Moroccan Lamb Stew





ingredients


鈥?1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds


鈥?1 tablespoon coriander seeds


鈥?1 teaspoon fennel seeds


鈥?3-4 small dried chillies


鈥?a small bunch of fresh rosemary, leaves picked and finely chopped


鈥?2 thumb-sized pieces of fresh ginger, peeled


鈥?sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


鈥?extra virgin olive oil


鈥?4 smallish neck fillets of lamb


鈥?4 sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 2.5 cm/1 inch dice


鈥?2 red onions, peeled and roughly chopped


鈥?4 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced


鈥?12 ripe plum tomatoes, each cut into 8 pieces


鈥?1 stick of cinnamon


鈥?2 bay leaves


鈥?a handful of dried apricots


鈥?285ml (陆 pint) boiling water


鈥?350g/12oz couscous


鈥?a little wine vinegar


鈥?1 large bunch of fresh coriander


鈥?4 tablespoons natural yoghurt





Preheat the oven to 190掳C/375掳F/gas 5. Pound up your cumin, coriander and fennel seeds with the dried chillies, rosemary, ginger and a pinch of salt and pepper, stirring in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Smear half of this marinade over your lamb before you plait it. Rub and massage it in, then put the meat to one side while you mix the rest of the marinade in a bowl with the sweet potatoes, onions and garlic.





Brown your 4 marinaded pieces of meat on both sides in a pan with a little olive oil. Add the sweet potato mixture to the pan and remove the lamb to the empty bowl while you fry your veg for about 4 minutes until the onions are slightly soft. Add your tomatoes, give the pan a shake and place the meat on top. Add 3 wineglasses of water, the cinnamon stick, bay leaves and dried apricots, and braise in the preheated oven (I suggest you do this with the lid off to give it a little colour) for 1 hour 15 minutes. Now pour the boiling water over the couscous and allow it to be absorbed. Then fork the couscous through, season with salt, pepper, a lug of olive oil and a swig of wine vinegar, cover with tinfoil and place in the oven for 5 minutes to steam.





Roughly chop the fresh coriander and stir it through the stew just before serving. Divide between 4 plates with the couscous and spoon over a good dollop of natural yoghurtAnyone have a recipe for Lamb Stew with Apricots?

Have you got a good recipe for lamb shanks?

6 lamb shanks


1 onion, chopped finely


2 carrots, chopped finely


1 tablespoon (fresh) rosemary, chopped


1 tablespoon (fresh) thyme, chopped


1 bay leaf


500ml (2 cups) wine


750ml (3 cups) beef stock

pepper


1 cup parsley, finely chopped








Put the lamb shanks in a covered oven proof dish with the onion, carrots, rosemary, thyme and bayleaf. Cover with wine and stock and put in a preheated 200C/390F oven for 30 minutes and then turn the heat down to 150C/300F and cook for a further 1 1/2 to 2 hours.


Take out the lamb shanks and strain the liquid. Put the liquid into a saucepan and reduce by half. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the flour. Cook for a minute and gradually add the hot milk and cooking liquid, stirring continuously so lumps do not form. Add extra liquid if necessary and then salt and pepper and parsley.


I usually take the meat off the bone and cut it into cubes to serve it.

Braised Lamb Shanks With Green Olives And Apricots











4 lamb shanks, about 8 ounces each


Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


6 sprigs fresh thyme, plus 2 sprigs


2 sprigs fresh rosemary


1 lemon, zested in big strips


2 garlic cloves, halved


1/2 teaspoon whole cloves


2 cinnamon sticks, plus 2 sticks


1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns


2 bay leaves


1 tablespoon sugar


1 bottle full-bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon


1/4 cup all-purpose flour


3 tablespoons olive oil


2 cups lamb or chicken stock


1 cup pearl onions, peeled


3 carrots, coarsely chopped


12 large green Spanish olives


12 dried apricots





First off, you want to marinate the lamb shanks for a few hours to really penetrate the deep flavor; the wine also tenderizes the meat. Put the shanks in a large glass bowl and season with salt and pepper. Break up the thyme and rosemary with your hands to release the oils and toss them on top of the lamb. Add the lemon peel, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, bay leaves, and sugar. Pour in the bottle of wine, cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.


Line a few layers of paper towels on the counter. Pull the lamb shanks out of the wine marinade (reserving it for later), and lay them out on the paper towels, cover with more paper towels and pat the meat dry really well. Put the flour in a large shallow platter and season it with a fair amount of salt and pepper. Dredge the lamb shanks in the seasoned flour; tapping off the excess.





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.





Place a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add the oil. Sear the lamb shanks, turning carefully with tongs, so all sides are a brown caramel color. Drizzle with a little more oil if needed. Do this in batches if the shanks are big and look crowded in the pot. Strain marinade reserving the wine. Add the wine, remaining 2 sticks of cinnamon, remaining 2 sprigs of thyme and the stuff from the marinade. Cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Pour in the stock and add the onions, carrots, olives, and apricots; bring to a boil. Cover the pot. Place in the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.


Transfer the lamb shanks to a large platter. Spoon the onions, olives, and apricots over them. Strain the braising juices and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the platter and serve with some crusty breadHave you got a good recipe for lamb shanks?

1 Lamb Shank


2 Clove Garlic


4 Strips of Proscuitto


12 Sprigs fresh Rosemary





Take the Shank and put small hole in it at random with a small knife. Cut Garlic in quarters and wrap with a small amount of Proscuitto, insert in holes, Lay the 3 remaining rashers of Proscuitto, lay 6 sprigs of rosemary across the proscuitto, now place the Shank on top, place the remaining rosemary on top of the shank, wrap the proscuitto around the shank. Bake in the oven at 250C, for 35 mins. Take out and place in a warm spot and allow to rest for 10 mins, while its resting take all the proscuitto and rosemary off and use some to make a gravy. Basically, the oil and cooking juices, white wine reduce, Serve with baked Vegetables
First of all, let me make it plain that I am NOT one of these people who want to ';brown'; meat first on the grounds that it either ';caramelises the sugars'; (?!?) or ';brings out the flavour';. If there's no flavour there to start with, nothing you can do is going to 'bring it out', is it !


That said, take a casserole dish, put a layer of sliced carrots, onions and parsnips if you like them on the bottom, then put the lamb shank/s on this, then fill in the spaces with more sliced carrots and onions and a crushed clove of garlic if you like - then pour lamb stock from a cube or two over it all, put the lid on the casserole dish and put it in the oven - Mk4 for around three hours.


If what comes out after that time is beaten by any of the fancy 'recipes', let me know and I'll eat my best hat as an accompaniment to MINE ! ! !
Hi - I like the traditional tomato base such as suggested by Len or Whosafis.





A dash of woostershire %26amp; balsamic vinegar (not too much) will darken this and bring it alive.





Also, a secret ingredient I found out by accident is adding one thickly diced red capsicum (bell pepper) with the other ingredients. This really adds something special to the hearty tomato and beef gravy flavours.
How about Lancashire Hotpot.

A good leg of lamb recipe?

First put some cuts in it and put slivers of garlic in, then cover with a light layer of olive oil.





Get some tin foil and some fresh rosemary, put the fresh rosemary over the lamb and cover with foil.





Cook in an over at 190c for one hour take out and take off foil, then put back in the oven with vegetables you wish to cook.





Take the lamb out after 45 Min's and rest the meat covered while the vegetables cook.





For the gravy use some of the roasting juice, one lamb stock cube, some resemary, and big dollop of mint sauce and a spoonfull of black currant jam and water then simmer; thicken with flour.A good leg of lamb recipe?
I always do mine like this:





Chop some garlic and mix in olive oil and fresh or dried rosemary then make some cuts in the meat and push the oil mixture into the pockets. Massage the rest of it all over the leg then cover and roast. Absolutely delicious!A good leg of lamb recipe?
I am a gourmet cook, but my lamb recipe is simple. I salt and pepper it, roast it in the oven until medium well done and serve it with freshly made mint sauce, a mixture of freshly crushed mint leaves, sugar and vinegar, simmered for 15 minutes.
KISS





cut slits in lamb and insert chip of garlic and rosemary in each slit. about 3 inches apart. Put lamb on rack, bake at 325F for about 2 hours.





let sit on serving platter about 30 minutes before slicing.





serve with spiced apple slices and apple mint jelly or with jalapeno mint sauce.
we sprinkle ours with garlic salt instead of salt - it tastes yummy.....then roast until cooked through ( my dad has to have it well done or he won't eat it)
Greek Style:





Cut slits into the meat and insert chopped garlic cloves (as many as you like). Marinate the meat overnight in 1 part olive oil and 1 part lemon juice, salt/pepper, nd oregano.





You can cook it on the grill of bake coverd in the oven at 375 until cooked (use a meat therometer)...should only take a couple hours depending on the size
For an excellent French style roast leg of lamb recipe, don't hesitate, but go to www.lamb-recipes.net/ ...........Enjoy!!
As a chef, here's mine:





Dust the lamb in flour and seal off in a hot pan. Place in a medium roasting tray. In the same pan, brown off some chopped onion, carrot and leak and add to the roasting tray.





Put a good splash of red wine in the frying pan and deglaze, scraping all the nice flavours from the bottom. Pour over the lamb. Add little more wine, a generous amount of lamb stock, a couple of crushed garlic cloves and a couple of sprigs of rosemary.





Cover the lamb with foil and bake at 180 degrees C for about two hours, checking and basting continuously throughout.





When done, allow the lamb to rest. With all the juices, strain into a pan and simmer gently until reduced by half, or until nice and thick.





Best served with thyme roasted new potatoes and creamed cabbage.

    Lamb chops with balsamic reduction





    * 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary


    * 1/4 teaspoon dried basil


    * 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme


    * salt and pepper to taste


    * 4 lamb chops (3/4 inch thick)


    * 1 tablespoon olive oil


    * 1/4 cup minced shallots


    * 1/3 cup aged balsamic vinegar


    * 3/4 cup chicken broth


    * 1 tablespoon butter





    1. In a small bowl or cup, mix together the rosemary, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the lamb chops on both sides. Place them on a plate, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.


    2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place lamb chops in the skillet, and cook for about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium rare, or continue to cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet, and keep warm on a serving platter.


    3. Add shallots to the skillet, and cook for a few minutes, just until browned. Stir in vinegar, scraping any bits of lamb from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half. If you don't, the sauce will be runny and not good. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Pour over the lamb chops, and serve.Does anyone know a great tasting recipe for lamb chops?

    LAMB CHOPS WITH LEMON





    This dish has a classic simplicity, and its preparation is similarly streamlined. Just brown lemon-and-thyme-seasoned lamb chops quickly, then serve drizzled with a lemony reduction of its own cooking juices. If you enjoy wine with such a main dish, try a fruity young Beaujolais, lightly chilled. Preparation time: 5 minutes. Chilling time: 1/2 to 1 hour. Cooking time: 8 to 10 minutes.





    FOR 4 SERVINGS YOU WILL NEED:





    4 to 6 blade bone lamb chops, about 1/2 inch thick


    3 tbsp. lemon juice


    White pepper


    1 tsp. dried thyme leaves


    1 1/2 tbsp. butter


    1/2 tbsp. salad oil


    Salt


    Lemon wedges for garnish





    1. Trim excess fat from lamb chops, if necessary. Place in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Sprinkle lightly with white pepper, then evenly with thyme. Refrigerate to blend flavors for 1/2 to 1 hour.


    2. In mixture of heated butter and oil in a large heavy frying pan, cook lamb chops over moderately high heat until well browned on both sides (3 to 4 minutes per side). Salt to taste. Remove chops to a warm platter.





    3. Pour off and discard fat in pan. Add remaining lemon juice to pan, stirring to dissolve brown drippings. Drizzle mixture over chops. Garnish with lemon wedges. Good served with: Mashed potatoes or rice pilaf, and sliced fresh tomatoes.





    FOR 2 SERVINGS: Half of the ingredients. FOR 8 SERVINGS: Double the ingredients.

    Lamb is such a wonderful meat it's best to treat with it simply. A little rosemary and garlic crushed together and sprinkled with sea salt rubbed all over the leg of lamb is more than adequate. Then you roast it covered in foil ( lamb is terrible when it's dry) until it's done then you uncover the leg and let it get a little brown. For a side dish I'd do a nice steamed dill rice, with lots of dill and flavour it with chicken broth.

    Smells divine while cooking.
    INGREDIENTS





    * 2 sprigs fresh parsley


    * 2 sprigs fresh thyme


    * 2 bay leaves


    * 2 pounds lamb shank, cooked and diced


    * 1 pound cubed ham steak


    * 10 small onions


    * 5 tomatoes - blanched, peeled and chopped


    * 2 cloves garlic, chopped


    * 4 cups chicken stock


    * 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed


    * 6 links pork sausage links, halved


    DIRECTIONS





    1. Tie the sprigs of parsley and thyme together with the bay leaves or place them in a cheesecloth and tie closed, because you will want to easily remove the herbs later. Place the herb bundle, lamb, ham, onion, tomato, garlic and stock in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.


    2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour. Stir in the beans and sausage and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes, or more if you want a thicker consistency.

    I found a recipe for lamb loin but it specifies do not use tenderloin.?

    Is tenderloin specific to a beef cut? Or do they mean this is a lamb recipe don't use beef tenderloin? Or is there a part of the lamb that is called tenderloin and they don't want you to use that?I found a recipe for lamb loin but it specifies do not use tenderloin.?
    They are talking about lamb tenderloin. It would be my guess they said not use it because it is very small.





    There is also pork tenderloin.I found a recipe for lamb loin but it specifies do not use tenderloin.?
    Actually, I just made the same mistake with pork. Loin and tenderloin are two SEPARATE cuts of meat, and tenderloin is smaller and ';mushier'; in general. Loin is where your chops would be found, which are also soft, but in a larger piece, but a little firmer.





    It is my guess that a lamb tenderloin would be a terribly expensive cut . Lamb is already high.





    If you are making a stew that will be cooked for a long time, choose shoulder or leg.





    If your recipe cooks within an hour, choose breast or leg.





    If you need a lamb recipe that cooks in a matter of a few minutes, choose lamb chops or tenderloin.





    Buy extra meat, because you HAVE to remove fat from lamb before cooking it. I usually end up with about 30% of the lamb I buy in the garbage....it was all fat. Another reason to buy a cheap cut.





    Most great lamb dishes are made with lamb leg or even lamb shoulder. Usually it involves so much cooking that it comes out tender regardless of the cut.
    Most animals have a Tenderloin.... even Tuna! Lamb Tenderloin can dry out in a braising recipe (which is my guess on what you have)... so you want to us a juicier, larger cut.
    Loin and Loin Chops: The loin is also a very tender, prized section of the lamb, usually sold cut into chops (it is also possible to order a loin roast, either on the bone or boneless). Loin chops are slightly leaner than rib chops and lack the rib bone. The eye of a loin chop is a bit larger than a rib chop and usually includes a medallion of tenderloin (like a tiny T-bone steak).








    Loin chops are excellent grilled, broiled and saut茅ed, and are also best enjoyed cooked rare to medium-rare.








    the tenderloin is a part of meat close to the spine and inside the ribs
    it means the lamb tenderloin ,tendorloin is a cut ,or section of any ,eat ,,its like when you look at a tbone steak the smalll sade is the tenderloin section,,,same ad with a pork chop the small side of the is tenderloin ,,,so yeah they are refering to that cut of meat..

    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.

    Anybody has good recipes for lamb birria?

    preferably that can be cooked in the crockpotAnybody has good recipes for lamb birria?
    Birria can be made with beef, veal, pork, goat or lamb making it quite versatile. Many people will use more than one type of meat, combining one, two or three kinds in one dish. Poultry is not traditionally used in this dish. You will need a Dutch oven or large casserole dish with a tight fitting lid and a rack that sits inside.


    INGREDIENTS:


    3-4 lbs meat with or without bones


    4 guajillo chiles


    3 ancho chiles


    3 cascabel chiles


    1 teaspoon pepper


    1/4 teaspoon cloves


    1 tsp oregano


    1/4 tsp ground cumin


    1/2 teaspoon ground thyme or 2-3 sprigs


    6 garlic cloves, peeled and finely diced


    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon


    2 bay leaves


    1 teaspoon salt


    1 onion, peeled and coarsely chopped


    2 tablespoons vinegar


    1 cup of water


    1 cup chopped onion


    1 cup chopped cilantro


    Corn tortillas


    PREPARATION:


    Start Chile Paste


    Toast the chiles on a hot pan until browned, but not burned. Remove the seeds and veins and cover with hot water for 15 to 20 minutes. When done soaking, process in blender with the vinegar to make a paste.





    Meat Rub


    Mix the salt, pepper, cloves, oregano, cumin, cinnamon and thyme. Rub the meat well with this mixture. Then coat the meat with half of the chile paste. Let marinate overnight.





    Cook the Meat


    Fill a Dutch oven with water. Add the chopped onion, bay leaf, garlic and the remaining chile sauce to the water. Place meat on a rack that sits just above the water. Place lid on and bake for 4 hours at 350 degrees.





    Prepare the Dish


    Remove the meat and place into serving bowls. There are two ways to finish. The first way has no broth. Remove bay leaves from liquid. If liquid is too watery, reduce by boiling in a small pan. Coat the meat chunks with the reduced chile sauce. Use meat to fill tortillas and top with onions and cilantro. The second way is to let the liquid cool slightly and remove the bay leaves. At this point some people blend the liquid. Add enough hot water to make at least 2 cups. Ladle the liquid over the meat and top with chopped onion and cilantro. Serve with warm corn tortillas.Anybody has good recipes for lamb birria?

    5 whole dried red chile peppers


    6 fresh curry leaves


    50 g garlic paste

Cover with the lid ajar and return to a simmer, cook for about 1 1/2 hours until the lamb is tender. Stir occasionally and thin with water if the sauce becomes too thick while cooking.


    When the lamb is tender, stir in garam masala, sugar, and the tamarind paste dissolved in 3 tablespoons of water; cook 5 minutes longer, or until the sauce thickens. Remove the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods before serving.

    What is a good lamb recipe?

    Try making roasted leg of lamb. Just use a dry rub and bake as in the directions on the package.What is a good lamb recipe?
    Roast Lamb NZ


    Roast leg of lamb with garlic, rosemary %26amp; a mustard crust


    Serves 8


    1 leg of lamb, with bone (you can use rolled but the flavour is not as good)


    1 clove of garlic


    1 small sprig rosemary


    3 kalamata olives (optional) or three pieces of lemon rind


    2 teaspoons fine salt


    2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard


    1/3 cup breadcrumbs


    1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs


    1 stick celery, roughly chopped


    1 small onion, roughly chopped


    1 small carrot, roughly chopped


    3 tablespoons olive oil


    Dry the leg with a tea towel and trim off any excess fat. Slice the garlic into 6 and pierce the skin inserting pieces evenly over the leg. Repeat with the rosemary and olives. Season on all sides with the salt. Brush the leg with the mustard then sprinkle on the breadcrumbs mixed with the herbs. Arrange the chopped vegetables into a roasting dish then place the lamb on top. Drizzle with the olive oil and put into a pre heated oven at 160C. Cook for 11/2 to 2 hours depending on the size of the leg.


    How do I know when it's cooked?


    Use a small sharp knife and pierce the thickest part of the meat. Hold the knife there for 5 seconds and remove. If the juices run out of the cut 'clear' it is ready - if they are 'bloody' or 'pink' it will need another 15 minutes approx. If you enjoy medium - rare lamb then a little pinkness in the juices will mean it is ready.





    How to rest your roast


    Place the lamb on a hot dinner plate next to the oven or in a warm position, away from any draught. Cover with tightly with two layers of tin foil and a tea towel. This important stage allows the meat to 'relax' before carving and it will become more tender.


    Whilst it is resting - for a minimum of 20 minutes you can prepare the gravy.





    Homemade gravy


    Pour off any excess fat in the roasting dish, leaving a little in the dish as this is necessary to bind the gravy together. Sprinkle 3 tbsp of flour into the roasting dish and place on a medium element to start cooking. Stir the flour in with the vegetables and mix to a paste. Then add 1/4 cup of red wine (I like to use any left over red wine for this) and cook till it has evaporated, you may need to turn the heat up further for this.


    Once the wine has fully evaporated start to add some boiling water or the cooking water from your vegetables on the stove - this will add extra flavour as it will be rich in nutrients. Continue to add liquid and keep stirring till a smooth sauce is formed. You will need between one and two cups of liquid for the sauce. Turn the heat down then simmer for 10 minutes allowing the flour to cook out and this gets rid of that floury taste. There may be some juices that have settled under the lamb roast, add these into the gravy. Check the seasoning, adjust if necessary with more salt and pepper. Strain through a fine sieve and pour into a warm sauce boat.





    Sides


    Nothing beats a big pile of crispy roast potatoes with sliced roast lamb. I like to boil chunks of peeled potato for 15 minutes then place in with the lamb, turning them every half hour or so. Green vegetables are must as well - beans plunged into boiling salted water for 5 minutes or sweet baby peas, drained and tossed in a bowl with some sliced mint, a knob of butter and a squeeze of lemon juice with sea salt


    http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/410965/43034What is a good lamb recipe?
    Are you doing a rack or chops or a roast? For a rack, I just rub with a bit of olive oil, dijon mustard, crushed garlic, rosemary and salt and pepper. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temp and then grill for about 20-30 minutes, to medium rare.





    For a roast, this is really good - I made it a few weeks ago...





    12 large unpeeled garlic cloves, divided


    1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves


    Kosher salt


    Freshly ground black pepper


    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted


    1 (6-pound) boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and tied


    4 to 5 pounds small unpeeled potatoes (16 to 20 potatoes)


    2 tablespoons good olive oil





    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven so the lamb will sit in the middle of the oven.





    Peel 6 of the cloves of garlic and place them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and butter. Process until the garlic and rosemary are finely minced. Thoroughly coat the top and sides of the lamb with the rosemary mixture. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.





    Toss the potatoes and remaining unpeeled garlic in a bowl with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place the lamb on top of the potatoes and roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the lamb is 135 degrees (rare) or 145 degrees (medium). Remove from the oven and put the lamb on a platter; cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the lamb to rest for about 20 minutes. Slice and serve with the potatoes.





    I hope those help!

    Help! Simple Leg of Lamb recipe for Easter Sunday?

    Has anyone a simple way of making a leg of lamb a little special for Easter Sunday, please?Help! Simple Leg of Lamb recipe for Easter Sunday?
    cover it is rosemary sprigs, olive oil and pepper and salt and shove it in a low oven to slow roast. Make vegetables, roastie spuds and red wine gravy. Drink the rest of the wine while you are waiting for it to cook. Wait until everyone is absolutely starving before you serve it, then they'll eat it no matter what the hell it's like. That is my top tip for the day.Help! Simple Leg of Lamb recipe for Easter Sunday?
    Make some slits in the leg with a knife and then push garlic into them. Smother the leg with a mixture of olive oil, sea salt and rosemary and roast in the oven.
    This sounds odd, but trust me it's fabulous. I got it from a Simon Hopkinson recipe book. It's got anchovies in it, but don't let that put you off - they melt away to nothing but leave behind a marvellous tang to the gravy which developes around the meat from the wine. The wine also keeps the meat really moist.





    Using a sharp pointy knife make a dozen or so little holes in the meat. Into each hole stuff a half clove of garlic, half a tinned anchovy and a sprig of fresh rosemary. I usually sort of squish it all in there with the rosemary last to hold it in. Then rub the lamb all over with butter and put it in a roasting pan with about a half a bottle of decent white wine. Cook as per normal (the Waitrose website recommends for medium-cooked lamb, cook for 25 minutes per 450g plus 25 minutes) and be sure to let it rest for 10 minutes before you carve it.





    I usually serve this with roast potatoes (do them in a separate pan) and purple sprouting brocolli!!!
    French style: Cut into skin with a sharp knife and poke slivers of garlic and rosemary into the cuts. Season with salt and pepper.Roast as normal





    English style: Rub skin with salt, season with pepper. Roast as normal and serve with fresh mint sauce - not out of a jar. Chop fresh mint finely, put in a suitable dish, cover with white vinegar and add a smidgen of sugar.





    Lamb is fatty. The garlic helps to 'cut' the fat; mint sauce has the same effect. This is one dish where fusion cooking is not recommended. Either garlic or mint - not both.
    Try the following





    Baked Lamb with Rosemary with Redcurrant and Mint Sauce





    1 x 4-4 陆 lb (1.8-2 kg) leg of British lamb


    2 level tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves plus 1 sprig of rosemary


    1 clove garlic


    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil


    10 fl oz (275 ml) dry white wine


    陆 level teaspoon sea salt


    freshly milled black pepper





    For the sauce:


    3 level tablespoons good-quality redcurrant jelly


    4 level tablespoons chopped fresh mint


    3 tablespoons red wine vinegar


    salt and freshly milled black pepper





    Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5, 375掳F (190掳C).





    First of all, crush the garlic and sea salt together to a pur茅e, using a pestle and mortar, then add the oil, chopped rosemary and a good seasoning of pepper and mix well. Next, spread a large sheet of foil over the roasting tin, place the lamb on it and stab the fleshy parts of the joint several times with a skewer. Now spread the rosemary mixture all over the upper surface of the lamb and tuck in a sprig of rosemary (as this makes a nice garnish later). Then bring the edges of the foil up over the lamb, make a pleat in the top and scrunch in the ends. This foil parcel should be fairly loose to allow the air to circulate. Bake the lamb for 2 hours, then open out the foil, baste the joint well with the juices and return it to the oven for a further 30 minutes to brown. The above cooking time should result in lamb very slightly pink: you can cook it for more or less time, as you prefer.





    Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining the redcurrant jelly and vinegar in a small saucepan and whisking over a gentle heat, till the jelly melts into the vinegar (a balloon whisk does this perfectly). Then add the chopped mint and some seasoning and pour into a jug 鈥?the sauce doesn't need to be warm. When the lamb is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 20 minutes before carving. Discard the foil, spoon off the fat and make some gravy with the juices left in the tin: add the white wine, stir and let it bubble until it has become syrupy. Season with salt and pepper if it needs it and pour into a warmed serving jug.





    Or Roast Lamb with Garlic and Rosemary and Rosemary and Onion Sauce


    1 leg of lamb, weighing about 4 lb (1.8 kg)


    3 large cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced lengthways into about 24 slivers


    2 large stems fresh rosemary, cut into about 24 small sprigs


    1 small onion, peeled


    salt and freshly milled black pepper





    For the Onion and Rosemary Sauce:


    1 rounded tablespoon rosemary leaves


    1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped


    1 oz (25 g) butter


    1 oz (25 g) plain flour


    6 fl oz (175 ml) milk


    6 fl oz (175 ml) vegetable stock


    2 tablespoons cr猫me fra卯che


    salt and freshly milled black pepper





    Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5, 375潞F (190潞C).





    Begin by making about 24 small, deep cuts in the skin of the lamb using a small, sharp knife. Then push a sliver of garlic, followed by a small sprig of rosemary, into each cut, and season the meat generously with salt and freshly milled black pepper. Next, cut the onion in half and place it in the bottom of the roasting tin, then transfer the lamb to the tin to sit on top of the onion halves. Cover the tin loosely with foil, then cook in the oven on a high shelf for 1陆 hours. After this, take the foil off and let it cook for another 30 minutes. Remove the lamb from the oven, cover loosely with foil again and allow to rest for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the Rosemary and Onion Sauce.





    In a small saucepan, melt the butter and cook the onions over a very gentle heat for about 5 minutes 鈥?it's important not to let them colour, so keep an eye on them. While that's happening, bruise the rosemary leaves with a pestle and mortar to release their oil, then chop them very, very finely and add them to the onion. Then continue to cook as gently as possible for a further 15 minutes, again, without letting the onions colour too much. Next, using a wooden spoon, stir the flour into the onions and their buttery juices till smooth, then gradually add the milk, a little at a time, still stirring, followed by the stock, bit by bit, whilst vigorously whisking with a balloon whisk. Now taste and season the sauce with salt and pepper and let it barely simmer on the lowest possible heat for 5 minutes. Next, remove it from the heat, then liquidise or process half of it, then return it to the saucepan to join the other half. Then re-heat gently, add the cr猫me fra卯che and pour it into a warmed serving jug. This recipe makes about 1 pint (570 ml) sauce

    2 tsp whole fennel seeds


    100m/3.5fl oz ricard


    2 tsp butter


    2 tsp flour


    salt and freshly ground black pepper





    You will need a large roasting tin for this recipe





    Method


    For the the lamb marinade:


    1. Combine the spices and moisten with wine vinegar.


    2. Rub over the lamb.


    3. Set aside in a cool place for 3-4 hours.


    4. Heat oil in a roasting tin until very hot.


    5. Add lamb to the tin with peeled garlic head and baste well with hot oil before and during roasting.


    6. Cook in a preheated oven, 200C/ 400F/ Gas 6, for about 1 陆 hours or until the meat juices run faintly pink when pierced.


    7. Continue to baste.


    8. Remove lamb from the tin and allow to stand whilst making the gravy.





    For the Gravy:


    1. Bring the brown stock, garlic cloves, green chilli, cinnamon stick and coriander seeds to a simmer.


    2. Put in the roasting tin that the lamb was in, over a medium flame.


    3. Pour in the ricard stirring well to lift any sediment from the bottom of the tin.


    4. Strain the brown spice stock.


    5. Add the strained spiced stock and bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.


    6. Meanwhile, roast fennel seeds on a heavy griddle or tawa until they darken and set aside.

    8. Stir the roasted fennel seeds into gravy.

    slow-roast leg of lamb


    2 tbsp olive oil


    2 kg/4lb leg of lamb


    2 tbsp plain flour


    2 onions, thinly sliced


    4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced


    75cl dry white wine


    600ml/1 pint chicken stock


    1 tsp dried oregano


    2 tbsp redcurrant jelly


    salt


    freshly ground black pepper





    Method


    1. Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3.


    2. Pour the oil into a large, sturdy roasting tin and set it over the hob.


    3. Season the lamb then roll it in the flour. Brown the lamb all over in the hot oil for 5-10 minutes.


    4. Add the onions and cook for a further 5-10 minutes, turning the lamb and stirring the onions until both are nicely browned.


    5. Add the garlic, white wine, stock, oregano and redcurrant jelly, bring to a simmer and cook in the oven for 3-3陆 hours, basting now and again with the liquor. There should be a good quantity of wine left in the bottom of the tin to serve with the lamb but if you feel it is getting too dry, just cover with foil.


    6. Take the lamb out of the tin and place on a large board to rest in a warm place. While the lamb is resting, sit the tin back on the hob and simmer the pan juices for a few minutes, reducing the liquid, if there is a lot, to make a tasty gravy.


    7. Cut the lamb into thick slices - you'll find the meat falls away from the bone so you may end up with more chunks than slices.


    8. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and the wine gravy
    Take a sharp knive and stab the flesh, insert a sprig of fresh rosemary into the stab hole and push it in as far as you can. Do this several times all over the leg/joint. Rub a little olive oil over the joint and place in a deep roasting tin. To prevent the leg burning to the pan you can make a bed of thick sliced potatoes which will taste delicious baked in the juices.





    Roast in the oven as per the normal instructions for lamb (which I think is 30mins per pound plus 30mins but check). Remove from the oven, cover with foil and leave to stand for 20 mins or so to relax.





    You should have a perfectly cooked, succulent, tasty roast lamb for your Easter dinner. Serve with the potatoes, steamed veg or whatever takes your fancy. Open a good bottle of red wine when you remove the roast to allow it to breathe and enjoy.
    Yeah if you like garlic. Make slits in the leg and insert slivers of garlic and rosemary bits. Plenty of both!! Oh what a difference. Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Does anyone have a good lamb stew recipe?

    I want one that I can prepare the night before then put in the oven to cook slowly for a few hours the next day.Does anyone have a good lamb stew recipe?
    I use a mixture of neck of lamb and lamb steaks to get a good combination of flesh and flavour.





    Brown the meat in a large pan and place in the casserole dish.





    Chop an onion, celery, potatoes and carrot and put them in the casserole together with salt and pepper and a handful of lentils.





    Using the fat in the pan, make the gravy using either lamb stock or vegetable stock. Add the gravy to the casserole dish and leave it to stand overnight.





    In the morning, you can remove the solid fat from the top of the stew and pop it in the oven until you need it at around 90-100C.





    You can also make this stew on the stove top - add the chops, stock and vegetables to the pan with some salt and pepper and simmer it for about an hour before adding the dumplings.





    Half an hour before you want to eat, transfer the casserole to a large saucepan and make some dumplings (half the amount of suet to SR flour, salt and water to make a dough. Roll into balls and sprinkle with flour).





    When the stew is boiling very fast, drop in the dumplings, leave to boil for about 5 minutes, reduce the heat and simmer for another 15 minutes until the dumplings are light and fluffy.

    A good irish stew....use a couple of neck chops and some diced lamb...brown the lamb in a pan and put in dish, add chopped carrots, onions, swede, a little celery, salt and pepper...but a little flour in the pan when you brown the lamb and this will help to thicken sauce....add some diced potatoes about an hour before serving....delicious.

    How do I prepare Lamb Vindaloo? I've tried a couple of recipes, but can never get to taste like a Restaurants

    Authentic Lamb Vindaloo





    Use freshly ground spices instead of premade spice mixes or curry pastes for a real authentic taste. Also, marinate the lamb at least overnight.





    Chili pepper was introduced by Portuguese trader during 16th century. With this came the creation of Vindaloo dishes in Goa. I believe that Vindaloo is the oldest dish using chili pepper in India. The only evidence I can provide is the time line when Portuguese traded with India and colonization of Goa by Portuguese and use of wine vinegar in the dish. You can use this recipe with mutton, beef, chciken or even eggs as well.





    Ingredients:





    2 lb lamb, cubed


    2 tablespoon coriander seed


    1 tablespoon cumin seed


    2 lb tomatoes, crushed


    14 garlic cloves, crushed


    6 bay leaves


    1 ginger (fresh), 2 inches, finely ch; opped


    1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground


    1/2 teaspoon cardamon seed


    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


    1/2 teaspoon cloves


    1/2 teaspoon cayenne


    2 teaspoon mustard seed, ground


    1 tablespoon turmeric


    1 cup wine vinegar


    2 medium onions


    2 medium potatoes


    2 tablespoon butter





    METHOD:





    Lightly roast the cumin seed and coriander seed by frying with no oil for a minute or so, stirring constantly. Grind these and combine them into a paste with the other spices, the garlic, ginger and the vinegar. Add the lamb to the marinade and mix well. Refrigerate for 3-24 hours while mixing every few hours as convenient.





    Finely chop the onions and potatoes and saute them for 5 minutes in the butter.





    Add the lamb and spice paste and simmer over low heat for half an hour. The marinating does add a lot of flavor and makes the meat much more tender.

    There could be a lot of things going on here.





    Maybe your restaurant ';Americanizes'; the vindaloo; I've been in many Indian restaurants and most either tame down the spicy Indian flavors or else they warn customers about the more challenging fare.





    Then again, maybe it's your ingredients. Try getting the spices from a shop that specializes in Indian products--if there's not one of those near you, try to find an ethnic foods shop for a nation near India...above all, understand that the curry powders, etc. sold in USA supermarkets will not be up to the task.





    Last possibility; your recipes are not the ones that you'd like. Google 'vindaloo recipe' and try several until you have the one that sings to you.How do I prepare Lamb Vindaloo? I've tried a couple of recipes, but can never get to taste like a Restaurants

    I am a former chef and have made various vindaloos many times, all those recipes are helpful, to your question was how to get the restaurant taste in the sauce and tenderness in the meat, one respondant said use fresh ground spices, that is a good start, vindaloo like filipino adobo needs a marinating for a few hours to have the flavours get into the meat.





    Most restaurants will use either shoulder or leg for the meat plus poach the meat like the chinese do an oil blanch for the foods, and they have all the ingredients ready cut and just do it at the last minute, but with lamb like pork it can be tricky.





    My best advice is to have all the ingredients ready par-cook the lamb, or brown it in a pan and let it simmer in a crockpot, this will give you a concentrate flavour and the meat will be tender, plus you can let it cook all day while at work or doing your daily involvements.
    It is all about confidence.


    Take any amount of spices you can lay your hands on. Ground them in vinegar. Add little sugar which will balance sour taste of vinegar and sharpen the taste of spices. Sugar also acts like a meat tenderizer. Add this to the meat you wish to use, Do not trim the meat (In fact add extra fat if you can) Keep the meat overnight and cook it the next day over slow fire for 2-3 hours. Cool it and keep. Use as and when necessary by warming just before serving.


    The idea is to dry out all the water and let the meat stand in fat so it can be preserved for a long time (week atleast) You may add little water when warming.
