Ground Lamb With Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a large frying pan or sauté pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot put in the cinnamon sticks and let them sizzle for 5 seconds. Put in the onions and stir and fry until the onion pieces turn brown at the edges. Add the ginger and garlic and stir for a minute. Add the lamb. Stir and fry, breaking up the lumps until the meat loses its redness. Add the yogurt, tomato puree, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and turmeric and stir for a minute. Add the salt, potatoes, and 2 cups water. Stir and bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat to low, and cook gently for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• In the meantime, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir lamb in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add onion, leek, and celery to the skillet and saute until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, chickpeas, cumin, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat; simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Return lamb to the skillet and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Pour lamb mixture into a baking pan. Mash the sweet potato in a bowl, stir in tahini and green onions, and spread on top of the lamb.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling throughout and top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 3 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 tablespoon ginger, 1 teaspoon garam masala, chili powder, paprika and thyme, 1/2 teaspoon coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, cumin and olive oil. Add lamb chops; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight., Place potatoes in a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker. Transfer lamb to slow cooker., Place tomatoes, broth, onion, and remaining garlic and seasonings in a blender; cover and process until blended. Pour over lamb and potatoes. Cook, covered, on low 4-5 hours or until meat is tender. When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones; discard bones. Shred meat with two forks. Strain cooking juices, reserving potatoes; skim fat. Return lamb, cooking juices and reserved potatoes to slow cooker; heat through. If desired, serve with rice and cilantro.

Steps:

• In a large skillet with a cover, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add onion and saute until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, 30 to 45 seconds. Break up lamb into small chunks and add to skillet; cook until meat is browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add vinegar, sambal oelek, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir gently to combine. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Stir in cilantro and adjust seasoning as desired. (Lamb filling can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day.)
• While lamb is cooking, place potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with cool water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until completely tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; let potatoes cool to room temperature. (Potatoes can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day.)
• Peel potatoes; using a masher or fork (or a ricer if you prefer a smoother texture), mash until there are no visible chunks left behind. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
• To assemble chops, take 3 or 4 generous tablespoons mashed potatoes in the palms of your hands and flatten into a disk. Put 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons lamb filling in the center, and fold the edges of the potato around it to form a patty 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. Transfer to a sheet of parchment; repeat with remaining potatoes and filling.
• Whisk egg in a small bowl. Spread out breadcrumbs on a baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush a patty with egg and coat evenly with breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. Repeat with remaining patties.
• In a nonstick or cast-iron skillet, heat 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-low. Cook patties in batches, adding more oil as needed, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• 2-3 hours before roasting, prepare the lamb. Use a small, sharp knife to make 15 to 20 incisions, each about 2 inches (5 cm) deep, through the fat cap on top of the meat. Thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic and use your fingers to press the slices into the incisions.
• In a blender, combine the remaining 9 garlic cloves, the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Blend until a paste forms.
• Spread the paste evenly all over the lamb. Let marinate at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Place the lamb on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and pour the wine into the bottom of the pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C).
• Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in the roasting pan and place the lamb on the rack on top. Roast for 2 hours, tossing the potatoes and basting the lamb with the roasting liquid halfway through.
• Transfer the potatoes to a platter, baste the lamb again with the remaining pan juices, and return the lamb to the oven. Continue to roast, basting often, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the leg reaches 130°F (for medium-rare), 45 minutes to 2 hours more, depending on thickness. (As a general rule, the lamb should roast 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare).
• Transfer the lamb to a platter and set aside to rest for 20 minutes. While the lamb rests, return the potatoes to the roasting pan, season with flaky salt, and warm in the oven until just heated through, about 20 minutes. Return the potatoes to the serving platter.
• Carve the lamb into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices and arrange on the platter with the potatoes, garnished with rosemary and thyme sprigs. Serve with whole grain mustard alongside.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Pierce the lamb all over with a sharp knife and push garlic halves into the holes. Rub the oil all over the lamb and season well. Scatter half the thyme on top, than place the lamb on a wire rack over a roasting tray. Roast for 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, in a small pan, bring the stock and butter just to the boil. Carefully lift out the lamb and wire rack. Tip the potatoes into the tray and pour over the buttery stock. Season and sprinkle on the remaining thyme. Mix everything well, shaking the tray until the potatoes are in an even layer. Place the rack and lamb back on top and cook for 1 hr.
• After 1 hr, increase oven temp to 220C/200C fan/gas 8 and remove the lamb. Cover loosely and transfer to a warm place to rest for 30 mins before carving. Continue cooking the potatoes while the lamb rests until they are golden and starting to crisp. Return the lamb to the top of the potatoes, pour over any resting juices and carve over the potatoes so all the juices fall onto them.

Roast until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer potatoes to platter. Continue to roast lamb until instant-read thermometer registers 130°F to 135°F when inserted into thickest part, about 15 to 30 minutes longer, depending on thickness. Transfer lamb to platter; let rest 20 minutes. While lamb rests, return potatoes to pan; warm in oven 10 minutes to heat through.
• Arrange potatoes and lamb on platter.
• What to drink:
• The 2006 Bonny Doon Ca' del Solo ($13, California), a fruit-forward Sangiovese, would be great with the lamb.
