Five Hour Leg Of Lamb With Forty Cloves Of Garlic

Five Hour Leg Of Lamb With Forty Cloves Of Garlic






Garlic, lamb, red wine. Isn't simplicity beautiful? It may have a five hour cook time, but the key to this succulent and flavorful leg of lamb is a marinade in red wine before those five hours.



Serves six.



ready in: over 5 hours.






ingredients



5 1/2 pounds boned leg of lamb, rolled and tied

1 bottle (750 ml size) dry red wine

40 cloves (very large) garlic

1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns



directions



Place lamb in a very large heavy flameproof casserole with a cover. Pour all but 1/2 cup wine over lamb.



Using the bottom of a saucepan or heavy chef's knife, gently crush all but 1 garlic clove and remove skins. Place peeled cloves in pot. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.



Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.



Place casserole on stove top. Uncover and add peppercorns. Bring to a boil, removing some of the foam on top.



Cover pot and put in the oven. Cook for 1 hour. Turn lamb over and cook 4 hours longer, or until spoon-tender, turning once or twice during cooking.

Remove lamb from pot and place on a cutting board.



Skim as much fat as possible from pan juices. Add remaining wine and 1 clove garlic, peeled and pushed through a garlic press, to pot. Over high heat, reduce liquid by half. Add a generous amount of salt and freshly ground black pepper.



Slice lamb and add to pot. Let lamb absorb juices. Reheat gently before serving.
