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."

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)

LEG OF LAMB



Leg of Lamb image

Rubbed with garlic, lavender, and other spices, this roast is the perfect centerpiece for a celebration.

Provided by Jessica B. Harris

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 shank-end, half-bone-in leg of lamb, 4 or 5 pounds
6 large garlic cloves
1½ teaspoons dried lavender flowers
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1½ tablespoons finely ground sea salt
2 tablespoons mixed peppercorns
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. If the butcher has not already removed the fell (parchmentlike membrane) from the lamb leg, trim it away along with all excess fat. Using the tip of a sharp knife, make 15 or so small incisions in the leg, spacing them evenly.
  • Place the garlic, lavender, and thyme in a small food processor and pulse until you have a thick paste. Poke a bit of the paste into each of the incisions in the lamb. Place the salt, peppercorns, dried rosemary, and herbes de Provence in a spice grinder and pulse until you have a coarse mix. Rub the mix all over the lamb, covering it evenly. Place the lamb on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • Roast the lamb for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 350°F and continue to roast for about 1 hour, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part away from the bone registers 130°F for rare, 140° to 145°F for medium-rare, or 160°F for well-done. Cooking times will vary depending on the shape of the lamb and the consistent heat of your oven. Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Carve the lamb parallel to the bone in long, thin slices and arrange the slices on a platter. Transfer the warm sauce to a sauceboat and serve immediately.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB

Cooking peeled potatoes in the pan around the roast is yummy. The only other things you need are gravy made from the pan drippings and a fresh vegetable.

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
5 pounds leg of lamb

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut slits in the top of the leg of lamb every 3 to 4 inches, deep enough to push slices of garlic down into the meat. Salt and pepper generously all over the top of lamb, place several sprigs of fresh rosemary under and on top of the lamb. Place lamb on roasting pan.
