Smoked Leg of Lamb and Garlic Bread

[Chris_in_SoCal]

My wife called me from Costco a couple days ago and asked me if I needed anything. YES! a leg of Lamb. I was in the mood for it.

SPG, garlic and onion crumbles and lots of herbs.

1 hour and 45 minutes later I pulled it at 132F and let it rest as long as I could be patient for. I wanted it between med-rare and medium. It was smoked heavy with coastal oak, hickory and mesquite.

When patience ran out I started slicing.

I added a little ceasar salad and the meal was ready to eat.

Keep it up Chris and I'll eventually have to try some lamb!
I'd sure do a taste test on that sir.

Looks great! Know I ate lamb growing up but don't know if I like it now. So awhile back I bought some lamb and got busy so it got put in a freezer... well, went digging for something else and took lamb out and set besides the freezer... found it 3 days later! Yes, I'm a dumbass! Will have to try again!

Believe me guys. If you cook it this way there is no gameyness at all to the meat.

Salt, pepper and garlic. I bought a multi herb pack from Walmart for $4 and fresh bay leaves for $1.

I also added garlic and onion crumbles. Not absolutely needed but I like the extra flavor.

I put it all on and re-wrapped it about 15 minutes before it went into the smoker.

Nice!

Lamb has pretty much disappeared off the shelves around here, even the Armenian market up in Providence rarely has it. Been almost a year since I've done any lamb so I guess I'll have to live vicariously through you!

That looks wonderful Chris, I also have not had Lamb for many many years, not really sure if I remember the flavour.
So maybe I will pick up a small one to see how it goes.

Thanks for the post and great pictures.

i bet thats good rite there! nice job!

thats one meat you really have to season, like you did, to over power the stench.
