Have you roasted a leg of lamb before? It’s actually fairly simple! And this tutorial is all you need to make seriously tender, flavor-packed roasted leg of lamb.
Ingredients
500 ml full cream yoghurt
1 fresh coriander — finely chopped
1/2 fresh mint — chopped
15 ml garlic — cloves, chopped
juice and zest of 1 lemo
salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 ml cumin — ground
10 ml mustard — prepared
1 leg of lamb — deboned
salt and freshly ground black pepper
500 g mixed dried fruit
15-20 ml garam masala
2 garlic — cloves, chopped
30-45 ml vinegar — white balsamic
water — boiled
red or white wine (optional)
fresh coriander
Method:
Green sauce
1. Process the ingredients in a food processor.
Roast lamb
2. Butterfly the leg of lamb and rub the sauce over the meaty side. Marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Dried fruit atchar
3. Mix the ingredients and allow to stand overnight so the flavours can develop.
To complete
4. Heat the oven to 160 °C.
5. Put the leg in a roasting pan, meaty side up, and season with salt and pepper. Pour boiling water (or half water/half wine) in the roasting pan so that about a quarter of the leg is in the liquid. Cover with aluminium foil and bake for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender enough that you can use a spoon to break it into chunks.
6. Remove the foil just before serving, increase the oven temperature to 200 °C and roast until the meat is browned.
7. Reduce the pan juices until thickened. Transfer the meat to a serving platter, sprinkle fresh coriander over and serve with the gravy and atchar.
Potato kebabs
Boil 1 kg baby potatoes until soft. Cut 2-3 red onions into wedges and thread the potatoes and onions onto rosemary twigs or kebab skewers. Transfer to a baking sheet greased with olive oil and roast alongside the lamb until lightly browned.
