6.5 lb. bone-in leg of lamb

Walt2015

Picked it up at restaurant depot and doing a trial for thanksgiving (multiple places to go so figured we'd change it up a little) Rubbed with evoo, herbs de Provence, DP Mediterraneanish, a few slits with garlic and rosemary On now at 375 indirect with a handful of pecan chips Here are the before and will post more when done I do have one question though-- ideas for leftovers? Have a feeling there will be plenty after this dinner for 2

Check into a lamb curry over basmati rice using yogurt or coconut milk as the base.  Also IMHO Zaatar is a wonderful spice mixture when doing lamb.

Might look into it. Prob have about 5 lbs left over Need some help on the leg of lamb-- went 400 indirect and was overlooked at 1.5 hours.... I was expecting much longer cook. No maverick yet and went to check it and 150s-160s in most spots Found some nice medium pieces in the middle though but not sure how to estimate time for future cooks

How much did it weigh? 400 is pretty hot for a roast.

6.5# including bone. I had seen some old posts on here with folks doing between 225-400. Prob should have just done a lower temp

Leg 'o' lamb is kind of like a shoulder. If you cook at 250º it rends out a lot of the fat more effectively. At 400º, it still taste's just as good but with a little more fat.

By the way, when you serve lamb always serve with a hot drink like tea, A cold drink will make the fat congeal on your tongue and mouth. Or, as my wise says, "It makes my mouth taste icky."

Interesting misspelled word, "my wise says," perhaps that Freudian Slip is appropriate?
