butterflied leg of lamb with spicy mushrooms

2019-12-19

I’ll take a nice lamb’s roast over the most expensive beef cut anytime. But that is my personal taste of course.

This is what you need for 6-8 servings:

seasoned salad:

spicy mushrooms:

Pic3: after cooking
Pic4: perfect for me

Preheat the oven to 170 ºF.
Add seasoning to taste.
Even though this comes re-seasoned, I like to add some extra salt and garlic.
Roast on a grill plate fat-side up for 30-40 minutes per inch thickness for rare to medium-rare.
Use a meat thermometer to be sure of degree of doneness.
Increase temp to 380 ºF.
Bake 5 more minutes to brown and sear, and then shut down the oven.
Leave 10-15 more minutes in the oven.
Remove and rest 5 minutes before carving.
Serve and enjoy.

Serving suggestions:

I served this with a mixed salad (strawberries, baby spinach and lettuce mix) with balsamic vinaigrette / garlic mayo and with stir-fried mushrooms with nacho jalapeños.

spicy mushrooms:

Stir-fry the mushrooms with nacho jalapeños in 2 tbsp. olive oil.
BEWARE: do this with good cross-ventilation that you don't pepper-spray yourself.

Serve when the mushrooms turn nicely dark brown.
