Provence Cooking,Roast Lamb
Olive Oil and Herbs de Provence
Roast lamb chops with garlic baked
with rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf.
In the Provence markets
you find bunches of bay leaf,
thyme and rosemary tied
together. After placing two or
three of the sprigs of rosemary
in a steel roasting pan
surrounding several heads of
garlic, moistening with olive oil,
you place a layer of rosemary
over that and then place the
lamb on top of the rosemary
after first smearing each chop
with olive oil and Herbs de
Provence.
After smearing each chop or
cut with a generous portion of
Herbs de Provence and olive
oil, insert a crushed garlic
clove between each chop and
tie the lamb into a tight bundle
Bake in a 350 over for 12 minutes per pound, turn
three times to bake evenly. Remove the lamb and
cover with foil while continuing to roast the garlic if
necessary until it is soft. Place the garlic and lamb on
a serving platter and keep this warm while making a
sauce in the pan with the left over juices. Spoon off
excess oil and strain the sauce to remove the sprigs
of Thyme and Rosemary. Serve on the side with the
lamb.
