Barbecued Harissa Leg of Lamb

Put the seeds in a pestle and mortar and crush slightly. Mix the Harissa, lemon, 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic and spices together, smear over the lamb and marinate for at least one hour. Season well and cook on a heated barbecue with the lid on for 25-30 minutes, turning a couple of times. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving. Alternatively cook in a 240C/gas 8 oven for 25 minutes.

How To Butterfly Yourself (We can do this for you, just drop us an email at time of ordering)

Find the place where the long bone runs down the length of the leg and where it appears to be close to the surface. Cut along the line of the bone and this will split the leg. Continue to cut the meat away from the bones until you can remove them; you should then have a piece of meat that should be of reasonable thickness all over; if not carefully cut the meat further until you acheive this. The leg should now resemble a large piece of flattened meat. about 4-5cm thick. Trim off any excess fat otherwise this will flare on the BBQ.
