ALMOST-SPIT-ROASTED MOROCCAN LAMB



Almost-Spit-Roasted Moroccan Lamb image

For special occasions in Morocco, a whole lamb is turned on a spit over coals for hours, until the exterior is browned and crisp, with tender juicy meat within. Paula Wolfert, the great American authority on Moroccan food, gives this slow-roasting method for achieving similar delicious results in a home oven. Ask your butcher for front quarter of lamb (also called a half bone-on chuck). It is comprised of the neck, shoulder, front shank, and some ribs, all in one piece. Alternatively, ask for 2 large bone-in shoulder roasts. The lamb emerges succulent and fragrant, thanks to careful basting with butter and spices. Serve it with warm chick peas, cumin-flavored salt and a dab of spicy harissa.

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 5h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 front quarter of lamb, about 10 to 12 pounds, or two 5- to 6-pound bone-in lamb-shoulder roasts
Salt
6 ounces unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, lightly toasted and finely ground
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, lightly toasted and finely ground
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon pimentón
6 garlic cloves, smashed to a paste with a little salt

Steps:

  • Trim lamb of extraneous fat, but leave a thin layer of fat covering the meat (or ask your butcher to do this). Use a sharp paring knife to cut slits all over the lamb. Lightly salt meat on both sides and place in a large roasting pan. Mix together butter, cumin, coriander, paprika, pimentón and garlic. Smear butter mixture over surface of meat. Allow meat to come to room temperature. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Roast lamb, uncovered, for 30 minutes, until it shows signs of beginning to brown. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Continue roasting for 3 to 4 hours, basting generously every 15 minutes or so with buttery pan juices, until meat is soft and tender enough to pull away easily from bones and skin is crisp. If surface seems to be browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil and reduce heat slightly. In this case, remove foil, baste lamb and allow skin to crisp before removing from oven.
  • Transfer lamb to a large platter or cutting board and serve piping hot. Encourage guests to tear pieces of lamb with fingers; alternatively, carve meat from bones and chop into rough pieces. Serve with cumin-flavored salt, harissa and warm chickpeas if desired.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds trimmed boned lamb shoulder, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 15 1/2-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
1 cup dried apricots (about 5 ounces)
2 large plum tomatoes, chopped
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons (packed) grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Mix first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add lamb and toss to coat. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add lamb to skillet and cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally and adding 2 more tablespoons oil to skillet between batches, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb to another large bowl after each batch.
  • Add onion and tomato paste to drippings in skillet. Reduce heat to medium; sauté until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add broth, garbanzo beans, apricots, tomatoes, cinnamon sticks, ginger, and lemon peel and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Return lamb to skillet and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lamb is just tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.)
  • Transfer lamb and sauce to bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of lamb. Lamb shoulder is a good option for this recipe, as it is a flavorful and affordable cut of meat. You can also use lamb leg or lamb loin, if you prefer.
  • Brown the lamb before braising it. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and give it a nice crust.
  • Use a variety of spices in the braising liquid. This will give the lamb a complex and flavorful taste. Some good spices to use include cumin, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon.
  • Cook the lamb until it is fall-apart tender. This may take several hours, but it is worth the wait.
  • Serve the lamb with a variety of sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or couscous.

Conclusion:

Moroccan lamb with bean mash is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. The lamb is braised in a flavorful sauce until it is fall-apart tender, and the bean mash is a creamy and comforting side dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
