Grilled Lamb Potato Crush Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Season lamb generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, garlic and anchovy (or pound together in a mortar for a smoother texture). Stir in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Smear lamb all over with marinade and set aside.
• Meanwhile, boil potatoes until the tip of a paring knife meets no resistance, 10 to 15 minutes depending on size. When potatoes are done, drain, transfer to a roasting pan large enough to hold them in a single layer, and set aside to cool.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. With palms or the back of a wooden spoon, crush potatoes gently to crack open and slightly flatten. Sprinkle with salt, drizzle with about 2 tablespoons olive oil, and turn to lightly coat.
• Lay lamb racks on top of potatoes, with bones curving downward. Scatter rosemary over meat and potatoes. Roast, uncovered, until a meat thermometer registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare), about 20 minutes. (Cook to 135 degrees for medium.)
• Remove lamb to a cutting board and let rest, tented with foil. Return potatoes to oven and leave to roast 10 to 15 minutes more, until nicely crisped.
• Use a large chef's knife to slice the racks by cutting between the bones. (One rack will yield 4 thick chops or 8 thin ones). Transfer chops and potatoes to a warm platter, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a metal blade add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, cayenne, and salt. Pulse until combined. Pour in olive oil and pulse into a paste. Rub the paste on both sides of the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator and allow the chops to come to room temperature; it will take about 20 minutes.
• Heat a grill pan over high heat until almost smoking, add the chops and sear for about 2 minutes. Flip the chops over and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes for medium.

Steps:

• Make a dressing by mixing together the mustard, vinegar and honey. Spread ½ tsp over each steak and season well, reserving the remaining dressing. Tip the breadcrumbs out onto a plate and sprinkle over the lemon zest. Dip the steaks in this until coated. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and, when hot, cook the lamb until crisp and cooked through, about 7 mins on each side.
• Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in salted water for about 10 mins until soft, adding the broccoli for the final 5 mins of cooking. Drain and roughly mash together. Serve alongside the lamb with the leftover dressing drizzled over.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the spices with a generous pinch of salt, then coat the lamb in the mix. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan. Sizzle the lamb, fat-side down, for 5 mins. Flip the lamb, then put the shallots, cut-side down, in the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 10 mins for pink lamb, or 15 mins for medium. Remove the pan from the oven, then leave to stand for 5 mins.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes on to boil and simmer until just cooked. Drain, then gently crush with a potato masher. Add the spring onions and lemon zest, season, then keep warm until ready to serve.
• Remove the lamb and shallots from the pan. Stir the capers, mint, lemon juice and a splash of olive oil (if needed) into the lamb juices to make a dressing. Slice the lamb and separate the shallots into layers. Spoon the potatoes onto warm plates, add slices of lamb and some shallots, then spoon over the dressing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, mustard, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir the potatoes into the bowl to coat with orange juice mixture. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, and place them into a large roasting pan.
• Cut slits into the lamb meat, and stuff the garlic cloves into the slits. Rub remaining orange juice mixture from bowl all over the lamb, and place the lamb on top of the potatoes in the roasting pan. If there's any remaining orange juice mixture, pour it over the lamb.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the lamb is cooked to medium, about 1 hour. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Check every 30 minutes while roasting, and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot water if you find the potatoes are drying out. If the lamb finishes cooking before the potatoes, remove the lamb to a cutting board or serving platter and cover with foil while the potatoes continue to bake in the oven.

Steps:

• First of all confit the garlic. Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/ gas 5. Separate and peel the cloves. An easy way to do this is by putting each clove flat on a board, place a large, heavy knife flat on top and smash down with your clenched fist. This loosens the skin. Then trim the root ends.
• Heat 4 tbsp olive oil in a small frying pan, cook the garlic until golden brown, then transfer to a small roasting dish, add some salt and 1 sprig of thyme and roast in the oven for about 10 mins until softened. Remove and cool; leave the oven on to roast the meat.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Tip in the potatoes and mint and leave to simmer for 15 mins until the potatoes are just tender. Drain and discard the mint. Leave to stand for 10 mins until potatoes are cool enough to handle, then, using a small, sharp knife, peel off the skin.
• Return the potatoes to the pan and, using a large fork, roughly crush. Mix in about 3 tbsp olive oil, the capers, chopped anchovies, olives and 3-4 confit garlic cloves. Crush again with the fork. Chop the chervil or parsley and mix in along with some seasoning. Set aside and keep warm.
• Trim any excess fat from the top layer of lamb, leaving a little on for cooking. Score the top in a criss-cross using a sharp knife. Season well. Heat a heavy based non-stick pan until very hot, add 2 tbsp of oil, then cook the lamb, fat-side down. Sauté well and turn on all four sides until nicely browned all over (about 4 mins) then remove from pan.
• Arrange the remaining thyme and the rosemary in a roasting tray (or into the frying pan if it is ovenproof) to make 4 piles. Place a piece of lamb on top of each one. Roast in the oven for 15-20 mins until cooked to medium, then let the meat rest for 5 mins.
• To serve, spoon a portion of potato onto each plate. Arrange the tomatoes, courgettes and beans around it or just a simple salad, if you prefer. Slice the lamb on the diagonal, fan out on top, then drizzle with any meat juices. Top each piece of lamb with some more confit garlic.

Steps:

• Chop the courgettes into large chunks, then boil or steam until tender, about 5 mins. Tip into a colander and lightly press out as much liquid as possible using a potato masher or fork, then chop the courgettes into smaller pieces.
• Heat the oil in a pan, add the garlic and tomatoes, then fry briefly until the tomatoes are just softening. Stir in the courgettes and heat through, then add the chopped parsley or coriander and stir through. Keep warm.
• Season the lamb steaks and grill for 3-4 mins each side. Serve with the tomato & courgette crush on the side.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 15 mins or until tender. Meanwhile, heat the grill or a griddle pan. When the potatoes are almost ready, season the lamb steaks, rub with a little oil, then griddle or grill for 3-4 mins on each side until they are cooked to your liking, adding the tomatoes halfway through until juicy and bursting.
• When the potatoes are ready, drain well, then return to the pan and gently crush with a fork or potato masher. Stir through the hummus, olives and parsley, then season well. Serve the crushed potatoes with the lamb and the tomatoes.
