Roasted Lamb With Potato Onion And Tomato Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat a small roasting tin, and coat the lamb with 1 tbsp of the oil and some sea salt. Place the lamb, skin-side down, in the tin until the fat has turned brown, then sear all over. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the onion to the tin and cook for about 10 mins until soft. Stir in the potatoes, thyme, garlic and stock, and press down with a spoon. Put the lamb on top and roast in the oven for 25-30 mins until the potatoes are tender and the lamb cooked to your liking.
• Leave to rest under some foil for about 10 mins. Slice the lamb into cutlets and scatter with the reserved thyme sprigs. Serve with a spoonful of the potatoes and some simply cooked asparagus, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat half the oil in a pan and gently soften the onions and garlic for 15-20 mins until really soft and sticky but not browned. Put the onions, tomatoes (halve the large ones), herbs, sugar and breadcrumbs in a baking dish, season well and toss together.
• Drizzle with the remaining oil, scatter with a few more herb sprigs and bake for 1 hr until going golden on top and the tomatoes are juicy.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and place a rack at the middle level. In a large saucepan, combine onions and 2 tablespoons olive oil and stir to coat over low heat. Sprinkle lightly with salt. At a gentle simmer, cook uncovered until onions are softened and lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often. Do not brown; lower the heat if necessary. When done, fold in tomatoes just until heated through. Set aside.
• In a small food processor or a mortar, add the anchovies - anywhere from 6 to 12 fillets, depending on their size and your taste. Add garlic, herbs and a dozen grinds of pepper. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil (or use the oil from the anchovy can, if you like). Crush or pulse together into a chunky paste, thinning with oil as needed to make a loose, fluid mixture.
• In a medium-size baking dish, spread a quarter of the onion-tomato mixture. On top, arrange half the potato slices, then half the anchovy mixture. Add half the remaining onion-tomato mixture. Build one more layer with remaining potato slices, anchovy mixture and onion-tomato mixture. Sprinkle cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil.
• If the dish is very full, place on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and have absorbed all of the juices in the bottom of the dish, 40 to 50 minutes. Test by tasting a bit of potato; it should be soft all the way through, with no raw taste. If the top is browning too fast, cover very loosely with a sheet of foil. If the top is not brown enough when the potatoes are cooked, broil briefly until deliciously glazed.
• Serve gratin hot or warm. Can be cooled and reheated later the same day, but do not refrigerate.

Steps:

• Roughly chop strips of lemon zest. In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, garlic, and rosemary; whisk in oil. Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. Place lamb in a 1-gallon resealable bag and pour in marinade. Seal bag, pressing to remove as much air as possible. Turn bag several times to coat lamb in marinade. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour (or refrigerate overnight), flipping bag halfway through.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. (If lamb was marinated overnight, remove from refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking.) Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches; season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes.
• Remove lamb from marinade, letting excess marinade drip back into bag. Place lamb on a plate; season generously with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into a roasting pan; add potatoes. Cook 15 minutes. Push potatoes to edges of pan; place lamb in center. Roast 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 300 and cook until medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer should read 125 when inserted in thickest part of lamb), 1 to 1 1/4 hours, tossing potatoes halfway through.
• Tent pan loosely with foil and let lamb rest 20 minutes before slicing. Toss potatoes with pan juices and serve alongside lamb.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Using small sharp knife, cut 1-inch-deep, 1/2-inch-long slits all over lamb. Insert garlic slices into slits. Rub oil all over lamb. Mix thyme, savory, rosemary, salt and pepper in small bowl. Rub herb mixture all over lamb. Set aside.
• Generously butter large roasting pan. Combine potatoes, onions and stock in large pot (stock will not cover vegetables). Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are halfway tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer potato mixture to prepared pan; spread evenly in pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Place lamb in roasting pan atop potato mixture. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of lamb registers 130°F. for medium-rare, about 1 hour 50 minutes. Remove from oven. Tent with foil and let stand 15 minutes.
• Thinly slice lamb. Arrange lamb on large platter. Surround with potato mixture and any juices from pan and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare Lamb: Rub garlic paste all over lamb. Rub olive oil all over the leg, then generously season with salt and pepper. Set lamb aside at room temperature for 2 hours. Prepare Gratin: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Choose a baking dish large enough to hold lamb comfortably. Rub interior of dish with the cut side of a halved garlic clove. In the dish, place potatoes, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, garlic, and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Toss everything together and spread potatoes out in an even layer across dish. In a medium bowl, toss 2 yellow onions together with 1 teaspoon thyme , 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Evenly scatter onions over top of potatoes. Pour wine over vegetables. Place baking dish with gratin on lowest oven rack. If dish is not large enough to hold lamb and catch all drippings, place a baking sheet or piece of aluminum foil under dish. Place leg of lamb directly on rack above gratin and make sure baking dish is positioned so it catches all drippings. Roast 15 minutes, then lower oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue roasting lamb until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, about 1¼ hours. (For medium doneness, cook until temperature reads 135 degrees; for medium-well, 145 degrees.) Check gratin after 1 hour of cooking. If potatoes are fork-tender, remove gratin from oven. If the roast needs more cooking time, place (or leave) a baking sheet or aluminum foil on rack beneath lamb to catch drippings. Once lamb reaches desired doneness, transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes. While lamb and potatoes roast, make Salsa Verde: In a small bowl, mix parsley, mint, thyme, vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add more olive oil, vinegar and salt as needed. Serve lamb with gratin and salsa verde alongside.

Steps:

• Split 1 clove garlic. Rub bottom of 16x10x2 inch oval gratin dish with split clove of garlic. Arrange potatoes over bottom of pan. Chop together remaining 5 garlic cloves, and thyme. Season generously to taste with salt, pepper and 1/3 of garlic-thyme combination. Layer sliced onions on top. Season to taste with salt, pepper and another 1/3 of garlic and thyme. Layer peppers on top of onions. Season to taste with salt, pepper and remaining 1/3 garlic and thyme. Pour over wine, then oil.
• Trim excess fat from lamb. Season meat to taste with salt and pepper. Place sturdy oven rack directly on top of gratin dish. Set lamb on rack so that juices will drip into gratin.
• Roast, uncovered, at 400ºF about 1 hour and 15 minutes for rare. Turn lamb every 15 minutes, basting with liquid from dish underneath. Remove from oven and let lamb stand on rack so that juices will drip into gratin.
• To serve, carve lamb into thin slices and arrange on warmed dinner plates or on serving platter with vegetable gratin alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Rub bottom of 16x10 gratin pan with split garlic clove.
• Arrange potato slices in bottom of pan.
• Season with salt, pepper, some of the thyme and chopped garlic.
• Add a layer of onions and seasoning.
• Add a layer of tomatoes and seasoning on top.
• Drizzle with wine and oil.
• Trim the thicker portions of fat from the leg of lamb.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Place lamb on a sturdy cake rake directly on top of gratin pan.
• Roast, uncovered, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes for rare lamb (1 hour and 45 minutes for well-done); turning lamb every 15 minutes, basting with liquid from gratin pan.
• Remove from oven and allow to sit for 20 minutes before carving.
