How to Prepare

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Take your lamb and rub it generously with the chopped garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This ensures your Roast lamb dinner with skordalia is packed with flavors from the get-go.
3. Place the marinated lamb in a roasting pan.
4. Roast for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F (70°C) for medium, or to your desired doneness.
5. While the lamb is roasting, it’s skordalia time! Start by boiling the potatoes until they’re tender.
6. In a separate bowl, using a mortar and pestle, crush the whole garlic cloves.
7. Add the boiled potatoes to the crushed garlic.
8. Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while mixing continuously. This gives your skordalia that velvety texture.
9. Season the skordalia with lemon juice and salt. Mix well until you get a creamy consistency.
10. Once the lamb is ready, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This keeps your roast juicy and tender.

Tips

1. Always let your meat come to room temperature before roasting. It ensures even cooking.
2. If you prefer a less garlic-intense skordalia, reduce the number of cloves.
3. Invest in a good meat thermometer. It’s a game-changer for achieving the perfect roast.
4. Skordalia thickens as it cools. If you want it creamier, feel free to add a little warm water or extra olive oil.

Serving Suggestions

1. Slice the roast lamb into thin slices and serve it on a plate.
2. Generously dollop the skordalia next to the lamb or even on top if you’re feeling adventurous.
3. Complement your Roast lamb dinner with skordalia with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad.
4. Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for an added burst of flavor.
