Roast Leg of Lamb | Christine Cushing

[@Vyrrk]

My Mom and Yaiyia have passed away over the last few years... and most of their recipes have gone with them. Your channel has helped so much in recreating the Greek flavors I grew up with. Thank you!

[@ChristineCushing]

That is so amazing to hear. Food connects us both to our own past and to others around the world. These recipes must be shared. 😀

I am so happy to have found your channel on KZbin, I used to watch Christine Cushing Live religiously back in 2003/2004. You are a great teacher, thanks for sharing your passion for cooking!

[@ChristineCushing]

Oh thank you so much . CClive was so much fun for all of us producing it , so glad you enjoyed watching. Welcome to my channel and we"ll be having fun here too.

[@nickpham1981]

I tried your recipe today for New Year and oh my .... so yummylicious!!! thanks for sharing lamb leg \Greek style love love...

[@ChristineCushing]

That is fantastic to hear ! Happy New year !

[@lillianamerler9151]

This was the best leg of lamb I have ever had. The meat was so tender, so flavourful, it just melted in your mouth. Thank you Christine Cushing for this great recipe. Look forward to seeing more of your exquisite recipes and videos. Cheers!

[@tomhoffman5462]

Just ordered my leg for this Easter, which will be the third time with this recipe. However this year, I will be smoking it using plum wood! Thanks again, Christine!

[@louiselove8212]

Thank you. You cook with passion. Hope to try this recipe soon. Happy Easter Jesus Christ is risen ~ Shalom!

I love lamb. I am Italian and we have do it exactly the same way. Our cultures are almost the same. If I can find it at my market, it's what's for dinner Sunday. Thanks for the idea.

[@ChristineCushing]

It's so true. Greeks and Italians are soo similar. Thank you and glad you enjoyed it.

Mediterranean culture 😊 Cypriots, Croatians, Turks etc. make this way, too.

[@dg20012000]

Followed this recipe for guests over last weekend, I made two legs at the same time and this recipe is by far the best one for roasted lamb leg ❤❤❤

[@ChristineCushing]

How fantastic ! I hope you try my latest recipe of orzo with feta and spinach.

[@jjpp2216]

I’m so glad someone introduced me to this channel. CC has always been a great chef. I love how she doesn’t just measure and instruct. Instead her no-recipe recipes explain how to judge things and vary accordingly, depending on your taste and pantry availability. And it’s so great to see someone acknowledging the negative (quarantine) and meeting the challenge, exploring things a bit differently.

[@ChristineCushing]

Thank you for your thoughts and glad you are responding to my videos. I always love to take you beyond the recipe to ask those questions and put you in charge of what to look for . There are so many variables and the recipe is just a starting point. See you in the kitchen for more..

[@dmac7406]

Yes I keep my pantry stocked it's cheap to maintain and gives you the ability to make thing's be taste way better dry seasonings ,and herbs always stocked up also got to have olive oil ,flour , butter and a few fresh veggies onion and such at all times you know this way when you go fridge surfing 🌊 you can be like I have a couple chicken breast or couple chops or something else you can make something happen .

Thank you Christine for the Wonderful memories! Growing up we would have Roasted Leg of Lamb at least twice a month on Sundays After Church for Sunday supper! My tongue is wagging like a puppy Dogs tail 🐑

[@ChristineCushing]

Oh that is so funny! Thank you

[@ashwinlal7299]

Awesome mouthwatering thanks for the step-by-step and pointers

[@ritabrunetti381]

Hello Christine. As a child, raised in an American- French home, I believe I remember having lamb maybe once a year... yes in the Spring. Though it was many years ago and I don't remember the experience. Now married to an Italian for 44 years , I'd love to try this recipe. My husband claims he never liked lamb but I hoping that using your recipe we may both have our eyes opened to a better cuisine. Thanks for the recipe! Keep well and safe!!

[@ChristineCushing]

Lamb can definitely be intense and too rich for some people. For this type of preparation , where you aren't braising with strong spices/ wines etc. the type of lamb you buy is the biggest factor. Try to find a butcher that has local lamb and the leg shouldn't be any bigger than 2 KG 4.5 lbs max. I hope you try it. Thank you

[@ritabrunetti381]

@@ChristineCushing Thank you for your response. Here in Rhode Island, USA, we have plenty of farms. Now I'll have to search for the best cut.

❤ Great video. I like to slide the garlic down the side of the knife before I take the knife out. It works way easier, and allows you to push the garlic in to the bottom of the hole.. Keep up the good work.

[@jennypage2005]

I have just used your recipe to cook rib lamb chops - they were delicious! I will certainly use your recipes in future. I recently bought a half a free range lamb, and had no idea how to cook the leg... now know. Thank you!

[@MichaelNewberry]

Today there was leg of lamb at our rural market, half portion fairly fatty about 2 lbs, I bought it then searched your site guessing correctly you’d have a recipe for it. I have very little experience in roasting meat. I followed the directions, had everything on hand-oh man, it was fantastic, I ate half of it! I opted to cook it for a longer period which you clearly offered as an option, taking out the done potatoes midway. A touch lemony, a touch of sweetness, the little remaining fat was buttery, the meat was perfectly tender, I guess the stage before it falls apart. The bits of garlic were creamy and the crust delectable. It had a wonderful herby flavor, not gamey, something like carnitas. It was a very sensual carnivorous experience. Oh, and I had to add a touch of salt when it was on the plate taking your cautionary salt advice to heart. Amazing really that your instruction worked so well. Thank you!

[@ChristineCushing]

Thank you for your thorough recount of how you approached the roast and what you liked about it. I’m so glad that having little experience you chose a quality piece of lamb and then followed my advice. See you back in the kitchen

[@MichaelNewberry]

@@ChristineCushing Thank you Christine, during this horrible time, your cooking advice gives us optimism and hope, and something we can do now to feel uplifted.

Mmmmm....I miss my Momma's roasted leg of lamb and patatas with lemoni! My Yiaya made μαγειρίτσα with the rest of the lamb which I loved until I learned what was in it...I wish she had never told me 'cause I really loved it! Your leg of lamb looks scrumptious! I could smell your kitchen through the video!

[@Paula-dl9ky]

Roast leg of lamb Greek Style looks amazing ..... Here in the UK Roast lamb is a popular Sunday Roast and we serve it with Mint Sauce or Mint Jelly ...... Homemade preferably ..... Oregano and garlic would not be a usual choice but I will indeed try this recipe ...... I cook mine with Rosemary and Mint, lots of black pepper and some (not too much) salt ..... And sometimes with a thin coating of Balsamic with very little olive oil ..... Definitely with Rosemary on the roast potatoes ....... I love stronger flavours and I look forward to trying this recipe .... Thank you it looks wonderful ....

[@supertramp6011]

Exactly how I do it- Paula,love the rosemary and mint sauce! My favourite roast,with roast parsnip and winter vegetables! Sooooooo tasty!maybe even cauliflower with cheese sauce and breadcrumbs topping on the side!x🤪

[@zimnaya]

I have never been to Greece but many times to Cyprus, both before and after the wretchedly sad occupation of the north. I fell in love with the monasteries and kindly monks, developed a passion for the holy icons and learnt to make koupepkia (stuffed vine leaves) among other things when I helped prepare 3,000 of them for my friend's wedding. Your recipes bring back so much joy from those memories, but also the heady scents of the wild herbs and lemon blossom and jasmin. My friend's mother, Panayiota, did not have an oven - this was the case with most families at the time, and her tray of lamb for roasting would be carried to the local baker, who would put it in his wood-fired oven to cook for hours after the bread had been taken out. I've never tasted anything so good either before or since. One dish I recall and which I wonder whether you might feature, is Pork Aphelia - pork cooked with, I believe, red wine and coriander seed. It's another glorious Greek triumph! God bless you and your family at this very difficult time.

Hi Christine. I so much enjoy the simplicity of your cooking. Living in Toronto we have access to the vincotto you recommended. I made this over the weekend and it turned out fabulous.
