minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
(approximately)
Convection Fan: ON
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
4 lb (1.8 kg) Leg of lamb
4 Garlic cloves, chopped
2 Teaspoons (10 ml) Kosher salt
1 Teaspoon (5 ml) Black pepper
3 Tablespoons (45 ml) Dijon mustard
¼ Cup (60 ml) Olive oil
¼ Cup (60 ml) Fresh rosemary, loosely
packed
3 Tablespoons (45 ml) Fresh oregano
3 Tablespoons (45 ml) Fresh parsley
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) Honey
1. In a blender or food processor, pulse
together garlic, salt, pepper, Dijon
mustard, rosemary, oregano, parsley and
honey. Keep blending while you drizzle in
olive oil. Place the lamb onto a glass dish
and pour the marinade over the lamb. Be
sure to completely coat the lamb. Cover
with plastic wrap and marinade at least
4 hours or up to 24 hours.
2. Place the lamb on the broil rack in the
baking pan to catch the drippings.

4. After 20 minutes turn the temperature
down to 325˚F (162˚C) and roast for 1
hour and 20 minutes, or until a meat
thermometer inserted into the
thickest part of the meat (not near the
bone) registers your preferred doneness.
5. Remove the roast and tent with foil. Allow
to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
NOTE:
To reach the desired doneness of a
roast, it is best to remove the roast
from the BREVILLE SMART OVEN™
when the internal temperature
is 10˚F (6˚C) below the desired
temperature reading. The roast will
continue cooking. The term is called
"carry-over cooking". The internal
temperature will continue to rise and
cook the interior part of the meat. It
is also extremely important to allow
the roast to rest at least 20 minutes
prior to carving. This allows the
roast to relax and hold in its juices.

FLATTENED CORNISH HEN
Function: ROAST
Temperature: 375˚F (192˚C)
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Convection Fan: ON
Yield: 4 servings
2 Cornish hens
2 Teaspoons (10 ml) Salt
½ Teaspoon (2.5 ml) Black pepper
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) Butter, melted
1 Lemon or ruby red grapefruit
Boning Cornish Hens
Ask your butcher to bone the Cornish hens
for you. If you feel up to the challenge,
follow these easy steps on how to
remove the breast bone and rib cage
of the Cornish hen. The results are very
rewarding.
1. On a clean cutting board, hold the
Cornish hen up by the tail. Using a
sharp kitchen knife or kitchen shears,
cut through the bones, all they way to
the neck. Split the hen open. Cut off
the back bone. Run the boning knife
between the rib cage and flesh to free
the rib cage.
2. Next, remove the wish bone around
the neck either by using your fingers,
or scrape the bone with the knife. The
bones in the thighs will remain intact.
Discard or save the bones for another
use. Repeat with the other hen.
Roasting Cornish Hens
1. Rub melted butter all over the hen.
Lightly grease the drip tray and insert
the roasting pan to catch the drippings.
Season the hens with salt and pepper.
Place skin side up.
2. Set the wire rack in the bottom height
position. Turn the function dial until the
indicator on the LCD screen points to the
ROAST function.
3. Set the temperature to 375˚F (192˚C) with
convection turned on. Set the timer for
30 minutes. Press the START/CANCEL
button to activate.
4. Roast the chicken for 30 minutes or until
a meat thermometer inserted into the
thickest part of the thigh (not near the
bone) registers 170˚F (76˚C).
5. For a crispier skin, brush 2 tablespoons
of melted butter on the skin and broil
at 400˚F (205˚C) for 1-2 minutes, taking
care not to burn the skin.
Serve with wedges of lemon, ruby red
grapefruit and pan drippings.
