SPICE-RUBBED LEG OF LAMB WITH HARISSA YOGURT SAUCE
Steps:
- For the lamb: Use paper towels to pat dry the leg of lamb. In a small bowl, combine the salt, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, black pepper and cayenne. Season all sides of the lamb with the spice mixture and place on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Let sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes or place in the refrigerator overnight and allow to sit at room temperature for 45 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Drizzle the lamb with the olive oil, then roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until the internal temperature is 140 degrees F for medium, about 1 hour and 15 minutes more. Allow to rest before serving, 15 to 20 minutes, then slice.
- For the sauce: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the harissa, yogurt and honey. Season with salt. Refrigerate until serving.
- For the optional garnish: Garnish with the pomegranate seeds, mint, scallions, good olive oil and sea salt if desired. Serve with the harissa yogurt sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Over medium heat in a cast iron skillet, put, coriander, cumin and caraway seeds and roast (careful not to burn) for about 3-5 minutes or until the aroma starts emitting and the seeds are more dry and brittle. Put in a mortar and pestle and grind into a dust-like mixture. It will be warm. (You can put in a coffee grinder, but I like the love that comes from the old country way of preparing.) Put the paprika, sea slat garlic powder and cayenne in another small bowl and blend. Put the warm ground seeds and other blended ingredients in a clean canning jar and blend. Cover with the lid and shake and blend. Done! Now make your dishes extravagant & enjoy the magic carpet ride to an exotic place!
