I wanted to have Jake grill lamb lollipops to serve with my Spiced Beet-Apple Chutney, but the weather was not cooperating and my husband flat out said, "nope, I am not grilling in the rain." On to Plan B: a roasted leg of lamb, rubbed with a minced garlic-shredded beet-oregano-ancho chil powder mixture.
I rubbed the leg of lamb with the mix above and let it marinate for four hours in the refrigerator. Then I let it come to room temperature while I heated the oven.
Never having roasted a leg of lamb, I did some reading and decided to try the sear-slow roast method. So it went into the oven at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Then I reduced the heat to 350 degrees and cooked it for an additional 15 minutes per pound. It was a four pound roast, so it was another hour or so.
Then I pulled it out of the oven and let it rest before carving. I served it sliced with sauteed beet greens and the chutney.

This looks fantastic! Can't wait to try it on some lamb I have in the freezer. Thanks for linking up to HOMM!
ReplyDeleteWow... I love lamb but either usually use orange juice marinade, or mint jelly. What a great idea, thanks!
