Categories     Meat and poultry

Total Time 6 hours

Number Of Ingredients 20

butter 100g, softened
ground allspice 1/2 tsp
hot smoked paprika ½ tsp
ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp
turmeric 1/2 tsp
ground cumin 1/2 tsp
chilli flakes 1/2 tsp
ground black pepper 1/2 tsp
ginger a large walnut-sized piece, finely grated
leg of lamb 1 (about 2kg)
garlic 3 cloves, cut into slivers
onions 2 large, cut into thick, 3cm round slices
heated to serve
greek yogurt 500ml
mint a small bunch, chopped
olive oil
spring onions 1 bunch chopped, including green bits
lemon 1, zested and juiced
coriander a bunch, chopped
giant couscous 300g

Steps:

  • To make the labneh, mix the yogurt, mint and ½ tsp salt. Put in a sieve lined with muslin or a clean j-cloth over a bowl and leave to drain overnight in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, tip out into a dish and drizzle with a little olive oil.
  • Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140/gas 3. Mix the butter with the spices and ginger and season with ½ tsp salt. Make incisions all over the lamb, deep enough to hold the garlic slivers and poke them in. Pat the lamb dry with kitchen paper then rub the spiced butter all over it, and season with salt.
  • Put the slices of onion in the bottom of a roasting tin and sit the lamb on top. Pour around a small teacup of water. Cover tightly with a double-layer tent of foil, then put in the oven. Cook for 5 hours, then take the foil off, turn the oven up to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5, and cook for another ½ hour. Rest it while you make the couscous.
  • Put the spring onions, lemon juice and zest and coriander into a large bowl and season well. Cook the couscous in boiling salted water until just tender, about 6-8 minutes (don’t let it get too mushy). Drain really well then tip into the spring onion bowl and toss.
  • Serve the lamb carved into chunks with the couscous, mint labneh, flatbreads and the cooking juices from the tin.

DJEDJ MECHOUI (ALGERIAN POULET ROTI/ROAST CHICKEN) RECIPE ...
This recipe comes from Farid Zari, who adapted his traditional way of spit roasting chicken to roasting it in his Los Angeles oven. He advises that the spices are a matter of personal taste--use what you like. He says the method does approximate the really crispy skin that he remembers from Algeria, but stresses that the quality of the chicken makes a huge difference, saying that at home in Algeria all the chickens were organic, free range and very fresh, and suggests that a soak in a salt water bath overnight would improve a run-of-the-mill supermarket chicken. Interestingly this cooking method follows the basic French method for roasting a bird -- and, after all, there is some cross-cultural history there.
