Curried Leg of Lamb Roast with Apple and Tomato
Servings: 12-16  


 
Lamb Roast  

Baked in the juices of apples from the harvest, the lamb offers a splendid meal for Sunday dinner or for a Saturday night supper with friends.

 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

1 4-to-5 pound boneless leg of lamb roast (trim excess fat)
6 cloves garlic, cut in half lengthwise
1 small bunch fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 16-ounce can diced tomatoes
3 large apples such as red delicious or gala, cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
 

METHOD

Using a sharp knife, make slashes at the top of the roast, just deep enough to tuck in the garlic slices and small branches of the cilantro.

Preheat the oven to 325°.

In a 4-quart Dutch oven coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, heat the oil and add the lamb, turning the lamb to brown it on all sides. Remove the roast from the pan; set aside and drain off any fat. Return the pan to the stove and add the can of tomatoes. Stir the tomatoes around the pan, incorporating them with loose pieces of the browned lamb. Add the apples, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until heated through, then return the lamb to the pot.

Bake, uncovered for about 2 hours or until the meat thermometer registers 145° (medium rare) or cook longer to desired doneness. Remove the meat, place on a carving board and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Skim the fat from the sauce; carve the meat into thin slices and add sauce.
