GRILLED CUMIN LAMB WITH SPICY ONIONS

Steps:

• Grate the zest from one of the limes and squeeze the juice. Reserve both separately. Cut the other lime into wedges and save for serving.
• Cut one onion into wedges; put into a blender and add lime zest. Halve remaining onion and slice it very thinly; put slices into a sieve and rinse well with cold water. Transfer onion slices to a small bowl.
• Add lime juice to bowl with onion slices, sprinkle lightly with salt, sugar and cayenne. Toss well and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or until serving.
• In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast cumin and coriander seeds until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the blender with the onion and lime zest. Add yogurt, mint, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, ginger, black pepper, 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne. Blend until smooth.
• Place the lamb on a rimmed baking sheet, bowl or in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade all over lamb, turning to make sure it is thoroughly coated. Cover lamb (or close the bag), and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Heat the grill (or broiler). Wipe lamb with paper towels, removing most of the yogurt mixture. Grill or broil lamb until a digital thermometer reads 115 degrees for rare, or 125 for medium (about 6 to 15 minutes per side, depending on how you like your meat and how thick the lamb is). If the meat starts to char before it's done, move it to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking. Or if broiling, move it farther away from the broiler's heat source.
• Transfer to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Arrange meat on a platter, spooning any juices from the cutting board over the slices, and top with more mint, cilantro, the spicy onions, yogurt if you like, and a sprinkling of flaky salt. Serve immediately, with the lime wedges on the side.

GRILLED LAMB SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the marinade by finely mincing the capers, oregano and garlic together. Add to a small bowl along with the yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest and some salt and pepper, stirring until well combined. Place the lamb in a large resealable bag and pour in the yogurt marinade. Mix it around so the lamb is completely coated all over. Squeeze out any air, reseal the bag and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• When the lamb is marinated, remove it from the bag and wipe off any excess with paper towels. Unfold the lamb, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle well with salt and pepper on both sides; this will help form a nice crust. Grill for about 15 minutes, then flip once and cook for another 12 minutes on the second side until cooked through and you have some color on the lamb. When done, remove from the grill, tent with foil and let rest for 10 to 12 minutes before carving across the grain into thin slices.
• Take the baguette and split horizontally lengthwise so you have long halves. Place on the grill to warm the bread through and get slightly crisp, about 2 minutes per side.

• Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, harissa, vinegar and cumin together in a large bowl and stir with a whisk to combine. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as desired. Refrigerate and serve smeared on lamb sandwiches.
• Add the cucumber slices and chile slices to a medium bowl and toss to combine.
• In a medium saucepan, add the vinegar, sugar, 1/2 water and salt. Heat gently, stirring, just until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour over the cucumbers and chiles in the bowl. Set aside to marinate at least 15 minutes before serving.

GRILLED LAMB SANDWICHES WITH RED PEPPER MAYO AND GRILLED GREEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine the garlic through pepper in a small bowl. Rub vigorously over lamb. Roll meat back into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap, or just put it in a large gallon ziplock bag. Marinate for about 4 hours. ` We recommend using a charcoal grill with 1 mesquite chunk for added flavor. Prepare fire, and once coals are ashen, put the meat on the grill. Of course you can cook it on a gas grill, it just won't have that nice smoke flavor added. Cook 10-12 minutes on a side, over direct heat. Meanwhile, prepare red pepper mayo. In a small food processor, combine roasted red peppers, garlic, mayo, salt and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined. During the last few minutes of grilling the lamb, add the green onions to the grill. Cook for a minute on each side. Watch closely as they could burn quickly! After removing lamb from the grill, let it rest 5-1 minutes. The meat will hold in its juices if you let it sit, as opposed to cutting it immediately and the juices will run all over your cutting board, leaving, you with dry meat. Not what you want! After the resting period, thinly slice the lamb. Put your sandwiches together on a nice roll, topped with lamb, mayo and grilled onions.
