ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND ROSEMARY
The longer the lamb marinates in the seasoning paste, the better flavor you'll have. Anywhere from 1 to 24 hours will work, but overnight is best. Slice the leftovers for pita stuffed sandwiches topped with tabbouleh.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Steps:
- Place the chopped lemon, rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a food processor. A blender can also be used, if done in batches. If you have neither, finely chop all ingredients together.
- Open up the lamb and lay it flat. Spread and massage the lemon paste evenly over the inside and outside of the lamb. Place in a baking dish and cover, or in a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate overnight to marinate, turning occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. Place the lamb on a rack in a foil-lined roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Place the meat in the oven and after 5 minutes, reduce the temperature to 425 degrees. Roast for 45 minutes, or until medium rare, 140 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Allow the meat to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving and serving.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. With a small, sharp knife, make 12 incisions 2 inches deep into the fleshy side of the leg. Insert a piece of garlic, half an anchovy and a small sprig of rosemary into each incision. Push them in with your little finger.
- Cream the butter with the remaining anchovies and smear it all over the meat. Sprinkle the meat generously with black pepper, place in a roasting pan and pour the wine around it. Tuck in any leftover sprigs of rosemary and pour the lemon juice over the meat.
- Roast in the oven for 15 minutes; lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and roast for 1 hour more, basting from time to time with the juices. (Cook slightly longer, depending on how well done you like your meat.) Let rest in a warm place for at least 15 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, taste the juices, adding salt as needed. (It should not need much because of the anchovies.) If the gravy is too thin, simmer it in a skillet to thicken. If you choose, garnish the slices of lamb with sprigs of watercress. Serve with gravy and mashed potatoes or creamed eggplant.

Steps:
- Using a sharp pointed knife, make at least 30 small incisions all over the leg of lamb.
- Take 4 cloves from 1 bulb of garlic, peel and thinly slice them, then prod a slice into each incision. Next, take 1 bunch of rosemary, pull off small sprigs and push into the incisions, too.
- If done in advance, cover the leg of lamb well and refrigerate. Remove from the fridge 1 hr before roasting.
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Heat a large frying pan, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and brown the leg of lamb all over.
- Scatter 2 carrots, cut into large chunks, 1 quartered onion, the remaining garlic and rosemary in a large roasting tin, pour in 1 glass of red wine and 1.2l beef or lamb stock, then place the browned lamb in the tin.
- Roast for about 1 hr 45 mins. Turn the leg of lamb halfway through so by the time it's cooked, each side has been in the stock.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
This is a dish we eat once or twice a month. For a change, you can cook sliced potatoes and sauteed onions in stock under the lamb. They get all those yummy garlicky juices dripping on to them.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH ORANGE, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
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.

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.

Steps:
- The day before, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place the bones in the roasting pan and roast them until browned. Add carrots, celery and the split garlic head and onion, spreading them over the bottom of the pan so they will brown. Roast them for 5 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove bones and vegetables and place them in large stockpot.
- Add white wine, water, tomatoes, parsley, rosemary and bay leaf. Simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Or until liquid has been reduced by a third in volume. Remove bones and vegetables and strain stock into a smaller pot. Continue reducing until you have a cup of liquid, which may take about 45 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The sauce can be prepared ahead of time up to this point and refrigerated until needed.
- Prepare marinade for the lamb. Mash garlic into a paste with mustard, soy sauce, rosemary leaves and olive oil. Spread mixture over lamb, wrap in foil and refrigerate overnight.
- Bring lamb to room temperature before roasting. Roast the lamb on a rack in a preheated 350-degree oven for an hour and 15 minutes to one-and-a-half hours for pink, more for well done. Rest lamb in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
- Reheat sauce, correct seasoning, stir in butter and pour into heated sauce boat. Garnish the lamb with sprigs of rosemary and serve.

GARLIC AND ROSEMARY LAMB ROAST
This was an absolute stand-out at our Xmas dinner. The difference here is that there is a stock bath that the roast sits above. This keeps the meat wonderfully moist and the aromas nicely permeate the flesh. The cooking time will produce quite a rare meat (how we like it) so you may prefer to cook for longer. From my favourite Greek & Middle Eastern book. (Australian measurements used.)
