Big Green Leg of Lamb

Happy Easter! So many amazing cooks have been shared today. Here is my leg of lamb. Marinated overnight and cooked at 300 until 135. I intended to reverse sear but the internal temperature rose so fast that it would have caused overcooking. It was deliciously moist and well-seasoned. Wouldn't change a thing. Served with couscous patties and cucumber ribbon salad.

Rubbed overnight with duck fat, balsamic and assorted spices.


Carved.

    Thanks! The 'stuffing' is just the same rub as on the outside. It held up better because it was protected: Duck fat, fresh garlic, Rosemary and thyme, assorted dried spices, lemon rind and balsamic.

    I missed having lamb this year - and this fantastic post doesn't help.   I love your sides - what did you dress the salad with?  How did you make the couscous patties?

    Gorgeous!  If it ate nearly as good as it looks, it must have been spectacular.  

    (Wondering about those grates . . . haven't seen anything that clean since mine was new!   =) )

    Thanks, everyone. @Legume, sorry you didn't get to have lamb for Easter. If it's any consolation, I never usually do. Being Jamaican, it was always fried tropical fish. Can't get those around here and everyone is blowing up Instagram with their gigantic fried snapper photos, truly annoying.

    I made "amaretto sour" dressing with amaretto, lime, honey, oil, poppyseeds and a pinch of green chili powder. I prepared the couscous with seasoned chicken stock, mixed in mint, feta, egg for binding, currants. Shaped and fried in oil until heated throughout.

    (Wondering about those grates . . . haven't seen anything that clean since mine was new!   =) ) Mine have darkened significantly in a little less than 6 months. :i_dunno: I was thinking about getting the iron ones too but I think they'd probably be a pain to maintain and these are actually serving me well.

    Ann, ifin it's custom fer you to fry fish...you mentioned snapper.  Have you ever or can you ever get Amberjack?  That is my favorite fish!  I prefer cutting it into steaks and blacken the stew outta it on the egg!  I also like cutting it into fingers and frying it!  When I smoke it on the egg, I make the most awesome fish dip too!!!  I have all my family in VA and they say AJ is a trash fish so I'm not sure what they think of it in your area.

    @Jai-Bo Jack and King were two of my faves in Jamaica. They're almost as meaty as turbot. I would pan fry, stew, curry and occasionally deep fry it. I googled and they said amberjacks existed on the pacific coast but I've never heard of anyone catching any and I've never seen it in the stores. They have a "snapper" here that's nothing like the Atlantic snapper fish so I doubt whatever they call jack on this coast is even jack.

    @Jai-Bo, I acquired some steelhead today. Not tropical by any measure but high among my faves so I'm definitely not complaining.

    Not much that swims out there, that I don't eat!  Oysters are the only thing that I don't do!

    I'm allergic to crustaceans but I eat oysters and other mollusks every chance I get. I used to be grossed out by the green stuff on the inside but I've gotten past that.
