The method of cooking lamb leg in the oven. How long to cook a lamb leg in the oven

Before baking lamb in the oven in foil, let's first understand why this is done at all. In the sense that this method gives us, and in which cases it should be preferred over open baking.

Roasted lamb leg in the oven in foil is a dish that you can make if you want to use the lamb cover with a “blanket” of garlic, fresh herbs and cheese. Any of these three components is a direct indication in order to bake the leg precisely in the foil, and not in an open way. Any of them will burn out with an open method.

Another feature by which you can find out that it’s better for you to bake your foot exactly in the foil - if you see that the meat is not very fatty. Such pieces with open baking have a greater risk of being overdried. But, being baked in foil, they give the optimal quality of meat for cold mutton.

Minus of roasting in foil - the meat will not have a delicious fried crust, which I personally really appreciate in mutton.

The calculation of the ingredients is as follows: for each full 500 g of lamb without bone - 1 tsp. crystalline salt, 1 tbsp. vegetable oil and 1-2 cloves of garlic. Greenery should be in a solid bunch. I use a few more pieces of smoked slices - pure for flavor, this is an optional feature.

Before starting the cooking, set the oven to warm up to 250 ° C with air circulation.

We remove the bone from the lamb and weigh the meat to calculate the amount of the remaining ingredients.

We clean the garlic.

Grind or grind butter, salt, herbs and garlic in a creamy mashed potatoes. It should be a fairly thick sticky gruel.

I put some smoked meats in place of the bone.

From all sides, coat the meat with green gruel.

We place it in a completely closed envelope of foil with the flap up. We bake it in a preheated oven at an average level at a temperature of 250 degrees 20 minutes, and then at a temperature of 180 degrees - 10 minutes for every 500 grams. weight, even incomplete.

When you open the valve, the mutton must still oozing blood. We lower the temperature to 160 and bring the meat to any degree of readiness you like. Since I'm going to use part of the piece for cold slicing, I need pink meat. As you can see, it actively emits muddy juice from me.

Of course, this meat can be eaten hot.

As you can see, the fat layer on this leg is very thin. When the lamb leg, baked in the oven in the foil, has completely cooled and hardened, the fat will easily be removed directly with a whole layer, and after that the lamb can be cut into thin slices for sandwiches.

Lamb - meat is very tasty, hearty and healthy. After all, sheep are usually grazed high in the mountains, where the air is cleaner and the grass is juicier. Therefore, ram meat is much cleaner than pig meat. Many doctors often advise giving children low-fat mutton. It contains less cholesterol than commonly used pork and beef.
  But despite this, there is a lot of fat in the mutton, and the meat itself has a specific smell. Often this is the main reason for the low popularity of this type of meat. Many do not like him for a characteristic smell, or simply do not know how to cook deliciously. And to enjoy the taste of a wonderful lamb leg with vegetables, which we bake together now in the oven, we will resort to a little trick. And this trick is a special set of spices, which emphasizes the aroma of meat and its tenderness. Using these specific spices in the right amount, you can uncover all the charm of lamb. And vegetables baked in mutton fat will add their own shades of taste and you will get a wonderful full-fledged second course with mutton. Let's cook this dish together!

The second half of the success of this recipe is the baking mode: first, without rushing anywhere, we give the lamb leg slowly and leisurely cook at a low temperature, and then turn on the oven to full to get a golden crust in a few minutes.

Baked lamb leg

According to this recipe, you can cook a lamb leg on bones of any size - from a small cut weighing a kilogram to a full-weight hind leg in two or three kilos to a large company. To begin with, it’s worth stripping the leg: we don’t touch the meat, we make rhombuses on the fat so that it is better to thaw out, but it’s better to remove the films, there will be no sense from them. After that, with a thin and sharp knife in the fleshy part of the leg, on all sides, you need to make holes a couple of centimeters deep and two centimeters apart from each other, and insert into each a thin strip of garlic and several rosemary leaves.

After that, you can cover the lamb leg with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper and send to the oven, but if you have several hours and desire to cook something very special, do not forget about the marinade. For marinade, blanch the rosemary leaves, add garlic, mustard, Worcester sauce, wine vinegar (of course, for flavor, and not for softening the meat), a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, black pepper and salt, and beat with a blender until smooth. Coat the leg with marinade, tightly wrap in cling film and put in the refrigerator. Let the lamb leg marinate from 2 hours to the whole night.

Wrap the lamb leg in foil and place in the oven, heated to 130 degrees. The approximate baking time is 30 minutes for every 0.5 kilograms of leg weight plus another 30 minutes, but since it will differ in each case, the degree of readiness of the leg is better determined by a meat thermometer: when the temperature inside the thickest part of the leg reaches 57 degrees, remove and put it in a warm place, and turn on the oven to the maximum (in my case, it’s 250 degrees with airflow).

After 10-15 minutes, when the oven warms up, put the lamb leg in the oven on the grill, already without any foil. Bake the leg for another 5-10 minutes, until golden brown on all sides, turning it over in the process to achieve uniform browning. Remove the finished leg from the oven, cover with foil and leave for another 5-10 minutes, so that the juices are evenly distributed inside. Baked lamb leg can be taken out whole, and cut right at the table, serving baked root vegetables as a side dish and tart red wine.
