Ingredients

  • 5 pound leg of lamb

Spice Blend

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon peeled, grated fresh ginger
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed in a press
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 2 tablespoons blanched slivered almonds
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  • 1 tablespoons ground turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Lamb Remove any excess fat from the lamb. Using the point of a sharp knife, make deep slits all over the leg. Place the lamb in a large non-reactive dish. Spice mixture In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients. Rub over the lamb, pressing it into the slits. 
  • Yogurt mixture In a food processor or blender thoroughly blend the yogurt, nuts, and turmeric. Spread over the lamb. Drizzle the honey over the lamb, cover, and marinate for 1 day in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

    Very tasty and spicy dish I tried it two times all of my family member also loved it ,thanks for sharing with us.But I observed that it’s a time consuming dish.

    This is totally delicious! I made it with a cheap pork shoulder roast and marinated it for 2 days before cooking. I served it with couscous, garbonzos cooked in roasted vegis and romaine salad with feta. Everyone loved it.
