Boring Leg Of Lamb

[crisgal]

got a beautiful leg of lamb today, but i'm fancying a slow cooked morrocan flavour. I have only done this with pieces of lamb, but don't really want to spend time dicing the meat. Can i do it whole?

can;t see why not, score the leg and rub the spices in, should be great. My mum does this but with a spicy chinese marinade then she leaves on the bbq wrapped in foil for hours, the meat just falls apart its lovely

Never tried any of these. Personally I only eat chicken, and will often buy a ready made moroccan paste/ spice mix and follow the instructions to the letter. These kinds of "recipes" mixes have always turned out very well for me. Though if you're doing lamb I would see if any people have left any reviews on any of these recipes above.

Good luck. Mitchell

I've got a nice leg of lamb in the fridge, I was going to go Greek with it but the Moroccan soubds nice. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

go moroccan! i'm going to do a fruity couscous, with harissa on the side. So easy peasy, and the cous cous will soak up all those yummy juices.... slurp!

I would have used a roasting bag, lovely results every time, no mess, no fuss and if slowly cooked on about 150c then it will just fall apart.... season with whatever you fancy within the bag.
