Pomegranate and Orange Leg of Lamb

Pomegranate & Orange Leg of Lamb. Photo and recipe by Irvin Lin of Eat the Love.

My partner AJ totally got excited when I told him I was making a leg of lamb for my last Anolon recipe. It’s been a fun past six weeks creating recipes for an awesome company like Anolon and I have to say that this might be my all time favorite recipe that I’ve created for them. I say favorite because it was both insanely easy and also impressive! The easy part comes from the fact that you just chop up a few vegetables, pour the pomegranate molasses over the lamb and basically stick it in the oven and you have dinner. The impressive part is it’s a leg of lamb! Who isn’t impressed when that is placed in front of them at a dinner table? Go on over to the Anolon’s site to get the recipe for this Pomegranate and Orange Leg of Lamb. But before you do, read before below for a chance to win all six pieces of cookware that I used to develop recipes for Anolon.

    Wow! First of all, a big thank you to both Irvin & Anolon for this tremendously generous gift. I’ve only really been focusing on my cooking and baking for about the last year-and-a-half and following this blog has really helped in the ideas department. A set like this would just take my cooking game to the next level, so it would be amazing to have and cook with.
    Thanks so much and Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to all!

    Oh my heavens!! I would love to win the cookware. The first thing I would make is Baccala Venezia style – the way my mamma made it and with it I would make polenta . I would spread the polenta out very thin — about 1/2″ until it got cold. Then I would cut it into rectangles and grill the rectangles making a crostini. I would serve the baccala with the polenta crostini to spread on it. The baccala is cooked with lots of garlic and olive oil. Yum!!

    I think I would first invite some guests; then I would start making a pie crust for a classic woven-top American Apple Pie to bake in that Anolon Advanced Pie Pan. Then in the gorgeous Anolon Vesta Cast Iron 4 Qt. Oval Covered Casserole I would entrust a trussed-up Lemon and Rosemary Kosher Chicken (because those Kosher chickens are so flavorful). Next I would assemble a Three Cheese Mac n’ Cheese made with Fusilli because it’s quite pretty in the Anolon 9 x 13 Vesta Stoneware Rectangular Baker. Then on the stove-top I would start to make a simple Green Bean/Leek Almondine in the Anolon Nouvelle Copper 3 Qt. Stainless Steel Sauté pan and some pretty Brown Sugar Carrots and Parsnips in the Anolon Advanced Umber 3.5 Qt. Covered Chef’s Pan. Once everything was rolling I would go back and assemble the pie. Hopefully my timing will be on the nose and we can feast on all of this lovely stuff while the pie cooks.

    What a grand finale to the six weeks of Anolon love. I am lusting for lamb, and the chance to first, sear it in the copper, stainless steel sauté, then, finish in the oven alongside a bread pudding made from celery root puree.

    I would get a whole duck and carve out the two breasts, the legs & thighs, and keep the carcass. First meal: salt the breasts for a few hours or overnight, then sear skin side down in cast iron skillet until it’s crispy, and finish for about 10 minutes in the oven; you get that salty duck confit flavor, except w/ tender breast meat. Second meal: salt legs/thighs overnight and place them snugly (lots of skin covering the meat) in cast iron w/ tight-fitting lid on the stove top at the lowest heat for several hours; no need to add duck fat until it’s submerged or to heat the entire oven. You’ll have delicious duck confit in a few hours. Serve w/ potatoes fried in the duck fat. Third meal: salt the carcass overnight. Then break it into pieces and do the same as w/ the legs/thighs on stovetop. After a few hours, the meat will fall off the bones so strip the carcass bare. The thick and flavorful duck juice is like free demiglace to be used in any other recipe, or to continue to add to this one. Make cracklings w/ the skin in cast iron skillet, and then chop all together finely w/ a knife and put in small glass containers or ramekins, cover w/ a thin layer of duck fat on top – voila – rillettes de canard, i.e., duck rillette to be eaten w/ a crackly baguette and cornichons. This makes one duck last for three different meals and satisfies the craving for confit de canard that we can only get in France. 🙂 Love you and your website!

    Oh, my! So many lovely pans, so many meals and treats to make. The rectangular baker would be perfect for a Texas sheet cake; quiche in the pie pan; beef stew in the cast iron casserole; chicken thighs in tomato sauce in the covered chef’s pan; sautéed boneless chicken breasts with a garlic herb sauce in the covered French skillet; and for the stainless steel sauté pan, turkey kielbasa with onions, carrots, and potatoes. And that’s just for starters! 🙂

    Hope you’re having a great Christmas!
