This looks absolutely amazing and I love that you started showing more of your personality in your videos. It's really wholsome and it makes your videos even better. Keep up the good work!!!
What a feast! I found your channel on happenstance when I was looking for a rice pilaf/pilau recipe. Since then I am hooked and subscribed. I'm an American living in Sweden and have no connection to the Middle East other than some friends and colleagues from Iran, Syria, Morocco, as well as some Turkish friends. Your channel has inspired me to branch out in my culinary endeavors and I thank you for that. 🙂
Wow!! I tried this recipe and from now on is how I will slow cook a lamb. I added herbs to the marinade and it was great. The touch is of the nutmeg is incredible. Now, in order to get the toasty colour of the leg I had to remove all the papers and cook for 10 minutes at least. Thank you for this great recipe !!!
the only recipe i will follow around the internet. not only detailed explanation but also lots of great tips and history. what a gems channel ❤️. best regards from Indonesia
Forgot to write that I tried Sumac for the time yesterday and it is sublime! I made some roasted chicken thighs and used Sumac on it. It has such a unique and fresh flavor and will go well with many other things such as fish and vegetables. Thank you for introducing me to this spice. Oh, and your cat is gorgeous!
It looks amazing. Definitely want to try this for my family for Easter. I make lamb every year, but haven't used this preparation before, only Greek. Very excited. Also, Maple cameos are awesome =)
This looks like the most promising roast lamb recipe I've seen. I've given up using legs of lamb and I know Egyptians use pureed onions to tenderize meat. As you know the Middle East uses a different type of lamb - fat tailed - which tastes very different and superior to the lamb from New Zealand, Australia and North America. There is a grill house in Cairo that cooks lamb that is the best I've ever eaten. I assume Egyptians used to use some kind of leaves to wrap the meat in. Do you have any idea what kind of leaf they used? I've lived in Egypt and I think parchment paper is a more recent alternative.
Love the explanation of onions in marinades. I love onions, so this is great news to me! I really appreciate the parchment paper treatment, too. The recipe sounds just wonderful. You sense of humor is much appreciated, too.
Hi there. Fantastic recipe !!! I like cooking outside in cast iron. Followed your recipe and the result was outstanding. Struggled with the temp trying to keep it as near as I could. No dial!!!😀. Have to try some more of your recipes on the wood fire with cast iron. Happy new year. r/ oldcampcookcastiron
Made this - with a leg of lamb (shoulder is really hard to come by where I live - even leg is not easy to find). This took time but not a lot of work and it really was some of the best lamb I have ever had. Thanks for the recipe. Truly awesome.
@@DennisBonich I did get my hands on some leg. Would rather it have been shoulder but that is hard to get here in Toronto where we have a far larger population of lamb eaters then we have lamb production. My bet is the restaurants are snagging the best cuts but maybe I am just not looking in the right places. In any case I made this and it was everything you promised. The best most succulent lamb ever. Going to have to make it again in the not to distant future.
I made my first roast leg of lamb, marinating it 18 hours. It was delicious! It was a very large roast. We will have lamb a few times this week. Thank you!
There's just something about Arabic lamb dishes. The meat always has loads of flavour and is so tender 😋 I'm going to have to try this one, but with some saffron rice.
Looks mouthwatering 😊 thank you for sharing this. Love the fact you included the onion marinade technique, can’t wait to try & recreate, best wishes from Western Australia 🇦🇺
I just found your channel and oh boy I‘m so excited to try this out. One question: I‘ve used to purée/blend onions in the past but they often turn out very bitter, which is why I‘ve used manual food processors that don’t go that fine instead. How do you prevent onions from turning bitter when you blend them?
That looks fantastic. I've never oven roasted a leg of lamb like that before. Wrapping in damp parchment paper is an interesting trick. I'll have to try that.
Out of curiosity, does that onion marinade that tenderises and perfumes the lamb work with any recipe -- such as a traditional British garlic, rosemary and/or thyme seasoning of the lamb roast. Would it work to simply add another layer of flavour to the traditional British roast lamb approach or would it seem a weird overlay? Thoughts? (I ask both because we always have tons of rosemary on hand and my family is more accustomed to rosemary and to serving with a mint sauce -- but also because this recipe looks AMAZINGLY good and I'm eager to give it a try.)
You my friend have a gift and are an awesome presenter, quite apart from the wonderful recipe. This may be sacrilege, but the modern equivalent of the paper wrap may be oven bags.
Yum! I love the jokes you've been adding into your videos lately. Your cat is adorable! Though I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to eat anything with alliums? I doubt a bite could harm them but do be careful!
Lordy that looked ridiculously delicious. As a Welshman I think lamb and mutton are my favourite meats, but it has done right which takes time. This was absolutely right. I shall be doing it this way in the future.
Beautiful & so so flavourful but beware of biting accidentally into a peppercorn cos they’re a dentists best friend…I was lucky but it almost would’ve been worth a cracked tooth cos the lamb was soooooo good. The paper trick is brilliant btw. Many thanks
I made this with a lamb leg and it was really nice and easy, however on the inside was bitsy meat like I mean an overcooked dry feeling, what can I do to correct it next time? - also mines didn’t release juice there was a tiny burny bit of it which I added water too each hour and removed, what should I do so it release more water like yours did and juicy inside?🌝
Hi! Obviously I'm not the creator, but like he said, leg can be a little more prone to fibrous meat in general. Did you cook it at 160C fan assisted? I would personally cook it at a lower temperature than that for longer, but that's just me. Also, make sure that the paper is really secure and wrapped well. Otherwise, it's pointless. Other than that, I'm not sure ❤
If I were there I would wrestle that lamb shoulder out of your hands and run away and hide with it! 😋 thanks for another great recipe - I’m going to have to get a shoulder of lamb tomorrow. Great to see someone who loves good cooking and good food - never trust a thin chef 😂
Love your videos! Just a heads up, cats and dogs cant really eat onions as they are poisonous to them, so you might want to be careful when feeding them something seasoned with onions.
There’s a physical process happening with the shaking of hot stuff that makes it expand. If you fill a bottle with hot water, cap it, then agitate, it will expand in size. Can’t remember why. But it can be fought with a good sense of humour.
Here's the explanation on a 7th grade level, for whoever might be interested and curious enough to read: The liquid state of matter is defined by it having a defined volume/density and no defined form. Gas on the other hand doesn't have a defined volume/density either and it will fill any recipient it is released into. Since pressure rises with temperature, if you shake a bottle with hot water, it will transfer the heat to the gas (air) in the bottle, that rises the volume, and since the volume is finite, it will rise the pressure, causing it to squirt all over in the worse of cases. I might have skipped some important information, but I think it's still understandable.
This looks absolutely amazing and I love that you started showing more of your personality in your videos. It's really wholsome and it makes your videos even better. Keep up the good work!!!
Lovely video, thanks to the charming presenter who gives practical and essential instructions throughout! I'm inspired to make this dish!

No clue what leaves they use, but you can definitely use banana leaves with some wet parchment paper on the outside to trap the moisture

Jesus this pre-Ramadan feast footage is no joke. Good luck to all of you!
That's everyday during Ramadan 😁
You could use this marinade for Thanks Giving Turkey.. It is not limited for Ramadhan only.. We will survive without food for hours, Alhamdulillah..
Don’t use the name of the Lord Jesus like this. I know you would not appreciate someone using Mohammed’s name as a byword
@@danieljaghab2664Muslims wouldn't say this. It's a Christian that said it.
Thanks for this! I have lamb going to marinade today and cook it tomorrow. It looks fantastic!
Looks great, but at whet temperature are you cooking?
I have dreams like yours. Going to try the parchment wrap, looks so good.

You can use their recipes too!!
Good recipe for Easter
I enjoyed your humor in this one. The food looks amazing as always.
That looks delicious
Ramadan Kareem to all those who celebrate!
Hey! This looks amazing!
How many hours should I use for a little leg of only 1200-1300 gr ?

Looks delicious 😋.
Have you tried with wine?
Make a recipes 😋
I still have yet to try the onion marinade, but I want to. I must try it with kleftiko as well.
man, im drooling watching this. i think i am going to try and do this with a roasting chicken
huge fan of what you do
Bliss! I always have this with Mandi at home.
Hi there. This looks fabulous!
What temperature did you cook the meat? Think I missed that in the video?
160ºC
Thoughts on adding a bit of water in the tray before putting in the oven to prevent the fond burning?
Fabulous job man, I really like your channel and your great personality. Thanks for sharing these recipes so I can share them with my family.
Do you just through away the onion marinade, or can you use it for something or freeze and reuse?
Out of curiosity, does that onion marinade that tenderises and perfumes the lamb work with any recipe -- such as a traditional British garlic, rosemary and/or thyme seasoning of the lamb roast.

Looks amazing. I may have missed it but what is the oven temp for roasting?
160c with fan
Can this method work with boneless leg?
You my friend have a gift and are an awesome presenter, quite apart from the wonderful recipe. This may be sacrilege, but the modern equivalent of the paper wrap may be oven bags.
that baking paper water wrap technique is a game changer
This looks incredible. At what temperature do you cook the lamb?
160 c with the fan - saw him reply in another comment
What do you do with the all the onions we scraped off? Can they be cooked down to use in something else? Thanks!
Yum! I love the jokes you've been adding into your videos lately. Your cat is adorable! Though I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to eat anything with alliums? I doubt a bite could harm them but do be careful!
looks so good mate
The most beautiful roast lamb I've ever seen!
hi what internal temp of lamb at the end of cook ?
that baking paper trick is a good one
Lordy that looked ridiculously delicious. As a Welshman I think lamb and mutton are my favourite meats, but it has done right which takes time. This was absolutely right. I shall be doing it this way in the future.
Absolutely salivating oh my gosh, that is a gorgeous roast
Hi, can we put actual spices in it? Chilli cumin etc
Hallow do you know Egyptian fenugreek seed where to buy in uk please
also I had a cab ride from someone from Cairo ...that was an interesting conversation (from the Gulf to Ethiopia)
Plzz a simple recipe for kabsa...
What temperature do we cook ?
Why am I watching this as I've already got a leg of lamb in the oven? Haha
That baking paper itself looks good to eat!
Followed the recipe to the t. The dryest lamb I've ever had.
Exactly, cutting off all the fat 🤦♂️
What should be oven temperature
Those lamb's leg and shoulders are looking out of the world!
I like the Ramadan dishes have you any Ramadan Pork recipes ?
Haha🙄

oven at what temperature??
Loads of garlic, pepper and nutmeg -- my fiancée said she was sold! The kitty just sealed the deal.
what knife u use bro
Will give it a go. You don't say the temperature to cook at. If 4-6 hours, I'm thinking 140c or so?
160C which is about 315F, low that's why it can be in the oven for so long.
3:59
@@Nyx773 thanks - my brain must have edited that out. 160 seems high to me for 4-6 hours, but I suppose it is covered, so will see.
I have replayed it a couple of times and I think he said 150C. In a regular oven, not FAN that sounds reasonable. 140C would work, too.
Love you, Obi
Love the humour in this video. Quite similar to the channel You Suck At Cooking. Keep it up!
What was the temperature of the oven?
160c with fan
