Boneless leg of lamb on the Santa Maria rotisserie

[Winterrider]

Looks wonderful , I bet the guests were pleased. I don't think I have ever eaten lamb that I recall. It is a no go in the wife's eyes. I would have to try at a restaurant.

It looks delicious Al! That Santa Maria attachment looks like such a nice cooker!

I’ve had lamb once and it was good, I’ll have to start paying closer attention to the prices.

Big like!

Mmmmm.... This is one awesome looking leg of lamb! Looks sooo yummy even without sliced shots! LIKE!

That looks great Al! Looks like that SM gave it a perfect crust. I have not been able to find leg of lamb around here but I do still have one frenched rack leftover in the freezer. If you dont mind sharing what all goes into your chimichurri marinade? Ive only ever had store baught chimichuri sauce you find in the salsa section.

Beautiful! I grew up eating Lamb and love it. My Wife's family were not fans. My FIL had the displeasure of eating Mutton 3 times a day in the South Pacific during portions of WWII. After that, he could not even stand the smell of Lamb cooking. To keep Bev happy, I only eat Lamb out at restaurants. Totally Jealous over here!...JJ

That leg 'o lamb looks wonderful Al, a beautiful piece of work! I like to insert little pieces of garlic into lamb and cook them on my Ronco 4000. Your rotisserie over a open fire would add a whole other dimension of flavor. Lamb with mint apple jelly, cold lamb sammies, now you got me thinking Al. Big Like, RAY

Looks fantastic Al!! I did one sous vide with chimchurri over the weekend. You got a much nicer sear using the Santa Maria. Funny enough I’ll be doing a gyro type thing with my leftovers tonight! I’ve really got to get a Santa Maria set up. Hoping maybe something that would work with my Vision Kamado.

Al....that is simply gorgeous!! That lamb looks to absolutely die for!! Sadly I have a similar issue as JJ: Tracy doesn't like lamb. Being that we rarely if ever go out to eat, it's just not something I get to eat. Growing up my dad didn't like lamb but mom and I loved it. Dad was a member of the local Home Builders Association and they had a meeting every month. When he went to the meetings, we had lamb. It was a special treat that I remember well...in addition to some great bonding time with my mother. Thank you for bringing back those memories Al!!

Remembering back,
Robert

Lamb looks delicious!

Lamb looks damn good Al! Love doing lamb chops and occasionly leg. Haven't had any in awhile I think its about time! Nice job!

Really looks good Al. I'm in the same boat as Robert & JJ (so to speak.) My only attempt at Lamb was with a beautiful rack of lamb chops I had smoked and my wife and others didn't like lamb at all. I was the only one to eat any of it (and I like it.) I can only live vicariously through you and others in the lamb/mutton adventures. Very nice.

That looks amazing Al!

THanks for the write up, I'm going to add it to my list of things 'to do'!

Al I have skipped posting some cooks because of no finished shot,what you have showing looks great to me.Thanks for sharing

looks delicious Al, nice write up

That looks magnificent! I too, have a wife who doesn't like lamb, so I only get it when we go out to eat, or when she's traveling for work. I'm going to do a smoked adobo lamb shoulder, with an avocado/cilantro sauce for lamb tacos next week while she's outta town. I also love lamb ribs on the smoker

That looks great . Gonna get me a roto set up for one of my kettles . That's a great looking hunk of meat right there .

Perfection Al. I can only imagine the faces of your friends when you brought that baby inside.

Point for sure
Chris

Yep, I gotta side with Chris on this one. That is without doubt one of the most beautiful roasts I've seen posted here. Just perfect!!

MHO,
Robert

Looks incredible. I'm going to have to give this a try.

Thank you so much for all the nice comments & likes fellas.
Sowsage I edited the original post to include the recipe for the Chimmichurri sauce.
My Grandson is a chef & he gave it to me.
But here it is again.
1 bunch of parsley
5 mint leaves +or- to taste
3 sprigs chopped rosemary
2-3 sprigs oregano
2-3 cloves garlic chopped
2 whole shallots chopped
1 tsp red wine
EVOO until covered

Is 1 teaspoon Red Wine correct? Chimichurri was designed for Flavor and to Cut the Fattiness on the palate. Doesn't seem such a small amount would have any impact on flavor or acidity. Interesting. At least after you open a bottle for one teaspoon, you have Plenty to drink! ...JJ

JJ, I guess you can adjust this recipe to your taste. We leave out the rosemary & use it for bread dipping. So I'm sure if you want to use more wine it would work. This piece of lamb was really lean, so the sauce seemed just right for us.

Thanks John & thanks for the like!
It was devoured pretty quickly, so I guess everybody enjoyed it, although out of 8 people only 4 of us had eaten lamb before. I'm going to have to check Sam's the next time I go & see if they have them at a good price. It's worth doing again!
