Butterflied Leg of Lamb

Last weekend I saw a butterflied leg of land. Last night I did read up on lots of recipes. 
My version:
Calculate time for 4-5h of marinade
In a bowl mix for the marinade
  • 4 large cloves of garlic minced
  • juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/2 lime
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp of ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1/4 tsp of dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp of all spice
  • 2 fresh bay leaves (cut in half)
  • 3/4 tsp of roughly chopped rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
In a flat dish, lay down the lamb flat. Drip over all the marinade and cover the surface. Turn it over and cover the other side. Cover and put it in a fridge for 4-5 hours. Turn over 1x an hour. 
After 4h-5 hours, remove the dish from the fridge and let the meat come to room temperature. You may see the oil become liquid again. Turn it a couple of times during warm up.

Preheat the oven to 420F.
Grill on each side for about 10 minutes, depending on how thick the cut is.
There are may ways to serve lamb. I opted for grilled potatoes and a tomato salad.

Fun with Veggies

Image
I bought last week a few more things, thinking I can cook more meals and freeze them. Life had a different plan. I ended up with 1/2 celery root, leaks, plenty of tomatoes, red peppers. The original idea was to make Letscho . This is a pepper based with tomato dish, that can be a side dish or a sauce.   What my fridge had in mind: Veggies: 1/2 celery root 3 stalks of leeks 6 tomatoes 2 red peppers 1 large onion 3 stalks of regular celery Other things 3 tbsp of olive oil 4 cups water 3.5 tsp of Knorr chicken bullion 4 cups of tomato juice 1/2 tsp thyme 1 tsp of ground cumin 1 tsp dried smoked paprika 1/2 tsp of curry 1 pack of turkey sausage (optional) Clean and cut all the veggies into almost  equal pices. Slice the sausage into thin slices, but keep them seperate.  In a large pot add the olive oil and heat it up over medium heat. Add the onions. when it starts to get translucent add all the celery. Keep them over medium heat. Stir every now and then. After another 1...

Krustenbraten (Crust roast) 2.0

Image
My fridge was the home for 2 bottles of Guinness.  I had bought them for cooking some time ago. I don't drink Guinness. I don't like the muddy taste. I like Kilkenny a lot better. What do I want to do with that? Krustenbraten is made from pork shoulder with skin still on. For my version 2.0 I decided to variate things a bit. I did read about 10 recipes and that is what I came up with. Pork shoulder with skin on. The shoulder I found was bone in and pretty small already. I had the butcher cut it 1 more time, so I end up with food for about 2-3 days. The other piece went into the freezer.  1 large onion , coarsely chopped 3 carrots , peeled and chopped into pieces 1/2 celery root, cleaned and cut into pieces similar size to the carrots 2 bottles of Guinness (0.33l) 4 cups of veggie broth ( I used Better then Bouillon, 1 generous tbsp for 4 cups of boiling water ) 1 tbsp of tasteless veggie oil 1 tbsp yellow mustard 1/2 cup of water Salt, Pepper Wash the pork and then pad it dry....
