Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 bone-in leg of lamb (5 to 6 pounds) 10 garlic cloves, quartered Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 cups dry white wine 4 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock 4 sprigs rosemary 1 1/2 pounds small new potatoes, halved 1 cup oil-cured black olives 1/2 cup green Cerignola olives

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Make 10 slits in lamb using a paring knife, and insert a piece of garlic into each. Generously season lamb with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear lamb on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat, and add wine. Return to heat, and simmer for 1 minute. Add stock, remaining garlic, and the rosemary; bring to a boil. Cover with lid, and braise in oven for 4 hours.

Add potatoes and olives, and continue to braise until lamb and potatoes are tender, 35 to 40 minutes more.

Transfer lamb to a platter. Transfer potatoes and olives to platter using a slotted spoon. Strain pan juices, and skim fat from top; return to Dutch oven. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon sauce over lamb.

Cook’s Notes If you don’t have a Dutch oven, braise the lamb in a roasting pan. Heat the oil by setting the pan across 2 burners, and then cover it with parchment-lined foil before it goes into the oven.
