Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 8-pound leg of lamb, boned, butterflied and well-trimmed of fat, inside and out
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons mustard seed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoon dried
2 bay leaves, crumbled
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Lay the lamb out flat and sprinkle with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Put the oil in a baking dish large enough to hold the lamb. Add the lamb and sprinkle on both sides with mustard seed, cumin, garlic, thyme, fennel seeds, rosemary, bay leaves and lemon juice. Turn and rub the lamb so it is evenly coated with the ingredients. Marinate in a cool place for one or two hours, or up to six hours in a refrigerator. If refrigerated, let the lamb return to room temperature before cooking.
  • Preheat a charcoal grill or the oven broiler.
  • Remove lamb from marinade and reserve marinade. If a grill is used, put the lamb flat on the grill. If the broiler is used, place the lamb under the broiler 4 to 5 inches from the heat. Cook the lamb uncovered on the grill or under the broiler about 15 minutes. Turn and cook 10 to 15 minutes on the second side. For medium or well-done meat, cook longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a baking pan large enough to hold the lamb, stirring. Remove from heat, and swirl in butter and parsley. Transfer the lamb to the marinade pan, cover loosely with foil and keep warm. Let the meat rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Slice thinly and serve with the pan gravy.

Broiled and Slow-Roasted Butterflied Leg of Lamb With Cumin and Garlic image

Who says making a feast has to take forever? For large gatherings like Passover and Easter, leg of lamb is the roast of choice, and arranged on a platter garnished with herbs, it makes a stunning centerpiece. Buying leg of lamb butterflied from the butcher will leave you time to socialize while it is slow-roasting without worrying about uneven cooking.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb     Leg

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup olive oil
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 (8 pound) leg of lamb, boned and butterflied to a more or less even thickness, 4 3/4 to 5 1/2 pounds trimmed weight, fell and most fat removed
1 lemon, juiced
½ cup Minced fresh parsley, cilantro or mint

Steps:

  • Mix oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin and oregano; spread paste on both sides of the lamb and let stand for an hour until meat comes to room temperature.
  • Adjust oven rack to upper or upper-middle position (depending on lamb's thickness) and preheat broiler on high for at least 10 minutes.
  • Place lamb, cut side up, on a large wire rack set over a foil-lined roasting pan. Broil, moving pan so entire surface browns evenly, about 8 minutes. Turn lamb over; continue to broil until well browned on the other side, about 8 minutes longer. Turn off broiler, remove lamb from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Stick a meat thermometer into the thickest portion of the lamb; return it to the oven. Roast for a total of 50 minutes to 1 hour, until thermometer registers a rosy-pink 140 degrees. Check lamb several times after 30 minutes. If lamb gets done sooner, simply turn down oven to 170 degrees until ready to serve.
  • As soon as lamb comes out of the oven, squeeze on lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Carve, slicing across the grain when possible. Arrange on a platter, drizzle with accumulated juices, and serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary, or 2 teaspoons dried
4 garlic, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 butterflied leg of lamb (4 to 5 pounds), trimmed of excess fat

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place lamb in a large shallow dish with marinade, and turn to coat. Cover; marinate 1 hour at room temperature or up to overnight in refrigerator, turning occasionally. (Bring to room temperature before grilling.)
  • Heat grill to medium-high. Thread several metal skewers through lamb in both directions to hold meat together during cooking.
  • Grill lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 140 degrees for medium rare, 10 to 15 minutes per side. Let the meat rest, covered, about 10 minutes. Remove the skewers. Slice the meat thinly, against the grain where possible.
