Andrew Zimmern Cooks: Roast Leg of Lamb

Nothing beats roasting a whole leg of lamb. Roasting the leg of lamb directly on the oven rack will allow the meat to evenly brown and caramelize on all sides. While this recipe is best in the oven, it’s easily adaptable for the grill, cooking over medium indirect heat. I love to serve it with a Greek-style avgolemono sauce, an lemon and egg sauce that's rich and tangy.

Just made this for the first time so delicious!!

Could you roast a lamb shoulder at the same time and temperature as a leg of lamb? Or is it necessary to cook it differently because it is a different part of the animal?

[@ywdwarner]

the fatter the muscle , the more lean it is ? fatier is not fatter ?

[@davidrust3169]

Pardon me, chef, but could you answer a question (perhaps in an upcoming video) that this recipe raised:
How do you cut across the grain in the case of a roast like this when it's difficult to find which way the grain is going and, also, when it can go in many different directions depending on which part you are cutting? Is there a common method you use to determine the direction of the grain if you can't easily see it? (I've got bifocals and it's not always easy to see such things.)
I look forward to your response, sir, should you have the time!

[@Super020469]

David Rust he probably won't answer you because he never answers anybody
99.9% of the time you cut straight down opposite of the length of the meat/across the length of the meat
I hope that helps you

[@davidrust3169]

Generally, this is what I do; however, how would you approach it in a piece of meat like this one: where the grain appears to change direction?

[@Super020469]

David Rust it looks like it changes but it really doesn't and that's only because he folded the leg

[@davidrust3169]

Ahhhhh...
So, mostly, when it's difficult for me to see the grain (with my bifocals; at least, initially) it's a matter of cutting into the meat, first, to see the larger fibers before making the actual, serving cuts?

[@Super020469]

David Rust yes 👍

[@Super020469]

If it looks good eat it
