2038.0. "LAMB LEG W/MARINATED ARTICHOKES" by CHIPS::URBAN () Fri Oct 13 1989 11:06

    
    
    Here is the way I learned to make roast leg of lamb from
    my grandmother.  It is really quite delicious.  Sorry
    that I don't indicate exact ingredients with this recipe,
    but when you learn to cook from your grandmother, it's
    kind of like flying by the seat of your pants.
    
    INGREDIENTS:
    
         1.  One leg of lamb, with bone removed. (Preferably
             by your butcher.
    
         2.  Two jars or cans of marinated artichoke hearts
             (Don't get the ones that are canned in water!)
    
         3.  Two or three cloves of fresh garlic.
    
    
    Fill the space left by the removal of the leg bone with
    the artichoke hearts.  
    
    Do not discard the marinating liquid.  Reserve to pour
    over the lamb later.
    
    Chop up the cloves of fresh garlic and put them in along
    with the hearts.
    
    Tie up the leg with some twine (Like in a rolled roast)
    
    Pour the reserved marinade over the lamb.
    
    Oven roast according to temperature and time appropriate
    to the weight of the leg of lamb.
    
    
    This is so simple and very good!

2038.1helpful roasting hintsHITPS::NADWAIRSKIThu Nov 16 1989 10:0713
    You might want to try some of the following hints.
    
    	1.  when roasting a piece of meat in an oven it ts best to place
    	    the meat in a pan just barely big enough to hold it.  Then on
    	    the bottom of the pan place a layer of artichokes and mirepoix.
    	    On top of this place the roast.  When adding the sauce make
    	    sure it does not cover the bottom of the roast!  This will 
    	    prevent the flavor of the mirepoix and sauce rising back into 
    	    the meat once it has begun to bleed(ie. create its own sauce)
    
    	2.  To help hold in the juices of any roast while it is cooking it
            is best sear the peice of meat beforehand in a sufficient 
    	    quantity of butter.  then place it in its roasting pan.
2038.2How about grilling it?DEMON::DEMON::COLELLAMan, I'll tell ya...Mon Aug 03 1992 21:057
    Any suggestions as to how to make this recipe on the grill?  I'm
    thinking of making it for a barbeque on Sunday, but I'm not sure how I
    should cook it if I made it on the grill.
    
    Thanks,

    	A little late, but de-bone the lamb, rub with spices and place on a 
    	rotissery.  Cook with medium heat for approx. 1/3 hour per pound
    	for rare?  Just a guess.

    Sounds great, but I don't have a rotisserie.  :-)
