Julia Child Leg Of Lamb Recipe
Julia Child changed how we cook at home. Her Julia Child Leg Of Lamb Recipe is a true classic.
Ingredients
- 1 6- pound leg of lamb bone-in.
- 3 cloves of fresh garlic sliced.
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary.
- 1 teaspoon of salt.
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- 1/2 cup of dry white wine.
Instructions
Prepare the Meat
- Trim any extra fat off the lamb. Do not remove all of it. Fat adds flavor.
Add Garlic Studs
- Poke small holes in the meat with a knife. Push garlic slices deep into these holes.
Make the Rub
- Mix oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub this mix all over the lamb.
Roast the Lamb
- Place the meat on the roasting rack. Put it in a 325°F oven.
Check the Temperature
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Aim for 135°F for a medium-rare roast.
Rest the Meat
- Take the lamb out of the oven. Let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Always let the meat reach room temperature first.
- Use fresh herbs for a stronger, better scent.
- Do not overcook the meat. It should be pink.
- Save the pan drippings to make a tasty sauce.
