How to Debone & Butterfly a Leg of Lamb

[jonathansturm]

Usually I leave the bone in for some extra flavour. But butterflying and cooking in the Greek style for a change today. Stuffing with oregano, preserved lemon peel, garlic and rosemary. And a lemon pilau or potatoes to accompany… I can’t make up my mind. I like your style Mr Food Wishes—you’re a man after my own heart. :-)

That parting shot with the cooked glistening coming off the surface is mesmerizing. In all seriousness, thanks Chef John. Your effective teaching style has given me the confidence to try stuff with super expensive cuts of meat over the past couple of messing them up :)

 2:13 "And by the way, this technique is called deboning a leg of lamb, not boning a leg of lame. Im pretty sure that means something different" LOOL love you chef john XD

Just watched the video and it was great!! I deboned the leg of lamb I had bought and it couldn't have been easier!! Thank you!

My mouth has never watered so hard on a raw piece of meat.

I am sure out of all of the videos I have watched from Chef John, this lamb of lamb has been touched beyond touching :P

Chef John,
You make it appear so simple. Thanks for the teaching! You're GRRREAT!

brilliant! just what I needed when I unwrapped the 'lamb shanks' my brother said he got for tomorrow's bbq (I LOVE lamb shank) only this is what was in the package. Oops. Hit rewind. Thank you for the concise instructions. Great voice work.

Pretty sure I've come back to this video every Easter for the past 5-6 years to refresh my memory on this technique, since I only do it once a year. Shame I can only like the video once! :)

[trufflehunter]

oh my god, I love the comments. Almost as much as I love our Chef John. Where else on YouTube can you find such funniness? Answer: nowhere!

Thank you, Chef John, for the de-boning lesson.

Chef John, you teach us how to cook and you make us laugh ! HAHAHA ! A Greek friend, Demetrios Maniates.

Chef John can you please make a tutorial video on how to properly sharpen kitchen knife's ?

[coachsoobin]

Foodwishes: come for the food, stay for Chef John's puns. Those delicious, delicious puns.

[mitchellwest]

I was taught you need to clean up at the silver skin line on the big side to cut a gland out of the leg, but I'm sure this will be good too.

Thank you this is great and easy tutorial to follow along!

Somewhere in this country there is a disabled lamb.

Great tutorial Chef! Very clean and very informative! Cheers!

Chef John, do you have any recommendation of the thin and sharp knife? Please make a video about the knives you're using in your videos and how you maintain them. Please...
