Tender on the Inside, Crispy on the Outside
Roasted lamb breast is a true delight, offering a tender interior encased in a crispy exterior. This dish is incredibly easy and quick to prepare, and it doesn’t require constant attention during cooking. The end result is succulent and aromatic, making it a perfect meal for any occasion.
Ingredients
For 4 servings, you will need:
– Lamb breast: 1 kg
– Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
– Garlic: 6 cloves
– Tomatoes: 2 whole
– Cumin
– Herbs de Provence
– Optional: Harissa powder
Preparation
1. **Set Up Your Oven**: Position the oven rack in the high slot. Preheat your oven to its maximum temperature for about 10 minutes.
2. **Prepare the Ingredients**: While the oven is heating, peel the garlic cloves, slice them in half, and remove the sprouts. Cut each half into 2 or 3 pieces. Trim the lamb breast, leaving some fat on the top to prevent it from drying out during cooking. Make deep incisions into the lamb breast and stuff these generously with the pieces of garlic. Using a brush or your hands, coat the lamb breast with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with cumin and Herbs de Provence, and if you like, add some harissa for extra spice.
3. **Assemble for Baking**: Pour a glass of water into the bottom of a roasting dish. Place the prepared lamb breast in the dish. Surround it with halved tomatoes, drizzle them with a bit of olive oil, and season with Herbs de Provence and a pinch of salt.
Final Steps
Place the dish in the oven and roast for about 25 to 30 minutes at the maximum temperature for a thick lamb breast. If your cuts are thinner, reduce the cooking time to 20-25 minutes. This will ensure that your lamb breast is crispy on the outside and wonderfully tender on the inside. Enjoy your meal!
