Provence Roast Lamb, Cooking in Provence, Olive Oil and Herbs de Provence
Roast lamb chops with garlic
baked with rosemary, thyme, and
bay leaf.
Provence markets
provide bunches of
bay leaf, thyme and
rosemary tied
together, the famous
Herbs de Provence.
After placing two of
these together in a
steel roasting pan
surrounding several
heads of garlic and
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 it with olive
oil and Herbs de
Provence.
You can serve
Camargue sea salt at
the table for an
additional flavoring at
the discretion of each
guest.
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 until it is
soft if needed. 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.
The garlic should bake in the skin
until soft
