LAMB IN TOMATO SAUCE



Lamb in Tomato Sauce image

This is an adaptation of a dish my husband cooks from Libya. As with all my recipes.... adapt it to your own tastes... add a little of this or leave out a little of that.... use a little more of this or a little less of that until you find how you like it. If you like HOT stuff I bet this would be good with some peppers but I wouldn't have a clue which kind would compliment it best.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lamb, cut up
4 tomatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup tomato paste
salt and pepper, to taste
parsley flakes, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in large sauce pan and add garlic.
  • Brown the lamb all over and then add the tomato and onion and toss around a bit more.
  • Add all the other ingredients and stir well before covering with water.
  • Allow to boil for a while (maybe 20 minutes) and then you can turn down on low-medium to a slow rolling boil to cook the sauce down (maybe another 30 minutes or more).
  • When the sauce is a little thick (not like paste but not water either) it should be done.
  • Be sure to check the lamb to make sure it's done in the middle before you stop cooking it.
  • Serve over spaghetti noodles and top it with a little parmesian cheese OR over rice or couscous.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large unpeeled garlic cloves, divided
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (6-pound) boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and tied
4 to 5 pounds small unpeeled potatoes (16 to 20 potatoes)
2 tablespoons good olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven so the lamb will sit in the middle of the oven.
  • Peel 6 of the cloves of garlic and place them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and butter. Process until the garlic and rosemary are finely minced. Thoroughly coat the top and sides of the lamb with the rosemary mixture. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Toss the potatoes and remaining unpeeled garlic in a bowl with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place the lamb on top of the potatoes. Roast for 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees F and roast for another 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until a meat thermometer registers 130 to 135 degrees F for medium-rare. Place the lamb on a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve with the potatoes.
