sous-vide leg of lamb

A. sous-vide lamb, peas & carrots, potatoes & gravy

2021-01-22

This was a new product at the local Walmart. I tried it once. Apparently it was not deemed a success by Walmart and removed, because I never saw it again.

I tried sous-vide with this, but had trouble maintaining correct temperature. As a result, it ended up a bit over-cooked to my liking, more like a pork roast than lamb. 

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 6+ servings:

• 1 leg of lamb roast, 3-4 lbs.
• 3-4 small potatoes, peeled, sliced
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 small can peas & carrots
• 6-8 oz. button mushrooms, sliced

Pic4: yep, overcooked

• Cook sous-vide overnight @ 132 ºF.
  If temperature is maintained correctly, roast should be rare but fully cooked.
• Remove from the bag. Reserve the liquid from the bag to make gravy.

• Sear the roast on all sides in a hot pan, or brown under oven-grill.
  Since the roast is fully cooked and warm, this should only take 5-10 minutes.
• Carve and serve.

Pic10: served with gravy

• Use the cooking broth to make gravy.
  • Add up to equal volume water. Bring to a boil.
  • Stir in oil dough to desired thickness.
• Boil sliced potatoes.
• Serve with or without gravy.

• Sauté diced onions in butter/olive oil until transparent.
• Add mushrooms, peas & carrots.
• Simmer 10-15 minutes over low heat.
• Serve and enjoy.

b. reheat with freezer mushrooms

2021-01-24

Leftovers reheated, served with stir-fried freezer mushrooms.
I greatly recommend using fresh mushrooms. These frozen ones hardly have any flavor, as if they have been boiled to make mushroom broth and then been frozen.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

• 6-8 oz. frozen mushrooms
• leftover lamb

Pic18: leftover lamb, mushrooms

Directions

• Reheat lamb over low heat until warmed through.
• Stir-fry sliced mushrooms over high heat to desired doneness.
• Serve and enjoy.
