LAMMSTEK - SWEDISH ROAST LEG OF LAMB



Lammstek - Swedish Roast Leg of Lamb image

Ok, Cookgirl - You asked for it. ... Lamb in Iceland is unlike any other I've ever tasted. While it's the "staple meat" of our country, it has such a wonderful flavor & texture that's impossible to describe adequately. Siggi & I usually grill a leg of lamb or oven roast it after trimming all excess fat & seasoning w/garlic, rosemary and seasoning salt. This unique recipe takes a different approach & is from my "Classic Scandinavian Cooking" cookbook by Nika Hazelton. The name says it all & the intro is brief. "The coffee, provided it is not overly strong, gives an excellent color to the meat & a subtle taste to the gravy."

ROASTED LEG OF LAMB

Roasting is a popular cooking method for a reason. See our step-by-step guides to Preparing a Leg of Lamb and Carving a Leg of Lamb at the Table.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bone-in leg of lamb, aitchbone removed by butcher (7 to 8 pounds)
2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chicken broth or water
2/3 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • For the cleanest-looking presentation, trim 1 1/2 inches of flesh from the shank bone with a sharp paring knife. (Your butcher may be willing to do this for you.)
  • The fell is a thin outer layer of fat that you may find if you buy an untrimmed leg from a butcher. It's very tough, so it's important to remove all of it. A long knife with a sharp thin blade is the best tool for the job.
  • Trim the excess fat that lies beneath the fell, but leave enough to enrich the meat and gravy. It also crisps up nicely when broiled, which helps give the carved slices great texture. Use shears to trim the fat pads around the hip, or large end.
  • Make incisions 1 inch long and 1/2 inch deep all over the leg; they?ll allow the aromatic rub to penetrate the meat more easily. Roughening the surface in this way also results in a crisper, more flavorful crust after broiling.
  • Stir together salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, mustard, and oil in a small bowl until it forms a wet paste. Spread rub evenly over lamb, working it into the incisions. Let lamb sit at room temperature, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Transfer lamb, fat side up, to a large roasting pan fitted with a rack, and add broth. Roast lamb 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees, and roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of flesh near the bone reaches 130 degrees to 135 degrees (medium-rare), about 55 minutes. Increase temperature to broil; broil until surface sizzles and becomes brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer lamb to a platter or carving board; let rest at least 20 minutes before carving.

MYRA WALDO'S SWEDISH LAMB



Myra Waldo's Swedish Lamb image

Craig Claiborne brought this marvelous dinner-party centerpiece to The Times in 1958, after securing it from Myra Waldo, a globetrotting food and travel writer who edited "The Complete Round-the-World Cookbook," featuring recipes gathered by Pan American Airways. Mr. Claiborne recommended this one in a column in the newspaper four years later: a leg of lamb roasted above carrots and onions, broth, hot coffee, cream and a sprinkling of sugar. Really! The result on the plate is remarkable in the way the richness of the sauce mingles with the big taste of the lamb. All we needed to do to improve it was exchange the beef broth Claiborne used (too tinny in flavor) for some of the low-sodium chicken variety. (Sam Sifton)
