How to Cook a Leg of Lamb | Jamie Oliver

[@devilishgenius]

I'm glad he showed a well done version. Coming from a west Indian family they would not touch anything pink

[@ruthnettles1677]

For real👍🏽

[@marvapickmac4888]

True , pink is seen as not properly cooked in the West Indies, so it is good to see the times for well done.

[@naiadbaksh3996]

I was just thinking this same thing 😂 my moms face: 🤢

[@warpigs707]

Same in the balkans...never seen anyone cook it anything but well done...as it should be

[@mpinto79]

Same from India as well anything pink is still raw

[@saminaraja3003]

You did a recipe a few years ago when you roasted it for 4 hours on 160 degrees Celsius (down from 220) in a covered pot. I've done that recipe so many times and it never ever fails. People just love it because you don't even need to carve the meet off the leg, it just falls off the bone. Always with rosemary and garlic, salt and pepper. Also, used anchovies in my pasta sauce today, just tomato pure, crushed tomatoes, garlic, oregano, the anchovies and some oil from the glass jar. Just perfect, no need for extra salt!

[@whativelearnedthisweek4518]

I just tried this at home and the results were amazing! I used a lot of thyme as well, it really gave a special touch.

[@bigbabo800]

That's great. I'm gonna add thyme to my too

[@robertwoodroffe123]

Who has grown to love Jamie ? He has matured so fn well ❤

[@mangalamusica]

Finally! A well done leg of lamb! In my family we cook it until the meat falls off the bone. Then we eat it with the slow cooked gravy. It’s less about the recipe and more about the technique.

[@KainyStyle]

How long do you cook? I've seen a 5 hour recipe and I'm wondering if it's too long.

[@soriavanwyngaardt16]

It looks fantastic. Our family tradition is to roast the prepared leg of lamb for sn hour on 209 degrees and then 5 hours on 150 degrees. It falls off the bone and amazing gravy. But I am going to try your way and then cover it in the gravy juices for a bit longer so as not to dry out. Love your cooking tips Jamie.

[@funkygh]

This is awesome. Gonna try it today. I'm so sick of stuffy recipes that say they're simple but end up not being. Thanks Jamie for your enthusiasm and clarity.

[@spartanthe300ththermopylae4]

@graham hawthorne drums have you tried it? If so, what was the result like? Thinking of giving it a go but perhaps leaving out the anchovies.

I had looked at several videos before this one and was still unsure and I'm a chef. I didn't know how I wanted to cook it, many videos were deboned leg of lamb. Brilliant, just brilliant!

[@kkjjqrysdgadff7782]

Mate, if you needed a Jamie Oliver video to learn how to cook a leg of lamb you're not a chef.

[@Andrew-eo2cw]

@@kkjjqrysdgadff7782 I was a chef in a seafood restaurant. We can't have all the skills. Sometimes we need to learn from people more experienced than ourselves and there is no shame in that.

[@davidsmith9826]

Attempting leg of lamb today and watched that old video yesterday Jamie did for leg of lamb. Perfect timing for an update to come out

[@ApostolosKatsioulas]

I believe rosemary is match made in heaven with lamb just like sage is with pork. When it comes to garlic there's no question to it. I have tried anchovies and it was really gorgeous. Last time I cooked lamb I did use sumac and it really turned out beautifully, it felt as if sumac was cutting the richness of the lamb; lamb can be too strong flavourwise at times. My grandparents used to make lamb on a spit roast for Easter and they used to season it with oregano and certainly salt when it was about to be consumed after letting it rest.

[@DebbieTDP]

I use sage rosemary and garlic with lamb. And white dry wine.

[@Boxer1250RT]

Awesome job recognizing that some cultures eat well done while some others prefer rare or medium rare.

[@nick260682]

Although we must also acknowledge the cultures that eat leg of lamb well done are simply wrong. May as well eat your own leather shoes.

[@rachh8449]

My roast with a 2kg lamb leg was super successful. All credit goes to Jamie Oliver.

[@derda3209]

[@wilhelmbittrich88]

Thanks, Jamie! I'm doing a leg of lamb for family Christmas this year. Can't wait to give this a go, Im sure the family will love it.

[@Dominic-cr4lu]

Same!

[@randyc7351]

Me too ! I got one from the local halal butcher. His farm is 30 mins from my house. Amazing quality

[@kgfdnpp]

Me too, I have just a hogget leg left from the half a lamb I bought from our local shepherdess so will prob do the medium cooked version but with a spice rub etc.

[@scottboulton796]

Same! Picked it up today, cant wait!

[@wilhelmbittrich88]

Update: Lamb came out great! The smell in my kitchen was amazing and the family loved it. I ended up going for the well done method of cooking it, as I wasn’t sure if everyone would enjoy a more medium rare or not. The exterior of the lamb was a little nice and crunchy.

[@nancysherburne7445]

Okay. I cook in America where we are out of step with most of the other countries since we use Fahrenheit, not Celcius. Nevertheless, I really appreciate how Jamie roasts three legs at different times. Some people still think pink lamb is unsafe and prefer it well done. I prefer it to be pink but perhaps would like a blush lamb better. Grouping three seasonings together and placing them inside a deep cut will flavor the interior of the leg beautifully. I am planning on a leg of lamb in December so I will bookmark this recipe and give it a try. KZbin offers so much for home chefs who enjoy watching a professional chef at work.

[@-_James_-]

When I roast lamb these days, I season it and wrap it tightly in foil. That goes in the oven at 180c for 30 minutes. Then I turn the temperature down to 90c for 11 hours. Remove the foil (keep the juices for the gravy), and return to the oven for a final blast at 180c.

[@robg6688]

Yep just did it. Came out perfect. I had the medium version in the oven for 1hr 30. And Jamie’s absolutely correct. The heat gets higher when you pull it out. It went from 70 to 76degC after 15mins resting.

[@jonathanheng6582]

Did this for new years lunch. But i kicked it up a notch by mashing some anchovies into the sauce. Was so good. Thanks Jamie

[@nicholasbrown29]

Just cooked this for my housemates and they loved it. Thanks Jamie!

[@craigmartin5939]

[@MaryLewis-z7d]

[@BrotherTree1]

Lamb and anchovies are a serious classic combination. It just adds that extra umami, meaty kick and I think it also helps to balance out any gamy harshness of the lamb, especially if there are those who aren't a fan of the gaminess.

[@Sniper5354]

The Chinese word 鮮 is an exact combination of the words fish and lamb. It describes a kind of saltiness and sweetness found in most shellfish. Scientifically it is the taste of glutamates.

[@moniquem783]

Soooo, if you are okay with the gaminess of lamb and decide to keep sheep and end up with a whole lot of mutton one day even though you’ve never tasted it, anchovies could be key to making the mutton taste more like lamb. Yes? And slow cooking so it’s tender of course. Hypothetical for now, but hopefully not for long.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

[@gregc1331]

The fancy joints do the pink. As a Greek growing up and roasting the whole lamb; some parts were medium, some well done and none of us kids ate the eyeball Papou was parading around with. Personally, I preferred the well cooked bits stuck with garlic and saturated in lemon.

That is just one of my all time favourites. Some good tips there. Wish you’d done the gravy at the end.

Would love to see a 10 hour at 100 degree comparison. Also a completely different lamb texture and flavor

[@SavannahVu1985]

I made a two kilo leg of lamb today at 120 degrees for 6 hours and then then turned it up to 230 (the max I could on my fan forced oven) to brown the outside and make it crispy (for approximately 20 min) & it was fall apart tender. Like pulled pork, but with lamb. I used a bed of garlic 🧄 so the lamb could lay on and heaps of spices plus a cup of white wine (it’s all I had) instead of using water. My family LOVED it. For a leg of lamb I believe slow cook is best because it can be very tough if u don’t cook it pink-ish. It’s either still pink or slow cooked, anything in between makes it a very tough cut.
