Leg of Lamb
1 American Lamb leg, boned, rolled and tied
0.50 cup Olive oil
3 tbsp Lamb spice
Potato Onion Tart
8 Stainless steel 3-inch ring molds
4 Eggs
1 cup Heavy cream
0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
1 cup Melted butter
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup Diced onion, lightly sautéed
1 tbsp Fresh minced chives
1For the Lamb: Brush lamb with olive oil and sprinkle with lamb spice. Place onto a roasting rack; roast at 375°F for approximately 1-1/2 hours or until internal temperature reaches 140°F. Allow the lamb to rest for a least 30 minutes before slicing.
2For the Potato Onion Tart: Wrap a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom side of each mold to hold in the custard. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, heavy cream and nutmeg. Using a whisk, mix well until a uniform mixture is achieved. Lightly butter ring molds; layer potatoes in an overlapping circle to produce the shape of a rose. Place onto a medium sheet pan. Place 1 tablespoon of onions on the bottom of each mold then fill with the custard mixture. Bake at 350°F until golden brown.
3To Serve: Slice lamb and divide among 8 preheated dinner plates. Place 1 onion tart on each place, garnish with minced chives and drizzle with lamb sauce.
