5 Mouth Watering And Juicy Lamb Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF / 175ºC.
• Chop thyme, rosemary, and garlic together, then place in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, chilli powder, olive oil, and lemon juice; mix well, then set aside.
• If necessary, trim off some extra fat on the rack of lamb, then cut lamb into 4 pieces. (You can also ask your butcher to prep it for you!)
• Place lamb in the spice mixture, then rub the spice mixture onto the lamb using your hands, covering all sides. Cover and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large cast iron or skillet. Sear all sides of the lamb until meat is dark brown and crispy. When it's almost done, pour in red wine then remove from the heat.
• Roast the lamb in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145˚F / 63˚C
• Serve with roasted veggies.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Rinse the lamb and pat dry with kitchen towels.
• Peel the orange layer of rind from the orange, into strips about 2cm by 1cm.
• Cut a few of the garlic cloves lengthways into batons about 2mm across.
• Take a strip of orange peel, wrap it around a couple of the garlic batons and a few rosemary leaves. With a very sharp knife, make a deep whole in the lamb and push the parcel into the meat, deep enough so that you can't see it. (Don't be afraid here - the deeper it goes, the more the flavours will infuse).
• Repeat all over the lamb until you've used all the orange peel. Don't forget the underneath.
• Allow to rest for about an hour.
• With the flat of a knife, bash the remaining garlic cloves (unpeeled) and place them in the bottom of a roasting tray. Lay the remaining rosemary sprigs on top, then lay the lamb on these.
• Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juices and flesh over the lamb, rubbing it in, and add the extra orange juice to the pan.
• Pour over a good glug of olive oil, and season well with salt.
• Place, uncovered, in the oven and cook for 20mins.
• Reduce the temperature to about 350F and put a temperature probe into the thickest part of the lamb.
• Check occasionally and, if required, add a little water to the pan.
• Once the internal temperature reaches 130F, remove the lamb from the oven, put on a warmed plate and cover well, with foil and *plenty* of tea towels. Set aside.
• Put the roasting tray on the hob, over a medium heat, and add the red wine and stock cube. You may need to add more water here, depending on how much has evaporated in the oven.
• Reduce until thickened to a gravy consistency. Serve over your lamb, accompanied with roast potatoes and mint sauce.
