Roasted Lamb in Red Sauce
This lamb is so tender it will literally fall apart! It's slow-roasted in the oven with onions and tomatoes creating a delicious red sauce. Great for holidays, sunday dinner or any gathering with family and friends.
Ingredients
- 5-7 lbs leg of lamb (boneless or bone-in)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 large onions sliced
- 28 oz can organic diced tomatoes
- 8 oz can organic tomato sauce
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a 9x13” roasting pan add olive oil.
- Cut slits on the lamb and add garlic cloves. Next salt and pepper both sides of the lamb and add to the pan.
- Cook for 15 minutes and then flip and cook for another 15 minutes to brown the lamb.
- Remove the lamb from the oven and turn the oven down to 325 degrees. Add the sliced onions around the lamb followed by the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.
- Sprinkle it with salt, pepper and cumin. Cover with a layer of parchment paper and then tightly with aluminum foil. Add to the oven.
- Check the lamb every hour to hour and a half and flip the lamb. If you notice that there is too much liquid remove some into a bowl and reserve for later. Make sure after you have checked the lamb that you put the aluminum foil tightly back on.
