• Rub the lamb with olive oil and sprinkle very liberally with salt and pepper. Sear the lamb in a heavy bottomed skillet. Transfer to a casserole dish.
• Add a little olive oil to the skillet, then add the onions. Cook until tender, then stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook until they start to become incorporated with the onions. Add the diced tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the liquid to the lamb casserole. Cover it and bake until the lamb is very tender, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
• Add the orzo and stir. Add some hot water if it starts to look dry and continue to bake, uncovered, until the orzo is cooked, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Serve pieces of the lamb alongside the orzo and top generously with your choice of cheese.

Steps:

• For the lamb: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Begin by unfolding the de-boned leg of lamb and placing in a large dish. Pour the lemon juice all over both sides of the lamb; this will help tenderize it.
• To a roasting pan, add the carrots, celery and onions.
• Place the garlic in a food processor and process until well chopped. Remove just under half of the garlic (about 4 cloves worth) and set aside for garlic butter. Add the rosemary and thyme leaves to the food processor and chop up well. Add the olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour the marinade over both sides of the lamb and massage it into the meat. Tie the lamb into a nice even shape with kitchen twine, and then place on the roasting pan on top of the vegetables.
• Place in the oven and roast until desired point of doneness (internal temperature should reach 125 degrees F for medium-rare), 3 to 4 hours. When done, let rest for 12 to 15 minutes before carving into slices (against the grain) for sandwiches. Season the slices with salt before serving.
• To make the jus, place the roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the reserved thyme and rosemary stems and stir. Pour in the white wine, scraping up the brown bits at the bottom of the pan, and bring to a quick boil. Stir in the chicken stock and simmer for a couple of minutes while the lamb rests. Strain the liquid into a saucepan and keep warm until serving.
• To make the garlic butter, place the reserved garlic in a small saute pan and set over medium heat. Add the butter and warm through. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes, and keep warm until just before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the sourdough loaf into 1-inch-thick slices and smear each slice of bread with the garlic butter. Place in the oven until toasted, about 10 minutes.
• To assemble the sandwiches, smear each slice of bread with a little Fresno Chili Mayo on both sides then layer with a good heaping of sliced roast lamb. Top with a scoop of Fennel Brussels Sprouts Slaw and place top slice of bread on to form a sandwich. To serve, dip the sandwich in the jus.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Spread the garlic and peppers on a small roasting dish and drizzle with a little olive oil. Place in the oven and roast the chiles until the skin blisters, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, place in a bowl and cover with plastic so the chiles sweat. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, and then carefully peel the skins off and remove the stems and seeds.
• In a blender, place the roasted chiles and garlic. Blend until smooth, and then add the egg yolks, lemon juice, sugar and some salt. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture emulsifies. Refrigerate the chile mayo until ready to use.
• Remove the core from the fennel bulb and finely slice with a sharp knife or a mandoline. Repeat the process for the red cabbage. Finely slice the onion and the Brussels sprouts. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, sugar and lemon juice. Whisk together and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the shredded fennel, chopped fennel fronds and shredded Brussels sprouts. Mix together well, and then cover and place in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes before serving so the vegetables soften and absorb the vinaigrette. Stir well before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Make sure the lamb is cleaned well and any hard fat is trimmed off. Make 8 slits in the leg and stuff them with the rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves. Rub the leg with the olive oil, dry oregano, lemon, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 30 minutes.
• Lower the heat to 375 degrees F. Add water to the pan, if needed. Cook for about 3 1/2 hours. Remove from the pan and let rest. Skim the fat from the pan juices and pour into a bowl with the fresh oregano.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rub the rack of lamb with mustard and coat with bread crumbs. In a medium saute pan, heat 1/2 cup of olive oil on medium high heat. Sear the lamb on both sides until golden brown. Place in the oven for about 8 to10 minutes. When the lamb is cooked to desired doneness, let rest for 10 minutes. Slice the lamb into 1-bone chops. Lay them against the potato salad with the bones up. Spoon the coulis around the plate and add the sliced scallions for garnish.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the potatoes in the olive oil, season with the salt, freshly ground black pepper and the thyme. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Pull the potatoes from the oven when they are golden brown, and let cool. In a small bowl, toss the potatoes with the pesto and chopped scallions. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Spoon onto a warm serving plate.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rub the pepper with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof skillet and place in the oven. Roast until the skin is evenly charred, about 20 to 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the pepper sit until cool enough to handle, 15 minutes. When pepper is cooled, peel and remove the stem and seeds. Place the pepper flesh in a blender. Add the remaining olive oil and water and puree until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add more water or olive oil if the coulis is not the right consistency.

Steps:

• Combine the canola oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic and some salt and pepper and rub all over the leg of lamb. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Roast the lamb until the internal temperature has reached 135 degrees F (for medium-rare), 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. Let rest 20 minutes. Toast the baguette. Slice the lamb and place on the baguette along with some Harissa, Saffron Aioli and Fennel Seed Slaw. Cut into 8 portions and serve.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roughly chop the peppers, tomatoes, carrots and celery. The garlic can be cut in half and added without peeling the cloves. Add the chopped vegetables, garlic, vegetable oil, parsley, thyme and salt to a large braising pan. Roast in the oven for 1 hour, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes. Add the tomato paste and 2 cups water. Continue cooking, stirring and adding 2 more cups water, until the vegetables are very tender, 2 more hours. Remove from the oven and pass through a food mill. The harissa may be divided into 1/2 cup dollops and frozen on a cookie sheet.
• Combine the garlic and salt in a food processor until they form a paste. Add the egg yolks, harissa, lemon juice and saffron tea and combine. Slowly add the canola oil, with the food processor running, until the oil has been emulsified.
• Combine the mayo, cabbage, onions, parsley, vinegar, fennel seeds and sugar. Season with salt.

• Rub lamb with olive oil and lemon juice; season with rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic.
• Place in oven, reduce heat to 350F and rost lamb for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 175-180°F.
• To add the optional potates, about 40 minutes before lamb is done, peel and quarter 6 large potatoes and place them around the lamb. Sprinkle with additional lemon juice, salt, pepper and oregano to taste.
• After 20 minutes of baking, turn potatoes over to brown other side.
• Continue roasting until potatoes pierce easily with a fork.
• Let lamb stand 20 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Pat the pieces of lamb dry with paper towels and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• In a heavy saucepan or casserole, gently sauté the garlic and rosemary in the oil over medium-low heat until the garlic is soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add the seasoned lamb, raise the heat to medium, and turn the lamb pieces, stirring constantly, until they have browned thoroughly on all sides. Add the wine, let come to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half.
• Stir in the olives and the dissolved tomato paste, mixing everything together, then cover the pan and continue cooking on very low heat for about 1 hour, or until the sauce is very thick and the lamb is cooked through. Check the sauce periodically and add more wine or water if it seems necessary.
• When the lamb is done, serve it immediately, accompanied by polenta, if you wish.
