ROAST GREEK LAMB WITH TZATZIKI, ROASTED VEGETABLES, AND GREEK SALAD



Roast Greek Lamb with Tzatziki, Roasted Vegetables, and Greek salad image

Sunday roasts and summer are two of my favorite things. But when it's too hot outside, the last thing you want is a full roast with gravy and all the trimmings. It just seems wrong. It's also far too hot to be in a kitchen for long. Greece is famous for its lamb dishes. So what better way to rewind on a warm summer Sunday afternoon than create this laid-back, slow-roasted Greek feast?

Time 4h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 (3 pound) leg of lamb
2 cloves garlic, sliced
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
5 large bay leaves
salt
1 eggplant, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 zucchini, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
7 large potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
sea salt to taste
½ cucumber, grated
½ cup mint leaves, chopped
1 pinch dried oregano, or to taste
salt to taste
1 cup Greek yogurt
6 large tomatoes on the vine, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup whole black olives
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 (4 ounce) package feta cheese
3 pinches dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Open the "pocket" on the wide end of the leg of lamb and stuff with some garlic slices, 1 rosemary sprig, 1 bay leaf, and salt. Make 3 long incisions in the top of the leg with your knife. Stuff remaining garlic, rosemary sprigs, bay leaves, and some salt into the incisions. Season well with salt all over.
  • Season eggplant, zucchini, and 1 red onion with salt and tumble into a roasting pan. Place the leg of lamb on top.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and cover pan with aluminum foil. Continue baking until lamb is tender, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
  • Spread potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with sea salt. Place in the bottom third of the oven. Bake lamb and potatoes for 30 minutes. Remove lamb and let rest while potatoes finish cooking, about 30 minutes more.
  • Combine grated cucumber, mint, oregano, and salt in a bowl. Mix in yogurt until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Combine tomatoes, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, and black olives in a deep-sided dish. Drizzle 3 tablespoons olive oil and red wine vinegar on top. Place feta on top and cover with dried oregano.
  • Carve lamb and serve on a big platter. Scoop out vegetables and juices from the roasting pan and add to the platter. Place roasted potatoes, tzatziki, and Greek salad nearby.

GREEK ROAST LAMB



Greek roast lamb image

If spring is in the air you don't want to be slaving over a hot oven, so make the most of seasonal lamb the easy way with this lazy roast

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large leg of lamb, about 3kg/6lb 8oz
6 garlic cloves
1 bunch oregano
zest and juice 1 lemon
6 tbsp olive oil
1 ½kg new potatoes
400g can chopped tomato
large handful pitted baby kalamata olives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Pound the garlic, half the oregano, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, then add the lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Stab the lamb all over with a sharp knife, then push as much of the herb paste as you can into the holes.
  • Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tin, then toss in the remaining olive oil and any remaining herb paste. Nestle the lamb amongst the potatoes, roast for 20 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Roast for 1 hr 15 mins for medium-rare, adding another 15 mins if you prefer your lamb medium. Baste the lamb once or twice with the juices and toss the potatoes. When the lamb is done to your liking, remove from the tin and let it rest. Throw the rest of the oregano in with the potatoes, scoop from the tin and keep warm.
  • Place the roasting tin over a medium flame, add the canned tomatoes and olives to the pan juices, then simmer for a few mins. Serve the lamb with the potatoes and sauce and a simple salad.

GREEK ROASTED LAMB

Simple but delicious. You may use dried herbs if desired- substitute 1/3 of the amount called for fresh (just make sure the dried herbs are not old).

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 7h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4 lb) boneless leg of lamb
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
5 -6 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano
2 -3 bay leaves
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
assorted root vegetables (optional)

Steps:

  • Remove bone and fell from lamb, if necessary.
  • Piece together and tie with kitchen twine.
  • Mix remaining ingredients and pour over lamb, coating it thoroughly (make additional marinade if needed).
  • Marinate lamb 6 hours or preferably, overnight.
  • Drain marinade and allow lamb to warm (remove a lot of the chill).
  • Place lamb (along with root vegetables, if desired) in roasting pan and roast at 450F for approximately 15 minutes, then reduce oven heat to 350F and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer reads 145-150F for medium rare, or 160F+ for well done, allowing that the meat will raise about 5 degrees as it rests after cooking.
  • Start checking your meat temp with the instant read thermometer at about 20-25 minutes per pound.
  • Allow the roast to rest undisturbed for about 25 minutes before carving.
  • Reduce any drippings, if desired, to serve with the lamb.

SPIT-ROASTED LEG OF LAMB WITH TZATZIKI



Spit-Roasted Leg of Lamb with Tzatziki image

This great-tasting dish from Joanne Weir takes you back to medieval times and spit-roasting at the hearth. You can also roast it over a grill or roast in an oven. This version is flavored with Greek herbs and served with a yogurt-cucumber sauce. Accompany with Pita Bread (page 44).

Yield serves 8 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (5- to 6-pound) leg of lamb, butterflied and trimmed
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, plus 1 clove minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Tzatziki (recipe follows)
2 cups whole or nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and seeded
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
(makes 2 1/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Prepare a very hot fire (500°F) in a fireplace or a medium-hot fire (425°F) in a wood-fired oven.
  • Lay the lamb flat on the work surface with the exterior of the leg on the work surface. With the point of a knife, make several incisions in the lamb and insert a slice of garlic into each incision. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the parsley, chives, mint, rosemary, thyme, oregano, minced garlic, and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  • Spread the herb mixture evenly over the exposed side of the lamb. Roll and wrap the lamb around the spit and secure with kitchen twine or small metal turkey skewers. Brush the outside of the lamb with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the spit 6 to 8 inches from the fire and spit-roast the lamb, using an electric or battery-powered unit to rotate the spit consistently, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb registers 135°F for medium-rare, about 1 hour. Alternatively, put the lamb in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb registers 135°F. Let the meat stand for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Tzatziki.
  • Combine the yogurt and salt in a bowl and stir to blend. Turn into a cheesecloth-lined sieve placed over a bowl and let drain for several hours to remove excess moisture in the yogurt.
  • Meanwhile, shred the cucumber to make 1 cup. Spread the shredded cucumber on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let drain for 30 minutes. Using paper towels, squeeze out the excess moisture.
  • Combine the yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, mint, dill, and olive oil in a bowl. Mix well. Add the lemon juice to taste. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Use now, or within 1 day.
