For Chez

The post above is the rice dish we had last week - the main difference was we used the rice mixture our deli sells which is 60% brown long grain rice, 35% red rice and 5% wild rice.

Tomorrow we we be using potato flour to make it gluten free and serving with lamb shawarma. Will share that recipe one we know it's good. (It looks pdg marinating as we speak!)

2 tsp black peppercorns
5 cloves
½ tsp cardamom pods
¼ tsp fenugreek seeds
1tsp fennel seeds
1tbsp cumin seeds
1 star anise
½ a cinnamon stick
½ a nutmeg, grated
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 tabspn sumac
¾ tbsp Maldon sea salt
25g fresh ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, crushed
40g chopped corrinder
60ml lemon juice
120ml groundnut oil
2.5 - 3kg leg of lamb, bone in.

Put first eight ingredients in a cast iron pan and dry roast on a medium heat for a minute or two. Add ginger, nutmeg & paprika. Heat through, then transfer to a spice grinder and process to a uniform powder. Transfer to a bowl and add all other ingredients (except lamb).

Score the lamb with slits 1.5cm deep. Rub the marinade well into the meat and leave for at least 2 hours, and preferably over night.

Preheat oven to 170°C. Roast lamb, fatty side up for 4.5 hours.
After 30mins roasting add a cup of water to the roasting tin and use to baste the meat every hour or so, adding more water if necessary, making sure there is always a cm in the bottom of the tin.

For the last 3 hours cover the meat in foil to stop the spices burning.

Allow to rest for at least 10 mins before serving.

Very good! We had it with the rice recipe I posted yesterday, a tahini sauce, raita and a tomato chilli sauce and gravy made from the juices with the fat taken off.

What a coincidence, I cooked that last night!!!! We had friends over.

I made the rice dish, lamb meatballs with barberries (except I used cranberries as suggested) the roasted butternut and red onions with tahini sauce and the spicy carrot salad.

I can HIGHLY recommend the book too, last nights meal was fantastic, and everything I've made from it has been fabulous...the rice with lentils was amazing (made that last weekend)

Does it really want cooking for four and a half hours? Presumably you could cut it with a spoon at that point?

You could. It was scrummy.
