YOGURT-MARINATED ROAST LEG OF LAMB



Yogurt-Marinated Roast Leg of Lamb image

A tangy yogurt-herb marinade tenderizes this leg of lamb, then browns in the oven to add flavor to the drippings. Top with chunky Almond Relish for a dramatic dish worthy of a holiday feast or special occasion. (Plan ahead: Chef Berglund recommends two days of marination.)

Categories     main-dish

Time P2DT4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 4-inch piece ginger, about ¼ cup chopped
4 cloves garlic
1 yellow onion
1 bunch parsley, divided
1 bunch cilantro, divided
1 quart whole-milk yogurt
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 bone-in leg of lamb, 5?7 pounds
1 cup whole almonds, toasted, oven-toasted at 350 degrees F for 8?10 minutes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Marinade: Use a spoon to peel the ginger. Peel garlic and onion. Roughly chop onion and ginger, followed by half of the parsley and cilantro, including stems. In a blender, add the ginger, onion, garlic, herbs, ⅓ of the yogurt, and salt. Purée until smooth. Add the remaining yogurt and purée again to combine. Set aside.
  • Lamb: Place lamb on a flat surface. Use a sharp knife to poke holes in the lamb at 1½-inch intervals; this will help the lamb absorb the marinade. Flip over and repeat on the other side. Fit a brining bag into a large container (or the roasting pan you'll be using, if it fits in the refrigerator). Then place the lamb into the bag and pour in the marinade. Massage the marinade into the lamb so all of the meat is covered, then seal the bag. Refrigerate for 1-2 days (longer marination will yield more tenderized lamb).
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer the lamb and all of the marinade into a roasting pan. Lay parchment paper over the lamb to cover, then cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 1 hour. (Total roasting time will be 3 hours.)
  • After 1 hour, remove lamb from oven. Gently remove foil and parchment. (The yogurt will have separated into curds and whey, which is normal.) Use tongs to flip the lamb over, then cover with parchment and foil again. Place back into the oven for 1 hour. After the second hour of roasting, flip the lamb again and place back into the oven, uncovered, for 1 final hour.
  • After a total of 3 hours of roasting, remove lamb. Pierce the lamb with a sharp knife to check for doneness. If there isn't a lot of resistance, it's done. Flip lamb over, spoon yogurt solids on top, and let rest, 30 minutes.
  • Almond Relish: Roughly chop the almonds, place in a medium bowl, and set aside. Pick the leaves off the remaining cilantro and parsley, bunch together, and finely chop. Add herbs to the almonds. Add enough olive oil to cover, about ½ cup, and mix. Juice 3 of the 4 lemon halves into the relish, mix, and add salt to taste. Use the juice of the remaining lemon half to taste.
  • Assembly: Use tongs and a meat fork to transfer lamb to a serving platter. Spoon relish over the lamb, and serve.

YOGURT-MARINATED LEG OF LAMB WITH CARDAMOM AND ORANGE



Yogurt-Marinated Leg of Lamb With Cardamom and Orange image

This wet-roasted leg of lamb doesn't contain a ton of liquid - this is about roasting, not braising, and if you add enough liquid to a cut of meat, you're not roasting any more. Instead, the lamb is moistened with a yogurt-based marinade laced with fresh mint, orange zest and cardamom. The yogurt keeps the surface of the lamb from drying out and - if you let the lamb sit for a while after you've smeared it with the marinade (and you should) - it permeates the meat a bit with the flavors of the marinade. This needs no accompaniment, but if you're in the mood for some heat, a dab of harissa wouldn't be out of place. Don't know how to carve a lamb? Mark Bittman shows you how in this video.

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 5-to-7-pound leg of lamb, preferably at room temperature, shank removed if necessary
1/2 cup whole-milk yogurt
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons orange zest
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425º. Remove as much of the surface fat as is practical from the lamb. Mix together the yogurt, mint, orange zest, cardamom, salt and pepper; rub the meat all over with the yogurt mixture. If you have time, let the lamb sit for an hour or more (refrigerate if it will be much longer).
  • Put the lamb on a rack in a roasting pan. (You might line the pan first with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.) Roast for 30 minutes, then check; if the lamb threatens to burn, turn the heat down to 350º; otherwise leave it at 425º.
  • After about 1 hour (total) of roasting, check the internal temperature of the lamb with an instant-read thermometer. Continue to check every 10 minutes; when it reaches 130 for medium rare (125 for very rare) in its thickest part (check it in several places), it's done. Total cooking time will be less than 1 1/2 hours. Let it rest for a few minutes before carving. Serve garnished with more chopped mint.

BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB MARINATED IN YOGURT AND MINT



Butterflied Leg of Lamb Marinated in Yogurt and Mint image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 scallions, finely chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced, plus 1 large clove garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
Salt to taste
1 (4 to 5 pound) butterflied leg of lamb
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, crushed

Steps:

  • Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, scallions, minced garlic, mint, thyme, lemon zest, pepper, and salt in a large bowl and stir to mix. Rub the garlic clove over both sides of the lamb and put the lamb in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Pour the marinade over the meat and turn it several times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. About 30 minutes before grilling, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill arranging the coals for indirect cooking. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray. The coals should be hot. Lift the lamb from the marinade, scrape off the excess marinade, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Discard the marinade. Combine the oil and crushed garlic in a small bowl for brushing on the meat.
  • Sear the lamb over the hot coals for about 5 minutes on each side, brushing with the olive oil and garlic mixture several times; continue brushing the lamb with the remaining olive oil and garlic mixture during the first 20 minutes of grilling. Move the lamb to the cooler part of the grill, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes. Turn the meat over, cover, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer for medium-rare meat, or until cooked to desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat should register 140 degrees for rare meat and 145 to 150 degrees for medium-rare. Let the lamb rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

GRILLED LEG OF LAMB WITH SPICY LIME YOGURT SAUCE



Grilled Leg of Lamb With Spicy Lime Yogurt Sauce image

Leg of lamb is elegant, and one leg can feed a crowd. Marinate it with a garlicky herb paste, the longer the better. Overnight in the refrigerator is ideal, but even a few hours at room temperature will help. Just make sure to always pat your lamb dry after marinating; this helps eliminate flare-ups. Butterflied legs of lamb tend to be unevenly cut, giving you thicker and thinner parts. This is good if some of your guests like their lamb more well done than you do, but problematic if everyone likes it rare. If you want rare all around (or well done for that matter), consider cutting the lamb into pieces according to thickness so you can take the thinner ones off the grill first.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (5- to 6-pound) boneless butterflied leg of lamb, well trimmed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup mixed chopped thyme and rosemary
Grated zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
8 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (1-inch-thick) slice of ginger, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 small jalapeño, halved and seeded if desired
1 large scallion, trimmed
Grated zest of 1 lime
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste

Steps:

  • Pat lamb dry with paper towels and place it on a rimmed baking sheet. In a bowl, combine oil, herbs, orange zest and juice, the minced garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Rub mixture all over lamb. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate at room temperature for 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add more salt if you like.
  • Heat the grill. Wipe lamb with paper towels, removing most of the rub, then grill until a digital thermometer reads 120 degrees for rare or 130 for medium (about 6 to 15 minutes per side, depending on how you like your meat and how thick the lamb is). If the meat starts to char before it's done, move it to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving with the yogurt sauce.
