Categories     main-dish

Time 1h27m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds (2 pints) plain yogurt (regular or low-fat)
1/2 cup good olive oil, plus more for brushing grill
1 lemon, zested
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
3/4 cup fresh whole rosemary leaves (2 large bunches)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (5-pound) butterflied leg of lamb (9 pounds bone-in)

Steps:

  • Combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the lamb, making sure it is covered with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator, covered, overnight or for up to 3 days.
  • Bring the lamb to room temperature. Prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals. Scrape the marinade off the lamb, wipe the meat with paper towels, and season it generously with salt and pepper. Brush the grill with oil to keep the lamb from sticking, and grill on both sides until the internal temperature is 120 to 125 degrees for rare. This will take 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how hot the grill is.
  • Remove the lamb to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Then slice and serve.

HERB-CRUSTED LEG OF LAMB



Herb-Crusted Leg of Lamb image

At a traditional Greek Easter dinner, lamb is served medium to well done. If you like it rare, roast it for a shorter amount of time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 legs of lamb (9 pounds each), bone in, trimmed of excess fat
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium head garlic
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brandy
1 1/2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Let lamb stand at room temperature for one hour. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Remove all but a thin layer of fat from the lamb. Rub lamb with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place on a rack in a heavy roasting pan.
  • Meanwhile, rub head of garlic with 1/4 teaspoon oil; wrap loosely in foil. Bake until garlic is very soft, about 1 hour. Let cool.
  • Cut off top of garlic head; squeeze roasted garlic into a bowl. Using a fork, mash garlic to a paste. Add extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix well.
  • Rotate pan after lamb has roasted 1 1/4 hours. After 30 minutes more, slather lamb with roasted-garlic paste. Roast an additional hour (for a total roasting time of about 2 3/4 hours), or until an instant-read thermometer inserted at the thickest part reads 160 degrees. Remove from oven, and let rest 20 minutes.
  • Transfer lamb to a carving board. Pour off fat from roasting pan; place over medium-high heat. Sprinkle with flour, and stir with a wooden spoon. Pour in brandy; scrape up brown bits from bottom of pan. Lower heat to medium; let liquid reduce by half. Add stock, stirring until incorporated. Add rosemary and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice lamb; serve with sauce on the side.

Mint Crusted Rack of Lamb image

I love how the sweet, herbaceous crust works with the subtly gamey meat. Lamb is obviously a popular Easter menu option and this mint-crusted rack of lamb is perfect for the occasion.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Lamb

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup fresh mint leaves
2 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup plain bread crumbs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 (1 1/4 pound) racks of lamb, trimmed
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Cook mint leaves in a pot of boiling water for about 10 seconds.
  • Transfer mint leaves to a bowl of ice water; soak for 30 seconds, drain and squeeze dry.

  • Transfer mint mixture to a large bowl; stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, set aside.
  • Combine 1/4 cup Dijon mustard and 2 teaspoons honey in a small bowl, set aside.

  • Slice 1/2 to 1-inch slits between each bone of the lamb racks to assure the meat roasts evenly.

  • Heat vegetable oil in skillet over high heat. Brown each lamb rack for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer lamb racks to the foil-lined baking sheet.

GRILLED LEG OF LAMB



Grilled Leg of Lamb image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 boneless leg of lamb, butterflied
2 tbsp garlic, minced
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
1 cup white wine
Black pepper, coarsely ground
1/4 cup Italian parsley, minced
1 tsp butter
1 tsp garlic, minced
2-3 medium jalapeno peppers, finely minced
1 16oz jar seedless raspberry preserves
1/4 cup onion, finely minced
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Combine marinade ingredients and place in a one-gallon resealable plastic bag. Unfold the lamb and examine how the butcher butterflied it. You may need to further cut it so the meat is of fairly uniform thickness. You may also have to cut it into 2 to 3 smaller, easier to handle portions. Add lamb to plastic bag and marinate in fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Place lamb on grill over well-heated coals or low-medium flame gas grill. Turn lamb 2 to 3 times while grilling and remove once degree of doneness is achieved (measure with instant-read thermometer). Allow meat to rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with any/all of the following: 1. Reduced marinade (cook down while grilling meat); 2. Fresh garlic aioli; 3. Raspberry jalapeno sauce (recipe below)
  • Serve this to someone who thinks they don't like lamb. It's a huge hit at our annual July 4th barbecue.
  • Sweat the garlic, onions and peppers in the butter. Add preserves, stirring constantly until liquefied. Add wine and reduce to syrupy consistency.

GRILLED HERB-ENCRUSTED LEG OF LAMB WITH FRESH MINT SAUCE



Grilled Herb-Encrusted Leg of Lamb With Fresh Mint Sauce image

This is a very easy but delicious tasting lamb. I don't particularly care for lamb, but I made it because it's a favorite of my husband's and my mom's. My dad isn't much of a fan either, but he said it's the best lamb he's ever eaten. THIS MUST MARINATE FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS!!! The sauce shouldn't be made ahead of time, but it takes only a couple of minutes to throw together. The sauce is also a must to the overall success of the dish; it's much better than mint jelly, IMHO. I cut the recipe in half and it makes a nice amount for four people with a bit of leftovers for sandwiches the next day (although I don't reduce the amounts of the marinade). I serve this with recipe#34382 and recipe#50847.

Time P1DT20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 small boneless leg of lamb (or one large, lamb should total about 5 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped (about 2 T.)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, more as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
1 cup chopped of fresh mint (about 1 bunch)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar, more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • At least 1 day ahead, marinate the lamb: Set the lamb flat on a large cutting board. Trim any excess fat and open like a book to make an even thickness all around. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top of the lamb; pound to flatten slightly to make a more even thickness. Cut the meat into 2 or 3 more manageable pieces. Sprinkle all over with 1 T. of the salt and 1 t. of the pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix the mustard, garlic, thyme, rosemary and the remaining 1 T. of the salt and 1 t. pepper. Spread all over the lamb, transfer to a large nonreactive dish, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Just before grilling, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk 1/4 cup water with the sugar, salt and pepper - they don't have to dissolve completely. Stir in the mint, vinegar and oil. Let sit while the lamb grills. Taste and season with more sugar, salt and pepper if needed (the sauce should have a sharp, acidic tang to complement the rich lamb).
  • Grill the lamb: Heat a gas grill to medium high or prepare a charcoal fire with hot and medium-hot areas. Put the lamb on the grill (on the hotter part if using a charcoal fire) and cook (covered if on a gas grill) without disturbing it until it's nicely browned, about 6-8 minutes. Flip, reduce the heat on the gas grill to medium (or move to the cooler part of the charcoal fire), and cook until and instant-read thermometer inserted into a thicker part of the lamb registers 130 degrees F for med-rare, 5-8 more minutes.
  • Tranfer the lamb to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve with the mint sauce.
