Author: Dave Ahern

Ingredients

  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 green chili seeds optional
  • 1 tsp of tamarind
  • 1/2 tsp each of
  • Chili powder
  • Turmeric powder
  • Fenugreek powder
  • Garam masala powder
  • Ginger powder
  • Cumin powder
  • Corriander powder

Instructions

  • Score the fat and pierce the meat several times to allow the paste to work its way into the meat
  • I used a pestle & mortar, add a good pinch of rock salt & cracked pepper to make it easier
  • I do the garlic and chili first then add the rest all in one go.
  • Add 2tbs of oil to loosen it up.
  • Rub the paste into the lamb, pushing into the incisions you made in the meat. Leave it for 30mins if you can.
  • Don't wash out the mortar, you will see why below
  • Take 3 medium tomatoes
  • Remove the pulp and seeds and add them to the paste residue in the mortar and mix well
  • Roughly chop the tomato and add to one thinly sliced leek, use these to make a bed in an oven proof dish to rest the lamb on
  • Roast in a preheated over at 180 degrees for about 35 minutes then remove the lamb to let it rest
  • Pour in a half glass of white wine to the dish and mix (kind of de-glaze) the dish, return it to the over while the lamb rests to make a sauce
  • To do the potatoes, wash but don't peel some potatoes, cut them into pieces about a half an inch in size and place them in a bowl
  • Pour over some olive oil add some salt and pepper and mix so they are well coated in the oil.
  • Sprinkle some dried oregano on a plate and roll the skin side of the potatoes in the oregano, the oil will help it stick.
  • Place in an oven proof dish with the skin side facing up.
  • Pour in some chicken stock into the dish till it comes about half the way up the potatoes.
  • Cover with tin foil and roast in the same oven as the lamb, remove the foil after 15mins to allow the skin to crisp up.
  • If there is some liquid left in the bottom of the dish you can add it to the sauce.
  • Slice the lamb, spoon over the sauce and serve the potatoes on the side.
