Another thing that worked out well is that the potatoes and artichoke can adapt to various oven temperatures, so I just set the oven for what I needed to cook the lamb, and was able to cook everything at the same time and have it finish together, which is always nice when you're trying to complete several steps at once, and have everything still be hot by the time it reaches the table
Slow roasting is a very forgiving method, so if you leave it in the oven for longer than the prescribed time or if your oven temperature is a bit off, it still comes out wonderfully juicy
I wasn’t the only one who went all out for our Valentine’s dinner, and Jamie came home that night with the makings for a salad with berries, walnuts and raspberry vinaigrette, camembert cheese, wine, lamb chops which he seared and then glazed with a balsamic marionberry glaze, and polenta which he’d made the evening before so it could have time to chill in order for him to slice and sear it with a little butter
Bake the meat in the preheated oven until sweet and tender. Cut the pork into individual ribs, carve the leg of lamb into slices or tear the chicken into pieces, and serve with a bowl of the lovely marinade juices from the roasting pan
We also forgot to buy a digital meat probe and an oven thermometer. Next time (we can’t wait to try it again) we will stick more closely to the recipe and we are even talking about trying it with lamb chops and other cuts
I know that because I was lucky enough to attend Jamie’s cookbook launch party where I sampled many of the dishes in the book including ktzizot (Israeli mini burgers), Meditteranean lamb skewers, cilantro corn cakes, mini slow cooker turkey spinach meatloaf, BBQ short rib sliders, fudge brownies, caramel apples with crushed candy and kiddie candy bark
This was a recipe from Jamie Oliver's At Home-cookbook and it was amazing. I did boneless leg of lamb, 1 whole chicken (bone in, but back bone removed, so it can be splayed) and 1 rack of pork ribs so I doubled the sauce. Since it cooks first in the oven I did that part on sunday, then we let it warm up in the back of the grill for about 20 min
