Time 2h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups fresh pineapple juice
1/2 cup rice-wine vinegar
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon pureed chipotle pepper (available canned)
1 tablespoon toasted coriander seeds
1 tablespoon toasted cumin seeds
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 leg of lamb, boned, trimmed of excess fat and tied (about 5 pounds)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, onion, chipotle and coriander and cumin seeds. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until reduced by 1/3, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the leg of lamb in a very large zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade. Shake the bag to distribute the marinade. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan fitted with a rack and reserve the marinade for basting. Roast the lamb for 15 minutes, baste with some of the reserved marinade and lower the temperature to 350 degrees.
  • Continue to roast, basting occasionally, for another hour and a half or until the lamb reaches the desired doneness. Remove and allow to rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Slice and serve.

Overall, this is a great recipe for lamb. The pineapple marinade is a nice twist on the traditional mint marinade. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less pineapple juice in the marinade next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the lamb turned out tough and the marinade didn't have much flavor. I'll try a different recipe next time.

The lamb was a bit dry, but the pineapple marinade was very good. I think I'll try marinating the lamb for longer next time.

The lamb was a bit tough, but the pineapple marinade was delicious. I think I might try cooking the lamb for a shorter amount of time next time.
