Instructions

This mouth-watering lamb is sure to be a huge hit. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed!

In the kitchen:
  • Trim the leg of lamb by removing some fat and making incisions in the meat. Then prepare the chermoula.
  • Peel the onion and garlic. Chop both coarsely. Combine them in a blender.
  • Wash the coriander and chop it finely. Add this to the onion mix with the salt, paprika, cumin and peppercorns. Mix it.
  • Put it in a pot and add the olive oil.
  • Bring to the boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes over gentle heat.
  • Spread the sauce over the leg of lamb and let it marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Put the lamb on the spike for the rotisserie.
At the barbecue:
  • Prepare the barbecue for indirect heat – approx. 200 ºC. Place the spike in the motor of the rotisserie and turn it on. Put the lid on the barbecue.
  • Baste the lamb regularly with the remaining chermoula.
  • Cook for 45 minutes – for rare meat, allow 10 minutes per 500g.
  • Check if the lamb is cooked and then cover with aluminium foil and leave to rest 10 minutes.
  • Slice and serve.
