Slow Baked Lamb Tastes Like Spit Roasted Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Place carrots and garlic in a roasting pan large enough for the leg of lamb. Place lamb on top. Pour in wine and lamb stock. Place roasting pan on the stove and heat over medium-low heat until liquid is boiling. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, using oven mitts to protect your hands, and place in the oven.
• Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium, about 7 hours. Remove from the oven.
• Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Transfer lamb into a second roasting pan.
• Roast lamb uncovered until skin is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest before slicing.
• While lamb is resting, pour cooking juices from the first roasting pan into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced into a gravy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Trim lamb of extraneous fat, but leave a thin layer of fat covering the meat (or ask your butcher to do this). Use a sharp paring knife to cut slits all over the lamb. Lightly salt meat on both sides and place in a large roasting pan. Mix together butter, cumin, coriander, paprika, pimentón and garlic. Smear butter mixture over surface of meat. Allow meat to come to room temperature. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Roast lamb, uncovered, for 30 minutes, until it shows signs of beginning to brown. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Continue roasting for 3 to 4 hours, basting generously every 15 minutes or so with buttery pan juices, until meat is soft and tender enough to pull away easily from bones and skin is crisp. If surface seems to be browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil and reduce heat slightly. In this case, remove foil, baste lamb and allow skin to crisp before removing from oven.
• Transfer lamb to a large platter or cutting board and serve piping hot. Encourage guests to tear pieces of lamb with fingers; alternatively, carve meat from bones and chop into rough pieces. Serve with cumin-flavored salt, harissa and warm chickpeas if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat a fan-forced oven to 170C (or 190C conventional).
• Grind salt, garlic, rosemary and peppercorns in a mortar and pestle to a rough paste.
• Add olive oil and oregano to the paste and mix well.
• Rub marinade into meat and place lamb in a ceramic baking dish.
• Add vinegar and water to the dish, cover with foil and bake for 2 hours.
• Remove foil, and increase heat to 220C and turn on oven grill. Brown meat for 3-5 minutes until crispy on top.
• Remove from the oven and shred meat into large chunks. Arrange on a platter and spoon over pan juices. Serve with lemon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 170°C/335°F (standard) or 150°C (fan).
• Place garlic, onion and rosemary in a metal roasting pan.
• Place lamb leg right side up in the pan. (Note 2).
• Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and rub it inches.
• Turn lamb over and place it so it mostly sits on the garlic and onion. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper, rub it inches (Video helpful here).
• Drizzle lamb with olive oil. Pour broth and water around the lamb - it won't cover it, that's ok, the lamb sinks into it. Cover with foil (don't use a lid, you want a bit of liquid to steam out).
• Place in the oven and roast for 4.5 hours. (See Notes for roasting time table).
• Remove from the oven, remove foil. Turn lamb over. Check it to ensure the meat is tender (pry a bit off with a fork). If not, return, covered, to oven.
• Return uncovered lamb to oven for a further 45 minutes or until well browned.
• Remove lamb, spoon over pan juices generously. Transfer to serving platter, cover loosely with foil while you make the gravy (stays warm for 1 - 1.5 hours).
• For gravy:.
• Use a large spoon to skim off some of the fat from the surface of the liquid.
• Place pan on the stove on medium high. When the liquid bubbles, add flour.
• Use a whisk to mix it in - this may take a few minutes as the liquid reduces.
• Once it looks like sludge (see video), whisk in 1/2 - 1 cup of water until it becomes a gravy consistency to your taste. Adjust salt and pepper to taste - I rarely add extra salt.
• Strain gravy into a bowl, pressing juices out of the onion etc.
• Pour gravy into jug.
• Recipe Notes:.
• 1. LAMB CUT: This recipe can be made with a leg or shoulder of lamb. Shoulder has more fat running through it than leg, so you can actually roast it uncovered (here's my Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder recipe), but this recipe will also work with shoulder. This recipe is designed for lamb leg because it's leaner, so it benefits greatly from slow roasting partially submerged in liquid so it doesn't dry out. Cooking it this way also infuses it with flavour.
• 2. The upper side of the lamb leg has more meat so we want to roast that partially submerged in the liquid for most of the cooking time. The upper side of the lamb is rounder and usually has more fat. The underside has less fat and is more flat.
• 3. TRY THIS WITH Truly Crunchy Roast Potatoes!
• 4. MORE ROAST LAMB: Ultra Tender Slow Cooker Roast Lamb, Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder, Classic Roast Lamb with Gravy (i.e. it's blushing pink inside) and Slow Roasted GREEK Leg of Lamb (delish lemon garlic flavours!).
• 5. Roasting Times (this cook method is pretty forgiving so round up to determine cook time e.g. if your lamb is 1.8kg, use the 2 kg cook times).
