Spice Rubbed Lamb With Kumera And Feta Mash Recipes

Steps:

• For the lamb: Use paper towels to pat dry the leg of lamb. In a small bowl, combine the salt, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, black pepper and cayenne. Season all sides of the lamb with the spice mixture and place on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Let sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes or place in the refrigerator overnight and allow to sit at room temperature for 45 minutes before cooking.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Drizzle the lamb with the olive oil, then roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until the internal temperature is 140 degrees F for medium, about 1 hour and 15 minutes more. Allow to rest before serving, 15 to 20 minutes, then slice.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the harissa, yogurt and honey. Season with salt. Refrigerate until serving.
• For the optional garnish: Garnish with the pomegranate seeds, mint, scallions, good olive oil and sea salt if desired. Serve with the harissa yogurt sauce.

Steps:

• Mix the cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, pepper, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and cayenne thoroughly. Rub on the surface of the meat. Rub the garlic over the spices and refrigerate overnight. Without the garlic the spices will keep for months in a tightly covered, air-tight covered container.

Steps:

• Mix together the paprika, thyme, basil, cumin, and curry powder, if desired, in a small bowl. When ready to use, evenly sprinkle a light coating onto lamb or beef and pat into surface of the meat. For the most flavorful results, season meat and place in a resealable plastic bag; refrigerate 2 hours before cooking.

Steps:

• 12 skewers, if wooden soak in water for 10 minutes
• Preheat the grill or a grill pan.
• In a small bowl combine the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, pepper and salt. In a large bowl sprinkle the spice mixture over the lamb strips and toss to coat.
• Thread 1 piece of lamb onto each skewer and grill over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once.

Steps:

• Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 30 mins. Cook the rice following pack instructions, then rinse under cold water and drain thoroughly.
• Heat the grill. Mix the mince with the harissa, feta, grated onion and seasoning. Form into 12 sausage shapes and thread onto the skewers. Lay on a non-stick baking tray and grill for 6-8 mins, turning until cooked through and slightly browned.
• Mix the brown rice with the remaining ingredients and some seasoning. Serve alongside the hot skewers.

Steps:

• Mix first 9 ingredients; spread over chops. Refrigerate, covered, overnight., Preheat oven to 450°. In an ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chops, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to oven; roast until desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°), 3-4 minutes.

Steps:

• For the dough, mix the yeast, sugar and 175ml lukewarm water in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve the yeast, then set aside for 10 mins, or until the liquid starts to froth.
• Mix the flour with ½ tsp salt in a big bowl. Make a well in the centre, pour in the yeasty mixture and olive oil, and mix to a dough. Knead for 10 mins, then put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with oiled cling film. Leave somewhere quite warm until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the mince and fry, breaking up lumps as you go, until well browned. Stir in the garlic, spices and raisins, and fry for a few more mins, then turn off the heat and stir in the lemon zest, spring onions, pine nuts and seasoning. Set aside to cool a little.
• Divide the dough into 4. Working a piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to 25 x 30cm, without the dough splitting. With a long edge of the pastry laying in front of you, spoon ¼ of the mince on the bottom half - leaving a 2cm border all round. Crumble over ¼ of the feta. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, folding in and pinching the edges to seal in the lamb. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and brush the gozleme all over with oil.
• Cook in batches for 3-5 mins on each side, or until golden and heated through. Quickly mix the tomato ketchup, pomegranate and onion, and serve with the hot, crispy gozleme.

• Pour off fat from pan; wipe clean. Pat seeds all over lamb. Return to pan. Roast in oven until a thermometer inserted in thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes before slicing between bones into chops and serving with rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. and lightly oil a baking pan.
• Arrange tomatoes in one layer in prepared pan and brush with 1 teaspoon oil. Roast tomatoes in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until browned lightly, and keep warm.

Transfer to a small dish, and work in 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil, plus the garlic and the harissa or tomato paste mixture. Rub the lamb with the mixture, and set aside to marinate at room temperature, at least 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Shortly before serving, heat a heavy ovenproof saute pan on top of the stove and brush with remaining olive oil. Add the lamb, and sear for a couple of minutes on each side. Turn the lamb so it sits bone side up, and place the pan with the lamb in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 125 degrees for medium-rare. Carve each rack into four double chops.

Steps:

• Start with the mash. Peel and chop the potato and kumera and cook in boiling water till tender. Drain and add the milk, salt and pepper and mash well. Set aside and keep warm while the lamb is cooking.
• Spray the fillets on each side with olive oil spray. Combine the spices in a shallow bowl or plate and roll the lamb in the spices. Rub the spices into the fillets to coat them well.
• Heat a grill pan, fry pan or barbecue until medium hot. Cook the fillets for about 5 - 7 minutes on each side for medium rare lamb. Remove from the heat and leave to rest.
• In the pan you cooked the lamb in pour in the stock and red wine and deglaze pan. Reduce the liquid till it is slightly syrupy and turn off heat.
• Slice meat and serve with the mash and a green vegetable. Spoon sauce over the top and serve.
