One of my readers said that since one of my hobbies is cooking on my Big Green Egg (and cooking in general), that I ought to post some recipes here too.
Sounds great. I’m gonna post them now and again and see how it goes over, and I’m starting with the recipe for My Dad’s Leg of Lamb. This recipe has been lauded by many for years, and I’ve now started making it too and it rules!!
Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Floyd’s Curried Leg of Lamb
Ingredients:
1 approx. 5 - 7 lb. leg of lamb, bone in
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon curry powder
1 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 onions, finely chopped
½ cup dry vermouth
1/8 cup water (add water last, not too much)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Place lamb on rack in roasting dish (if you add water to the bottom of the pan – clean up will go a lot smoother and it really cuts down on smoke, etc).
Sprinkle lamb with lemon juice
Mix garlic, curry, salt and pepper with water to make a paste
Spread the paste over the top (fat) side of the lamb
Cook for 30 minutes
Remove the lamb from the oven and slowly pour vermouth over the top so as not to disturb onion.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees, return lamb and cook until meat thermometer reads 150 degrees for medium or approximately 15 minutes per pound for medium.
Let lamb sit for 10 minutes prior to slicing.
Enjoy!
