Cordero asado griego glaseado con miel y patatas

Ingredientes

• 1 leg of lamb, 1.2 kg (45 ounces) or more
• 1.5 kg potatoes (50 ounces)
• 4 cloves of garlic
• fresh rosemary
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 100 g mild mustard (3.5 ounces)
• 100 g honey (3.5 ounces)
• juice of half a lemon
• 1 tsp black sugar (optionally)
• 1 1/2 glass of dry white wine
• 4-5 tbsps olive oil

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven at 180C / 350F. To prepare this super easy Greek roast lamb recipe, place the lamb in a large baking tray and scar the surface of the meat with a knife. Make little holes (8-9) on the surface of the lamb, using a sharp knife.

2. 2

   Chop the garlic into 3-4 pieces each clove. Fill each hole on the lamb with some garlic and some rosemary. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Pour into the baking tray 1 and 1/2 glass of white wine and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hour.

3. 3

   The potatoes and the lamb cook at different times, so you should add the potatoes later.

4. 4

   After 1 1/2 hour remove the baking tray from the oven, unwrap the aluminum foil and add the potatoes (cut into wedges and seasoned well with salt and pepper). Drizzle with 1-2 tbsps of olive oil. At this point, there should be enough liquid remaining into the baking tray.

5. 5

   Place some aluminum foil on the baking tray and bake for 1 more hour.

6. 6

   Turn the pan out of the oven and unwrap the aluminum foil. At this time, there should be a little wine still remaining in the pan and your Greek roast lamb should be almost cooked, but not colored.

7. 7

   Prepare the glaze for your Greek roast lamb. Into a microwave, heat the honey, until it becomes liquid. Blend the honey with the mustard and lemon juice. With a cooking brush, brush the glaze over the lamb and the potatoes. Sprinkle with some black sugar (optional), so that the meat becomes more crunchy.

8. 8

   Place back into the oven (uncovered) and bake for 20-25 more minutes until the lamb is nicely coloured. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.

9. 9

   Enjoy this delicious honey-glazed Greek roast lamb with a nice Greek salad and creamy tzatziki sauce!
