Mint-Pesto Rubbed Leg of Lamb
By: eatingwell.com
 
About 12 servings
Active Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours


Ingredients
-1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves
-1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves
-1/4 cup packed fresh parsley leaves
-2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, (see Tip)
-2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-1 clove garlic, peeled
-1 teaspoon salt, divided
-1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
-1 3 1/2-pound boneless leg of lamb, butterflied (see Tip) and trimmed


Preparation
 
1.Preheat oven to 350°F.
 
2.Place basil, mint, parsley, pine nuts, cheese, oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a food processor and process until fairly smooth. Sprinkle lamb all over with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pesto; spread the rest over the top side of the lamb and roll it closed. (It will not be a perfect cylinder.) Tie kitchen string around the roast in five places; do not tie too tightly or the pesto will squeeze out. Rub the reserved pesto over the outside of the lamb and place in a roasting pan.
 
3.Roast the lamb until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140°F for medium-rare, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes. Carve the lamb, leaving the string in place to help hold the roast together

Tuscan Pork Loin
eatingwell.com
About 10 servings
Active Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes (including 1 hour marinating time)


Ingredients
-1 3-pound pork loin, trimmed
-1 teaspoon kosher salt
-3 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
-1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
-3/4 cup dry vermouth, or white wine
-2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar


Preparation
1.Tie kitchen string around pork in three places so it doesn’t flatten while roasting. Place salt and garlic in a small bowl and mash with the back of a spoon to form a paste. Stir in oil, rosemary and lemon zest; rub the mixture into the pork. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 1 hour.
 
2.Preheat oven to 375°F.
 
3.Place the pork in a roasting pan. Roast, turning once or twice, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes.
 
4.Meanwhile, add vermouth (or wine) and vinegar to the roasting pan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the string and slice the roast. Add any accumulated juices to the sauce and serve with the pork.

Pete, I’m pretty sure I don’t eat as clean as you do, but most American chocolate doesn’t taste good to me either. Too much wax and fillers. European chocolate, on the other hand….OH EM GEE. Much higher cocoa/sugar ratios, so they taste like natural chocolate, not whatever crap people put in chocolate over here.
 
Btw, llulko, you can be such a buzz-kill sometimes. LOL. jk. D_unit asked about Easter recipes, and I immediately went back to all my favorite pig-out memories as a kid, and then you go following it with all those healthy recipes and make me feel bad. Sheesh. (Those were really good recipe ideas though. just bustin’ your chops.)

yeah, i pretty much can’t stand any chocolate with less than 60% cocoa in it now, and usually roll with something containing around 85%. it has completely ruined candy for me but i’m cool with it. i have a piece with a glass of red wine most nights.

HAHA.. R_Crass.. I know I can be a buzz kill.   I am a buzz kill all over this site.

During Easter I am sure you want to eat those chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, sugar sticks, peeps, pastel M&M’s, sugar coated almonds, and cadbury eggs. However, I was trying to make you salivate on other healthy dishes instead =) ……… I know… your welcome…. I know

As for chocolate, I love ALLL chocolate, although I prefer dark 60-80% coco as well… I prefer the strong rich taste of dark chocolate over processed milk chocolate!! I wonder if it is because my taste buds changed and prefer the natural state of foods… who knows…

 AND oh yes!! Paired with a glass of wine… nothing beats that… I love dark chocolate truffles from lint yum!!!
