Roast leg of lamb with basil & mint pesto recipe | BBC ... image

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Total Time 2 hours

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours 45 minutes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2kg lamb leg, skin scored (see tip)
fresh garden herbs , to serve (optional)
sliced lemon , to serve (optional)
1 small garlic clove , roughly chopped
small pack basil , leaves only
small pack mint , leaves only
25g pine nuts
25g grated parmesan
125ml extra virgin olive oil
juice 0.5 lemon

Steps:

  • First, make the pesto. Put all the ingredients (except the olive oil and lemon juice) and a pinch of salt into the small bowl of a food processor. Pulse until very finely chopped. While the processor is on, drizzle the olive oil in to make a paste. Tip the pesto into a small bowl and stir in the lemon juice.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the scored lamb leg in a large roasting tin and use half the pesto to generously coat the skin and flesh, pressing it between all the cracks for extra juiciness. Put the rest of the pesto in the fridge, covered with cling film, and remove just before serving.
  • Roast the lamb for 1 hr 45 mins. Check during cooking that it’s not drying out – if the base of the roasting tin starts to look dry, spread a little more pesto over the top of the lamb.
  • Remove the lamb from the tin, cover with foil and leave to rest for 30-40 mins before serving on lemon slices and fresh garden herbs, if you like. Carve at the table and serve with the remaining pesto to drizzle over.

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB WITH PESTO RECIPE - NYT ...



Grilled Butterflied Leg Of Lamb With Pesto Recipe - NYT ... image

Provided by Robert Farrar Capon

Total Time 40 minutes

Yield 6 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 butterflied leg of lamb (from a 9- or 10-pound leg)
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon, or more as needed
1 or 2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper as desired
3 to 4 tablespoons pesto

Steps:

  • Place lamb in roasting pan. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper together and pour over lamb. Turn lamb in the pan several times to coat it with the mixture and allow it to marinate several hours at room temperature. Turn occasionally.
  • Preheat broiler. Broil the lamb (in the same pan) 10 minutes on one side and 10 minutes on the other, adding a little water to the pan from time to time to keep the bottom from scorching. Remove the pan from the broiler and brush the lamb on both sides with pesto.
  • Before returning the pan to the broiler, insert a meat thermometer. Continue broiling until the thermometer reads 140 degrees.
  • When lamb is done, remove the pan from the broiler. Brush the serving platter with a little pesto, place the lamb on it and sprinkle the lamb with lemon juice and salt to taste. Let rest in a warm place 5 minutes, slice thin and serve with some of the juices in the platter.

  • 1. Halve any larger potatoes, then cook in a pan of boiling salted water for 15 minutes, or until tender, adding the peas to the party for the last 3 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, rub the lamb all over with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Starting fat side down, sear the lamb in a non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat for 10 minutes, turning regularly until gnarly all over but blushing in the middle, or use your instincts to cook to your liking. Remove to a plate to rest, then, with the frying pan on a low heat, make a liquor by stirring in a splash of water and a little red wine vinegar to pick up all those nice sticky bits, leaving it to tick away slowly until needed.

    3. Drain the potatoes and peas, tip into the liquor pan, pick over most of the basil, add the pesto and toss it all well. Serve with the lamb, sliced thinly, then pour over the resting juices. Pick over the remaining basil leaves, and tuck in. 

    Tips

    Easy swaps:

    • You could use lamb chops, beef fillet, chicken breasts or any other prime cut.

    • Swap out the peas for broad beans or even sliced asparagus.
