Slow cooked leg-of-lamb with harissa: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:32, 9 December 2022

This recipe requires preparation in advance!

This is a version of Barbecued Harissa lamb for slow cooking. It produces a far superior result to barbecuing, but does take a little longer.

Made with a defrosted frozen half-leg of lamb, this lasted 2 people for 2 days - I used the same marinade ingredients as for 6 people, but with slightly less harissa paste.

Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

1 tablespoon of coriander seeds
1 tablespoon of cumin seeds
3 tablespoons of Belazu Rose Harissa - I used 2 tablespoons of homemade Orange biter (hot chili sauce)
juice of 1 lemon
Belazu extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
1.6kg leg of lamb, boned and butterflied (ask your butcher to do this for you)
I used a frozen half-leg of lamb and butterflied it myself. It was a bit of a fiddle but it worked out fine in the end!

Mise en place

Preheat the oven to its highest setting; 250° C

After 3 hours in the oven
Marinaded, ready to cook
A poorly butterflied leg of lamb
Half-leg of (frozen) lamb, defrosted
[£6.50 Morrisons - August 2013]

Method

Put the seeds in a pestle and mortar and crush slightly.
Mix the Harissa, lemon, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic and spices together, smear over the lamb
marinate for at least three hours.
Place on an uncovered grill-tray at the top of the oven on its highest setting.
Cook for 15 minutes
Reduce the heat to 180°C [350°F - Gas 4], place the meat in an oven tray and cover with tin-foil
Cook for 2 hours 30 minutes - check now and then to ensure it is not drying out - reduce the heat if it is.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
