the pan each time you handle the pan.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 25 minutes in the roasting pan. Transfer it onto a nice platter with the potatoes and serve it with a delicious salad and crusty bread! You can also prepare some more ladolemono sauce to serve with the lamb. Enjoy!!
OPTIONAL: The potatoes can be peeled and left whole so that you may cook them together with the lamb from the start. They will be very flavorful but will become a bit dark. It's up to you! Let me know which way you like it better in the comments section below.

Time 1h

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

One 8- to 10-pound leg of lamb, bone-in, trimmed
2 lemons, cut in half
Salt and pepper
4 cloves garlic, sliced lengthwise
Dash oregano
8 ounces water

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Under running water, trim the outer layer of fat from the lamb and blot dry. Allow the lamb to reach room temperature and squeeze the juice from the lemons over the lamb. Slice cloves of garlic, lengthwise.
Put salt and pepper into a small container. Cut 6 small slots into each side of the leg of lamb, about 1-inch deep. Insert garlic slivers, followed by salt and pepper, into the lamb. Lightly sprinkle top of lamb with oregano. Pour the water into a roasting pan, add lamb, and cover with foil. Roast on lowest rack of oven for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove foil, lower heat to 375 degrees and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until lamb reaches desired temperature. Remove and let lamb stand about 30 minutes as the lamb continues to cook. To test the temperature of the meat, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the leg without touching the bone. For rare lamb, the thermometer should register 140 degrees. For medium, the thermometer should register 145 degrees.

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

Ingredients

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.
