• After tian has been roasting 30 minutes, put lamb on top of vegetables. Roast in middle of oven 30 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F.
• Continue roasting, basting meat with cooking juices (baste with remaining lemon juice during last 30 minutes of roasting) until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat (do not touch bone) registers 135°F for medium-rare, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer meat to a cutting board, cover tian with foil, and let meat stand 15 minutes before carving. Spoon off any excess fat from tian and discard. Serve tian with lamb.

LEG OF LAMB ROASTED OVER POTATO-ONION GRATIN RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Prepare Lamb: Rub garlic paste all over lamb. Rub olive oil all over the leg, then generously season with salt and pepper. Set lamb aside at room temperature for 2 hours. Prepare Gratin: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Choose a baking dish large enough to hold lamb comfortably. Rub interior of dish with the cut side of a halved garlic clove. In the dish, place potatoes, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, garlic, and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Toss everything together and spread potatoes out in an even layer across dish. In a medium bowl, toss 2 yellow onions together with 1 teaspoon thyme , 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Evenly scatter onions over top of potatoes. Pour wine over vegetables. Place baking dish with gratin on lowest oven rack. If dish is not large enough to hold lamb and catch all drippings, place a baking sheet or piece of aluminum foil under dish. Place leg of lamb directly on rack above gratin and make sure baking dish is positioned so it catches all drippings. Roast 15 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue roasting lamb until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, about 1¼ hours. (For medium doneness, cook until temperature reads 135 degrees; for medium-well, 145 degrees.) Check gratin after 1 hour of cooking. If potatoes are fork-tender, remove gratin from oven. If the roast needs more cooking time, place (or leave) a baking sheet or aluminum foil on rack beneath lamb to catch drippings. Once lamb reaches desired doneness, transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes. While lamb and potatoes roast, make Salsa Verde: In a small bowl, mix parsley, mint, thyme, vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add more olive oil, vinegar and salt as needed. Serve lamb with gratin and salsa verde alongside.
