ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND ROSEMARY



Roast Leg of Lamb with Lemon, Garlic, and Rosemary image

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).

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 whole lemons, washed, seeded, and chopped
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves removed
5 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 boneless leg of lamb, butterflied, boned, and cut to lay flat (about 5 pounds)

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.

LEG OF LAMB IN THE SLOW COOKER (WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY)



Leg of Lamb in the Slow Cooker (With Garlic and Rosemary) image

This is high reward for minimum effort food-people will think you're a fabulous cook when you really didn't do much. To make a really earth-shattering meal - when you want to win friends and influence people - serve it with garlicky tzatziki and homemade naan. Fortunately, a slow cooker solves the dilemma. The long, low cooking time breaks down the tough connective tissues in a leg of lamb, making it fall-off-the-bone tender, without turning it to mush.

LEG OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY, GARLIC, AND LEMON



Leg of Lamb With Rosemary, Garlic, and Lemon image

The leg of lamb is studded with garlic and marinated in a combination of garlic, mustard, rosemary, white wine, lemon juice, and olive oil to ensure there is no gaminess. This recipe is for a butterflied 3-lb boneless leg of lamb. The meat will be tender and full of flavor. We like our lamb medium rare, so you may want to cook yours a little longer.
