Chermoula spice mix enhances the flavor of succulent barbecue lamb with garlic, chili, cumin, and paprika.
Ingredients:
  • 1kg Lamb Boneless Leg Roast, excess fat trimmed
  • 36.40 gm olive oil, divided
  • 2 red capsicums
  • 2 yellow capsicums
  • Coriander leaves, to serve
  • 185ml olive oil
  • 1 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tsp crushed red chilli flakes
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 2.50 gm smoked paprika
  • 500.00 ml flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 500.00 ml coriander leaves
Instructions:
  • For the chermoula, place oil, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, garlic, chili flakes, cumin, paprika, 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add parsley and coriander and pulse until herbs are chopped but not pureed. Season with salt and pepper. Adjust consistency with more lemon juice, if needed.
  • Prepare your barbecue for indirect cooking. For a gas barbecue, ignite one burner on medium-high heat and keep the others off. For a charcoal barbecue, arrange the coals on one side of the grate without spreading them out until covered with white ash. Maintain the temperature at around 200°C inside the barbecue.
  • Coat lamb with 1 tablespoon of oil and generously season with salt and pepper. Grill over direct heat on the barbecue, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until lamb is evenly browned. Move lamb to indirect heat on the barbecue, cover, and roast for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer reads 60°C when inserted into the thickest part of the lamb. Place on a serving plate, glaze with 1/3 cup of chermoula, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Coat the bell peppers with the remaining oil, then grill on the barbecue until charred all over, about 15 minutes. Place the peppers in a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them rest for 5 minutes. Remove the seeds, stems, and skins from the peppers, then discard. Slice the pepper flesh and toss it with 1 tablespoon of chermoula in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Plate the lamb slices on a serving platter. Top with capsicum and the rest of the chermoula. Garnish with extra coriander before serving.
