Roast Lamb With Coffee And Cream Recipes

ROASTED LAMB IN COFFEE SAUCE

Steps:

• Rub the salt and pepper onto the lamb.
• Spread the mustard on top.
• Heat the coffee, cream, sugar and brandy until the sugar has dissolved.
• Place the lamb in a roasting dish and pour the coffee mixture over it.
• Roast in a preheated 375F/190C oven for 20 minutes, basting a few times.
• Turn the heat down to 325F/170C and roast until it reaches a temperature of 130F, about 20 minutes.
• Let the lamb rest for 15 minutes.
• Pour the juices into a pan along with the chicken stock and heat until bubbling.

ROASTED LAMB WITH COFFEE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 190C and lightly oil a roasting dish.
• Rub the salt, pepper and rosemary into the lamb and spread the mustard on top.
• Combine the coffee, cream, sugar and brandy in a pot over gentle heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
• Place the lamb in the prepared roasting dish and pour the coffee cream over it. Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 160C and roast for a further 15 minutes. Baste every now and again, picking up the caramelising juice at the bottom of the pan and brushing it over the lamb. Remove the lamb and allow to rest outside the oven for at least 10 minutes before carving.
• If your roasting dish can stand direct heat, add the chicken stock to the cooking juices and heat on top of the stove until it is bubbling, and allow to reduce slightly. Alternatively, pour off the cooking juices into a small saucepan and proceed as above.
• Slice the lamb thickly and spoon the juices over.

ROAST LAMB WITH COFFEE AND CREAM

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 220 degrees.
• Place onions and lamb in roasting tin and cook for 45 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 180 degrees, pour the hot coffee over the meat and roast for another hour or until cooked to your liking. Remove the meat from the tray and store in foil for resting.
• Strain off the liquid from the roasting tin and reserve, discarding the onion. Sprinkle in the flour, add the butter and whisk together. Gradually whisk in the strained coffee liquid and stock until it thickens like a gravy. Stir in the red currant jelly and creme fraiche to taste with the salt and pepper.
• Serve with the sauce as a gravy with vegetables of your choosing.

ROAST LAMB

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Use a small sharp knife to make about a dozen incisions, each about 2 inches deep, through the fat that covers the top of the meat. Using a mortar and pestle or a blender, blend 2/3 of the anchovies (or 2/3 of the mustard if using), the rosemary leaves and the garlic cloves into a chunky paste. Using your fingers, press paste deeply into incisions.
• Mix remaining anchovies (or mustard) and the butter into a paste. Smear this mixture all over the surface of the roast. Season liberally with black pepper. (Do not add salt; the anchovies are salty enough, and so is the mustard.) Place the lamb on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up, and squeeze the lemon halves over. Pour the wine around the roast into the pan.
• Roast 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and roast until internal temperature reaches 130 to 135 degrees (for medium-rare or medium meat), about another 60 to 90 minutes. Baste every 20 minutes or so with the wine and drippings in the pan, adding more wine as needed to keep the liquid from scorching. If possible, for the last 15 minutes of cooking, use convection or a broiler to crisp the fat on the roast.
• Remove pan from the oven, remove rack from the pan, and let the roast rest on the rack for at least 15 to 20 minutes in a warm place, tented with foil. The internal temperature will rise to about 140 to 145 degrees.
• To make sauce from the pan drippings, remove a few tablespoons of fat by tipping the pan and spooning off the top layer. Put the pan over medium heat until the liquid simmers. Taste the simmering liquid and whisk in more wine, 1/4 cup at a time, until the consistency and flavor are right. Do not let the mixture become syrupy; it should be a sharp jus, not a thick gravy.
• Carve lamb into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a heated platter, decorated with rosemary sprigs. Serve with piping hot gravy.

ROAST LAMB WITH ANCHOVY CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Put the leg of lamb in a roasting tin that it fits into snugly - you don't want a lot of room around the meat. Make about 20 small incisions all over the lamb using a sharp knife, then pack each cut with the sliced garlic, an anchovy half and butter.
• Roast for 20 mins, then reduce the temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, add the wine and rosemary and roast for another 50 mins, spooning the juices over the lamb every so often.
• Transfer the lamb to a serving platter, cover with foil and insulate with towels or return to the oven, leaving the door slightly ajar. Leave to rest for 15-20 mins.
• Finely chop the remaining anchovies and heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan. Cook the anchovies and crushed garlic over a low heat, pressing the anchovies with the back of a spoon so they dissolve. Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in the cream so the mixture emulsifies. Season with pepper. Gently warm through the anchovy cream, but don't boil it.
• Skim any fat from the roasting tin and discard, leaving the juices behind. Carve the lamb and spoon over some of the roasting juices. Serve with potatoes and greens, if using, and a jug of the anchovy cream on the side.
