This was my attempt at making lamb barbacoa. I'm sure its not authintic but it came out good and flavorful. I'll try and keep it short and sweet.
Started with a leg of lamb. This only got a good amount of salt then on to the smoker with some mesquite wood.
Off the smoker and into a cast iron deep pan/dutch oven. Sliced onions and sliced oranges. A few bay leaf.
Then made the sauce to pour over top. Guajillo pepper,chipotle pepper, orange juice,white vinager,brown sugar,beef stock,cumin,coriander,oregano,cinnamon , garlic.
The peppers were toasted the re hydrated. All blended together in the blender
It was then covered with the lid and back in to the smoker until it was falling apart. I pulled the bone out and pulled the meat. Removed the oranges and the bay leaf and mixed the sauce that it cooked with back in
Got some toppings ready. Red cabbage, onion, cilantro, avacado , some hot sauce made from some dried guajillo and cayenne peppers. Some orance slices to serve with .
Plated with some cilantro lime rice(uncle bens 90 sec)
Another veiw!
Man they were good! Not sure that its authentic but I'll probably make it again. Thanks for taking a look!
