Leg of Lamb
Hi All,
Okay, Raley's had a boneless New Zealand leg of lamb on sale and I could not resist. I have always loved lamb, but I have a problem. I have always loved "everyone else's" lamb and hated my own. My available cooking pots are my pressure cooker and my saute pan (doubles as a frying pan). I do not think the lid would close in my saute pan on this piece of meat. I have no access to an oven or a barbecue. Do I cook Leg of Lamb like (beef) sirloin roast (33 minutes on second ring) or like an old buzzard roast (rump roast, old shoes), meaning Falls Apart (99 minutes on the second ring)? My Sirloin roasts do come out well in the pressure cooker. What seasonings would you use? (I am really fond of Greek food, if that helps.) I really do not want to ruin $17 dollars in lamb. How would you guys cook and season this? And, the love of my life really does not like the "gamy" taste of lamb. I want to convert her. (I hate the gamy taste of venison myself, so I can not blame her.) Many thanks, -T |

Hi Bjørn, Do I brown on all sides first? Is this also called "searing"? Or is it okay, to shove the garlic in before browning? (Seems like if having to do it afterwards, I'd have to wait for the meat to cool to keep from burning myself?) Also, would you cram any rosemary in the holes as well? Would you use rosemary sticks or crushed rosemary? Thank you for the tips! -T Garlic is proof God loves us. Not beer, with gave us agriculture, carbs, and T2. (Just being silly.) |

Hi Susan, My wife can't stand the gamy taste either. Is it the lemon that is neutralizing it? Is there a difference between "Greek oregano" and the oregano I purchase at Trader Joe's? Is the smashing to remove the skins of the garlic enough? Is there any particular ratio of lemon juice to Olive Oil? Or are the rules, just have fun? How long do you soak for? Aren't all olive oils called Extra Virgin? (I like the organic Italian EVOO from Trader Joe's.) I know it means the first squeeze, but is that not just a marketing term? Never seen a non-EV olive oil for sale. (But, I have never looked that hard. I my younger years, I use to try and find the stinkiest olive oil I could get from Trader Joe's -- meaning the cheapest. My tastes have changes somewhat since then.) As you can tell, I really, really don't know what I am doing. I really appreciate the help! -T |

That saves having to drag hot, raw meat out and letting it cool down. Not to mention the raw meat cleanup. -T |
