Harissa Lamb by @crossfiredcooking. The perfect dish to serve this Mother's Day. Cooked to slow-roasted perfection in Dome.
Step 1:
Create a wood-fire in Dome.
Step 2:
Toast the cumin, coriander and fennel seeds in a pan. Once toasted, grind these up in a Pessel and Mortar, adding in the rest of the dry rub spices and some flaky sea salt.
Step 3:
Place the onions, peppers, tomatoes, garlic and fennel into the tray.
Step 4:
Rub the oil over the lamb shoulder followed by the dry rub.
Step 5:
Place the lamb shoulder on top of the vegetables along with some rosemary, and place into the Dome at around 300°C/575°F using the Dome Door. Check on the lamb every now and then, give it a turn, and replace the Dome Door.
Step 6:
Once the lamb has achieved a nice colour, remove the tray, pour in the stock, cover with foil and return to the dome and cook until the meat is pulling away from the bone.
Step 7:
For the glaze, stir all the ingredients together in a bowl. Glaze over lamb and return to the oven for a few minutes for the glaze to set.
Step 8:
Remove from the oven, pull the lamb and pour over some of the cooking juices.
