Description:
A fantastic lamb dish designed to appeal even to those who are typically hesitant about lamb due to its gaminess. By meticulously removing the fat and marinating the meat in a sweet concoction, this recipe transforms lamb into a succulent, flavorful delight. Don’t worry if you can’t find the marinade in your local stores; I’ve included a link to the manufacturer’s website where you can purchase it directly.
Ingredients:
- 1 leg of lamb
- Dry red wine
- Olive oil
Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Begin by boning and cleaning all membrane and fat from the lamb. This step is crucial as it ensures the meat absorbs the marinade thoroughly, resulting in tender, juicy lamb.
- Depending on the size of your leg and how thoroughly you clean it, you’ll end up with 2 or 3 large chunks and 2-3 smaller ones.
- Don’t discard the bone and trimmings! They’ll come in handy for making a delicious stock that can elevate your sauces to a whole new level of flavor.
-
Marination:
- Place the cleaned lamb in a container suitable for marinating.
- Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring it’s completely submerged.
- Ideally, marinate the lamb for at least 4 hours, but overnight marination is even better. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat fully, resulting in a more pronounced taste.
-
Adjusting the Marinade:
- If you find the straight dressing to be a bit too sweet for your liking, you can customize it by incorporating dry red wine and olive oil to balance the flavors according to your preference.
-
Cooking:
- Once marinated, it’s time to cook the lamb to perfection.
- You have two options: grilling or broiling. Both methods yield excellent results, so choose whichever suits your preference or convenience.
- If desired, you can enhance the skewers by adding blanched onion, mushroom, and tomato for extra flavor and visual appeal.
-
Serving:
- Serve the marinated lamb with rice and a sprinkle of sumac for a complete, satisfying meal.
- The combination of tender lamb, fragrant rice, and tangy sumac creates a symphony of flavors that will delight your taste buds and leave you craving for more.
