How to Cook a Leg of Lamb | Jamie Oliver

I have to appreciate the fact, that you've done 3 different legs to show us the difference.

[@gwenclark2234]

Everything is accurate and to the point!

[@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.

[@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.

[@lavalientezolo]

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!

[@kaymorrice8141]

Oh wow! I might try that 4 hr option today instead! Was it medium or well-done 🤔

[@akshaynand8132]

That's all time classic Jamie's preferred method of cooking leg of lamb. Beautiful ❤️😀

[@kensperspective]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how sharp this man’s knives are? Did you see the way he passed through that carrot like it wasn’t even there?

[@andrewengstrom1516]

This is the way.

[@frankmcpolin2635]

I thought the same, he's holding that carrot in mid-air and just casually moving his knife through it - mental!

[@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

[@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.

[@-_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.

[@derda3209]

I really like the demonstration with the three different stages

[@davidsmith9826]

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.

[@British_Cocoa]

“There’s a lot of cultures that embrace this” 😂Thats black people!!

@@spartanthe300ththermopylae4 I did it with the anchovies and it was great

[@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

[@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.

[@rachh8449]

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

[@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.

[@shahjehan]

Luv this video, come from a background of eating it well done

[@Andrew-eo2cw]

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!

[@Boxer1250RT]

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.

[@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.

[@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.
