Lamb Shoulder: lo-n-slo (Meschoui)
Marvin
Posts: 515
For a dinner party of six, I rubbed 2 whole lamb shoulders (about 5 1/2 lbs each) with a combo of fresh roasted and ground cumin and coriander, cardamon and salt. They sat wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge over night. The Egg was started with Mapp and apple chips put on the start-sites immediately; then the plate sitter, drip pan, grill and both shoulders. They smoked for about about 2 hours until the temp slowly reached 225 when the door and daisy wheel were shut down to maintain a temp of 225-250. After 11 hours the shoulders reached 194 and were removed, covered in foil and rested for 1 hour. The could be sliced only with an extremely sharp knife, otherwise they pulled off the bones very easily. In Morocco, they would have been consumed by the eaters pulling off pieces at will. For this more sedate party, slices and pieces were served. Sides included small roasted white potatoes mixed with oil, salt and oregano. The other dish was a yogurt and shredded cucumber dish with lemon juice, salt and garlic. It was all gone after 3 hours; washed down with Yellowtail Shiraz. I'm not a fan of their Chardonnay, but the Shiraz is world-class. I hope your holiday weekend has been as enjoyable.

Marvin,[p]do us a favor and put this in the recipe file. I've tried meschoui a couple of times on the BGE and not gotten it right. I'll have to try this recipe.[p]
