Add a photoThis is a traditional northern african recipe called Mechouie. It's normally done with a whole lamb, but I BBQ a boneless leg of lamb butterflied
Ingredientes
- 1 leg of lamb boned and butterflied (approx 4 lbs)
- Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- 8 Tbsp (1 stick) butter (warm)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 16 fresh mint leaves, minced
- 1 tsp ground corriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- FOR SAUCE
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar
- 16 fresh mint leaves, finely slivered
- 2 cups chicken broth, homemade or canned low sod
- Salt to taste
- Ground cumin for serving
Direcciones
- Preheat grill to medium high
- Add salt and pepper to butterflied lamb
- Combine butter, garlic mint, coriander, paprika and cumin in food processor or blender (can be done in advance)
- Spread 1/3 of butter mix over inside of lamb
- Add 1 Tbsp to outside of lamb.
- Arrange lamb outer side down on grill, turning with tongs, 15-20 minutes per side. If it starts to burn, move to a cooler part of the grill or turn heat down. Spread remaining butter mix over top 3-4 times.
- Prepare the sauce by melting butter in a small saucepan on medium. Add onion and garlic and saute 5 min till golden. Add vinegar or lemon and mint and bring to a boil, then stir in chicken broth. When boiling, reduce the head to med-low and simmer about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and taste for seasoning, adding salt or lemon juice as needed.
- Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the sauce and tiny bowls of kosher salt and cumin for seasoning at the table.
