How To Cook The Perfect Leg of Lamb | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@KuyaEnan]

Chef Jean-Pierre deserves 20 million more subscribers. Chef JP is not a traditional chef that you watch on TV or KZbin. Chef JP is just literally teaching you how to cook and don't care what the food should taste like. The important is you are satisfied to the taste of your food. Delicious is a very broad word. You don't need to replicate recipes. Have your own version that will satisfiy your taste buds.

[@candacewilliams6869]

Looked up this recipe for leg of lamb for Easter dinner. Did my version, covered the lamb with garlic infused olive oil and laid it on a bed of herbs then laid more on top of it. Cooked at 375 F. Made luscious lamb gravy with the drippings while the roast rested. Really, really, really turned out well!! Thanks for the coaching!!

Really bad day watch Chef JP. brings smiles right back to me!

[@hnlcontracting]

So glad I found this yesterday. Ive had my Leg of Lamb locked down for a while now but the way you tied it... awesome! I will do this everytime now! Thank you JP!

[@glennvonmeerskie4206]

10:02 is great life advice as well. I love the golden grains of philosophical wisdom he casually strews around. Love you, chef!

[@BebeMischa]

Just made this. Added a bit of walnut too. Jean-Pierre, we do love you so much! And our neighbor, who has no penny to spend got a dish too. And now he loves you also. Every time I cook with you, we get an incredible dish. I hope, you never stop making video's. 😙

I have made so many of your recipes over the past year, with great success. Thank you for all you do here, and I hope you and your family enjoy HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Chef, it's always a pleasure learning from you. Watching as you adjust either ingredients or appliances, you've taught me that adapting is part of cooking. Thank you chef you are a gentleman.

[@toriless]

Every day it is different

[@charlieweinstock2136]

Thanks Chef! Some of my fondest and earliest culinary memories are of my grandma's leg of lamb. My family's not big fans of lamb (don't ask me) but it's on sale this week so I will follow your lead and make one for me! Thanks again Chef. You're the best.

[@stevieg4201]

I made this recipe today,exactly as you did, it’s a absolutely amazing, the flavors of the pesto match the flavors of the lamb perfectly, I made steak fry’s cooked in duck fat to go with this, unbelievable explosion of flavors, I took it out at 132* degrees and let it rest for 45 minutes, really perfect. Thanks again chef for another fantastic recipe, you’re ways are so good, I really enjoy making your recipes. Where is your Mom from in Italy? I’d love to see a few more classic Italian recipes. God bless you my friend. 🇮🇹😎🇮🇹

[@johnrackiewicz286]

One my personal all time favorites. Very similar to the way my grandmother did it. These days I like to Butterfly the leg and shmere the glaze inside, I lightly cook the garlic first .After tying it up with no glaze outside, a quick olive oil rub with S&P, sear on the grill or in a cast iron grill pan, and then into the oven . The real time meat thermometer is perhaps the best tool ever for anyone who cooks beginner to my level , home chef, to even Pro as Jean-Pierre shows. With this tool It is really hard to mess it up.

[@mikemoran5003]

Don't just smile a little smile, do what the chef suggests: "Rub a little rub." That's (one reason) why we love this guy !!!

Great job JP showing how simple it is to roast a leg of lamb. We always said “cooking is so easy”. You are blessed as the one to show the subscribers how easy it really is!! Be well over the holiday my friend!

[@oliviermancy4676]

My sunday's favourite meal with flageolet beans. My very french mother would cook it very rare so the 'well done lamb' part of the family of six was anxious to grab the 'souris', the bottom bulby part (and more cooked) of the leg. The garlic digged in the meat is a must do 'my friends'! The coating can make it a masterpiece. I must say, from France, that when I check a recipe from Jean-Pierre I rediscover old techniques but above all I feel the need to eat any dish he shows asap.

[@nolitetebastardescarborund9761]

The "souris" is the shank, the most cooked part. That's what I buy, as I live alone & don't always have a huge appetite.

[@marycannon6046]

Chef Jean-Pierre, you are an absolute answer to many of my culinary prayers!!! I have always wanted to learn how to properly cook a leg of Lamb!!!

Jesus is the reason . I do not attend Mass but I try to honor the Ten Commandments. Merry Christmas.

[@FifthKnowledge]

@@mikewallace8087 Actually, Winter Solstice is the reason. It was an ancient Celtic holiday long before Christianity was invented that worshiped the sun's eventual return in the Spring during the shortest light day of the year, December 25th. Pagans wouldn't stop doing the holiday, so Christians renamed it Christmas once they took over. That being said, love, happiness, and gratitude are all excellent values to adhere to in any case.

@@lisabishop133my family have always excepted that lamb does not taste good. Lamb is something that I have only ate a few times in my life. I always say who would want to eat grey meat. But the legs were on sale and I decided to cook it myself. I followed instructions off a KZbin video for the reverse sear and I cooked it for 6 hours. It came out very pink and juicy. I found it hard to make a plate. I just wanted to keep slicing and eating lol. Turns out lamb is delicious but my family cooked it too long. No more grey meat ever again. 🙂

[@craigmetcalfe1749]

Hey Chef! Merry Christmas from Down Under to you and yours. Lamb is very popular in Australia. We usually do the incisions into the leg meat and insert garlic, rosemary and anchovy. The marinade that you have added, we usually do to a rack of lamb with an addition of bread crumb (sourdough is my favorite). I have also done lamb in a Greek style using acidic white wine like Retsina, Preserved Lemon and then wrap the lot in baking paper to infuse the flavors, then brown the meat in the last half hour. Congratulations for resting your lamb to get a consistent color across your slices. This is more important than whether you like it rare or well done. I am happy that I live where I do because living in California meant that I was paying top dollar for my lamb. Stay safe Chef and I look forward to your 2023 recipes. Cheers!

Greetings Chef! I have to thank you for this video. My wife and her Mom used to place the leg of lamb into the roasting pan as they purchased it from the grocery store. Now you talked about this flap of meat and I’m not seeing any flap of meat, it’s one solid mass. You also talked about the leg of lamb being deboned. Hmmmmmm………. So I start wiggling things around and I found the joint. So, I start cutting this bone following the bone down to the joint. Ah Ha! So now I have removed the femur (?) and I have the flap of meat you showed. I’m one for seasoning but my wife grew up with no seasoning and I’ve got to say I really enjoy the taste of lamb as is. So, thank you for this educational video.

You keep putting recipes out that inspire me to create them. I love lamb, but haven't had it in years. Now I'll have to make it. I always did the garlic thing, but the "pesto" is new to me.

Hi Chef! I always enjoy watching you cook, and have learned many tips and tricks from you. (I also really enjoy your sense of humor!)

I wish I would have paid closer attention when my grandmother was preparing this meal, as it was definitely one of my absolute favorites. It would've been nice to carry on the tradition. My question is ... could you please give us some creative ideas on what we could do with the bones after the majority of the meat has been cut away? I'm thinking that with something that tastes this good, there must be some fabulous way to utilize the bones to make yet another amazing concoction.
