SOMA SENGUPTA EASTER RECIPES: SPICY ROAST LAMB WITH CLASSIC INDI
This is not your grandmother's traditional Easter lamb, which of course can be so wonderfully satisfying. But if you want to spike the lamb a bit, this is the recipe for you. The lamb, pink, juiscy and tender, is redolent of wonderfully spicy aromas. The jus is scented by the whole green chilis, but retains its essential lamby flavor. & the mint sauce provides the kick & freshness that elevates this dish from the ordinary. Enjoy, & happy Easter!

Steps:
- Place the dry spices in a small fry pan & toast briefly, about 1-2 minutes to awaken the flavors. Place the toasted spices in a small mixing bowl & add the olive oil, chopped garlic, honey & sea salt. Mix well to form a paste & rub in on all sides of the lamb leg. Refrigerate & marinade overnight.
- The next day about an hour before cooking, remove lamb from refrigerator and let stand.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the lamb leg in the center of a roasting rack and place the rack in the roasting pan. Cook in center of oven for I hour. Use an instant-read meat thermometer and take the temperature of the thickest part of the leg meat. Your meat thermometer should read about 118 degrees F. If it does not, watch carefully and continue to cook until the temp reads just 118 degrees F. Remove the lamb from the roasting pan to a flat surface to rest.
- For mint sauce: Blend all ingredients in a blender until semi-smooth.
- For jus: Pour off as much of the fat as you can from the bottom of the roasting pan. Put the pan on top of a burner on your stove. Start a low heat under the pan and when the drippings begin to sizzle, pour in the wine or stock and add the fresh chiles. Simmer, scraping the pan to release solids, for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasoning. Pour over the leg of lamb.

EASTER LAMB SOUP
Steps:
- Wash the lamb head and neck thoroughly and place in a pot with the onions. Cover with cold water, season with salt, and simmer for about 1 hour, skimming the surface several times.
- Cut the intestines into several pieces and wash thoroughly under running water. If you like, slice them open so you can wash them more easily. In a separate pan, bring some salted water to a boil and add the intestines. Blanch for 2 minutes, then remove with a skimmer and discard the water. Chop the intestines finely. You don't need more than 1 cup of chopped intestines.
- The head and neck are done when the meat falls from the bones. Remove them from the pot. Using a sharp knife, cut open the head and separate the meat from the bones. Remove the meat from the neck and cut all the meat into small pieces. Strain the stock and discard the onions. Let the stock cool and remove the fat. (Up to this point, the preparations can be made a day ahead. You can refrigerate the meat and the stock, making it easier to skim off the fat.)
- To finish the soup, wash the liver well and cut it into small cubes. In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the liver with the scallions and chili pepper, if using. Add the finely chopped meat and intestines, together with 1 cup of the dill, and turn a few times with a wooden spoon. Transfer the mixture to a pot and add the stock plus an equal amount of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes. Taste and add more pepper and salt if needed.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl with about 2 spoonfuls of water and the juice of 1 lemon. Slowly add cupfuls of the hot soup to the bowl, beating continuously with the whisk. When the egg mixture is very hot, pour it slowly into the pot, stirring well, over very low heat, to prevent curdling. Taste and add more lemon juice if needed. Sprinkle with the rest of the dill, and serve immediately.
- NOTE: Some people add 1/2 to 1 cup short-grain rice to the soup.
- If you hate the taste of boiled lamb, you can make an equally tasty magiritsa with chicken livers and chicken stock. There is even a meatless magiritsa. Sauté the scallions and dill, adding a few chopped leaves of romaine lettuce. Pour in water or stock and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Make the egg and lemon mixture as described above and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the lower third. Remove any packaging or netting from the ham. Trim away any excess fat, leaving about a 1/4-inch layer all over. Set the ham aside to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Place the ham, cut side down, on the baking sheet and cover it with a piece of parchment paper. Tightly cover the ham and parchment paper with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the brown sugar has completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Set aside and let cool to lukewarm (the glaze should be the consistency of room-temperature honey).
- When the ham is ready, remove it from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Discard the foil and parchment paper and, using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch-wide diamond pattern (don't cut more than 1/4 inch deep) over the entire ham.
- Brush the ham with a quarter of the glaze, return it to the oven, and bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush with another quarter of the glaze, and repeat every 15 minutes until all of the glaze has been used and a dark golden-brown crust has formed, about 60 to 75 minutes total. Let the ham rest 20 to 30 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper. In a very large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Add the brisket and cook over moderately high heat, turning, until browned all over, about 12 minutes. Carefully transfer the brisket to a rimmed baking sheet, fat side up.
- Pour off all but 4 tablespoons of the fat from the casserole. Add the onions and the sliced garlic and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, parsnips and potatoes and cook over moderate heat until browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the prepared horseradish with the minced garlic and 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Spread the garlic-horseradish paste on the fat side of the brisket.
- Pour the red wine into the casserole. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the casserole, 1 minute. Push the vegetables to the side of the casserole and add the bay leaves. Set the brisket, horseradish side up, in the center of the casserole. Pour the beef stock around the brisket and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Cover the casserole, transfer to the oven and cook for 3 hours.
- Increase the oven temperature to 350°. Uncover the casserole and roast for about 30 minutes, until the brisket is browned on top and the gravy has thickened.
- Carefully transfer the brisket to a carving board and let rest for 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Pour the brisket cooking liquid into a fat separator and let stand until the fat rises to the surface. Pour the cooking liquid into a gravy boat and discard the fat. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup of prepared horseradish into the gravy and season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice the brisket across the grain and transfer to the platter with the vegetables. Spoon some of the gravy over the brisket and vegetables and serve, passing the remaining gravy at the table.

SPICY LAMB WITH GARLIC COUSCOUS
A spicy Moroccan style dish. As the couscous has minimal cooking time the garlic flavour is quite strong, reduce the amount of garlic in the couscous or use some roasted garlic paste if you aren't keen on very garlicky food. This recipe came from the Home Beautiful magazine. The marinade also works well with chicken fillets.

Steps:
- Place cream, parsley and rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and set aside.
- In a medium soup pot or casserole, cook the bacon over moderate heat until browned and crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate. Pour off the fat in the pot.
- In the same pot, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic, celery, onion, leek and sugar snap peas and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 7 minutes. Add the chicken stock, 4 slices of the cooked bacon and the salt and white pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes and then add the thawed baby peas. Continue to simmer for a further 5 minutes until the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes total. Discard the bacon.
- Remove the rosemary sprigs and bring the cream and parsley leaves to a boil. Add the rosemary-infused cream to the soup and boil hard for a further 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Using a hand blender if you have one, liquefy the soup. Otherwise, carefully transfer to a blender and blend only until smooth, in batches if you need to. Adjust seasonings.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with extra cream, or a few drops of olive or other scented oil. Crumble the remaining 4 slices of bacon into each bowl and serve.
