Making roast lamb is not as easy as it sometimes seems. And that is a typical Christmas preparation that is done in every house. So, as it could not be less, the mythical chef Karlos Arguiñano, one of the references of domestic cuisine in our country, has the little trick of his to get make the best roast lamb and make it perfect. As easy and efficient as the one with which he makes the croquettes much tastier, his recipe to make the perfect broth with discarded ingredients or the 6-3-1 method to make the potato omelette.
It is curious how, even in the recipes that only have four ingredients (lamb, salt, lard and a little water), there are still small margins and tricks to make the dish even better.
This is the case of roast lamb, whose trick can also be applied to a roast suckling pig, a suckling pig, a tostón or a virtually any type of festive barbecue what we plan to do.
The goal is to get it is juicy inside, but without being dry and that, at the same time, it is crunchy on the outside and has that churruscadito that we like so much in roasts. It is not complicated, but the trick is not only going to be in using a good meat or in measuring the temperature of the oven well, but in how we present the meat.
The Basque chef’s trick is as simple as tempering the meat. He recommends that the roast lamb, more or less, be taken out of the fridge about half an hour or 45 minutes before so that it warms up. In this way, we will not generate such a strong contrast when we put it in the oven and the meat will not contract or the oven will lose temperature.
