Rosemary Fennel And Garlic Lamb Sausage Rounds Recipes

ROSEMARY, FENNEL, AND GARLIC LAMB-SAUSAGE ROUNDS

Steps:

• Place lamb, garlic, rosemary, fennel seeds, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon salt, and season with pepper. Gently but thoroughly mix with your hands to incorporate.
• To check seasoning, heat a little oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook a small patty 4 minutes per side for medium.
• Season sausage mixture with salt and pepper if necessary. Form into 2- to 3-inch patties (about 16); do not overwork or sausage will be tough. Layer patties on a plate, with each layer separated by parchment or plastic wrap. Wrap well in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook sausage patties (do not crowd pan), 4 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a serving plate, and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Cook remaining patties, adding more oil if necessary and reducing heat if pan gets too hot.

ROSEMARY AND GARLIC ROAST LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using your hands, rub the lamb all over with the lemon juice. Pat the garlic and rosemary evenly all over the surface of the meat. Season the meat with the salt and pepper and place the lamb in a roasting pan. Place the lamb in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for about 1 hour longer for medium-rare, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers about 145 degrees F to 150 degrees F (be careful that the thermometer does not touch the bone.) Remove lamb from pan and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
• Position the roasting pan over your stove burners. Add mixed herbs and onions to pan, and stir to combine with pan drippings. Add chicken stock and wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any fond. Reduce over high heat until sauce consistency. Strain before serving, if desired. Slice lamb and serve with sauce drizzled over the top.

ROSEMARY & GARLIC LAMB BURGERS

Steps:

• Crush the garlic, rosemary, 1 tsp salt and ½ -1 tsp pepper with a pestle and mortar to make a paste. Add to the lamb and mix in well with your hands. Don't overwork the meat or you will toughen it.
• Divide the mixture into 8, then shape into round burgers. If eating now, heat a barbecue or grill and cook for about 8-10 mins, turning frequently, until cooked to your liking. Split the rolls or bread, toast lightly on one side, spread with mayo, then add the burgers and the balsamic onions, tomatoes and rocket.

ROAST LAMB STUDDED WITH ROSEMARY & GARLIC

Steps:

• Using a sharp pointed knife, make at least 30 small incisions all over the leg of lamb.
• Take 4 cloves from 1 bulb of garlic, peel and thinly slice them, then prod a slice into each incision. Next, take 1 bunch of rosemary, pull off small sprigs and push into the incisions, too.
• If done in advance, cover the leg of lamb well and refrigerate. Remove from the fridge 1 hr before roasting.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Heat a large frying pan, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and brown the leg of lamb all over.
• Scatter 2 carrots, cut into large chunks, 1 quartered onion, the remaining garlic and rosemary in a large roasting tin, pour in 1 glass of red wine and 1.2l beef or lamb stock, then place the browned lamb in the tin.
• Roast for about 1 hr 45 mins. Turn the leg of lamb halfway through so by the time it's cooked, each side has been in the stock.
