Roast Lamb With Lamb Sausage Crust And Fresh Grape Pan Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Pour red wine into the roasting pan in which the Lamb was cooked.
• Place over medium heat, and scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan.
• Add stock and salt; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until liquid has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Skim fat from surface, as needed.
• Strain sauce into a gravy boat, and serve hot with sliced lamb.

Steps:

• Finely grind garlic and salt in processor. Place lamb, cut side up, on work surface. Sprinkle with pepper. Spread garlic-salt mixture evenly over lamb, then sprinkle with chopped rosemary. Roll lamb into its original shape. Using kitchen string, tie lamb roll crosswise every 2 inches, then tie lengthwise. Slide rosemary sprigs under string to cover both sides of lamb. Place lamb in 13x9-inch baking dish. Drizzle lamb all over with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Transfer lamb to large roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place reserved lamb bone alongside; pour 1 cup water into pan. Arrange lemon slices from 1 lemon atop lamb. Roast lamb 1 hour. Turn lamb over; pour 1 cup more water into pan. Continue to roast lamb until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F, about 1 hour longer. Transfer to cutting board; let rest 15 minutes. Add 1 cup more water to pan, scraping up browned bits. Pour pan juices into 2-cup measuring cup; spoon off fat and discard. Transfer pan juices and any accumulated juices from roast lamb to small saucepan. Bring juices to simmer. Season with pepper.
• Discard string and rosemary from lamb. Slice lamb; place on platter. Spoon pan juices over. Garnish with parsley and remaining lemon slices.

Steps:

• Remove thin fat covering from the roast. Make slits in meat; insert a garlic sliver in each. Place on a rack in a large roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 hours., Meanwhile, for plum sauce, in a medium saucepan, saute onions in butter until tender. Add the jam, chili sauce, grape juice, lemon juice and allspice; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. , Baste roast with sauce. Bake 1 hour longer, basting occasionally, or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium, a thermometer should read 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting occasionally with plum sauce. Bring the remaining sauce to a boil; stir in parsley. Let roast stand for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve remaining sauce with roast.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Use a small sharp knife to make about a dozen incisions, each about 2 inches deep, through the fat that covers the top of the meat. Using a mortar and pestle or a blender, blend 2/3 of the anchovies (or 2/3 of the mustard if using), the rosemary leaves and the garlic cloves into a chunky paste. Using your fingers, press paste deeply into incisions.
• Mix remaining anchovies (or mustard) and the butter into a paste. Smear this mixture all over the surface of the roast. Season liberally with black pepper. (Do not add salt; the anchovies are salty enough, and so is the mustard.) Place the lamb on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up, and squeeze the lemon halves over. Pour the wine around the roast into the pan.
• Roast 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and roast until internal temperature reaches 130 to 135 degrees (for medium-rare or medium meat), about another 60 to 90 minutes. Baste every 20 minutes or so with the wine and drippings in the pan, adding more wine as needed to keep the liquid from scorching. If possible, for the last 15 minutes of cooking, use convection or a broiler to crisp the fat on the roast.
• Remove pan from the oven, remove rack from the pan, and let the roast rest on the rack for at least 15 to 20 minutes in a warm place, tented with foil. The internal temperature will rise to about 140 to 145 degrees.
• To make sauce from the pan drippings, remove a few tablespoons of fat by tipping the pan and spooning off the top layer. Put the pan over medium heat until the liquid simmers. Taste the simmering liquid and whisk in more wine, 1/4 cup at a time, until the consistency and flavor are right. Do not let the mixture become syrupy; it should be a sharp jus, not a thick gravy.
• Carve lamb into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a heated platter, decorated with rosemary sprigs. Serve with piping hot gravy.
