Preparation

How to prepare Roasted Lamb and Potatoes

To prepare the roasted lamb with potatoes, first place the pieces of lamb in a large bowl, squeeze the lemon juice making sure to remove the seeds 1, pour the white wine 2, the crushed juniper berries 3,

season with the crushed unpeeled garlic 4 and scent with bay leaves and sage 5. Let the meat marinate so that it becomes flavorful for at least 30 minutes. In the meantime, wash and dry the spring onion, trim the root base and cut it into strips lengthwise 6,

then divide them in half 7. Preheat the oven to 380°F in static mode and take care of the potatoes: rinse them well under running water 8 and dry them. Cut the potatoes in half 9

and place them in a slightly oiled baking dish 10, add the spring onion 11 and the lamb with the aromatics 12, excluding the garlic.

Further season the preparation with thyme 13 and rosemary 14, then cover with water 15,

season with olive oil 16, salt 17, pepper, stir to flavor and then bake in a preheated conventional oven at 380°F and cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, and only if the lamb should be cooked before the potatoes, you can cover the dish with a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent the meat from drying out too much. Once cooked, the roasted lamb with potatoes will be ready to be served hot 18.

How to store

The roasted lamb with potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a couple of days. You can freeze the lamb without the potatoes.

Tips

It is recommended to keep the gravy that may result "in excess" once the lamb is cooked, by filtering it and drizzling the meat before serving; this way, the lamb will be juicier. If, on the contrary, during cooking the liquid should dry out too much, add warm water as needed.

This dish can be enriched accompanied by a pilaf rice or by a green sauce based on mint by emulsifying the oil with fresh mint leaves with an immersion blender.
