Leg of Lamb Nicoise
Ingredients:
3 lb Leg of lamb
Salt
Pepper
4 Garlic cloves
1/3 c Fresh Packed Parsley leaves
2 tbs Anchovy paste
2 tbs Red wine vinegar
1/2 ts Rosemary; dried
1/2 ts Marjoram
1/2 ts Oregano
1/2 ts Thyme
1/4 c Olive oil
Directions:
Use fresh or frozen leg. If using frozen, thaw in refrigerator overnight.
Anchovy paste is available in tubes or jars in a refrigerated counter of
supermarkets. Pat leg dry, slash lamb in several places so that leg lies as flat
as possible and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside. Mince garlic and
parsley by adding to food processor with motor on. Add anchovy paste, vinegar,
rosemary, marjoram, oregano, thyme and 1 ts(5mL) pepper. Add oil very slowly
through feed tube with motor running. Spread mixture all over lamb, making sure
it gets into slashes and place leg in shallow glass dish just big enough for it.
Cover and marinate in refrigerator several hours or overnight. Bring out to room
temperature 3 minutes before cooking. Place leg, meaty side up, on rack in
broiler pan and place so meat is 4 inches (10cm) from preheated (as hot as
possible) element. Broil 12 minutes; turn leg and broil 8 to 12 minutes on other
side, or until internal temperature is 140F(60C). Alternatively, grill about 12
minutes a side.) Transfer to cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let
stand for 10 minutes before carving against grain in thin diagonal slices.
