Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) lamb shoulder or leg, bone-in
  • 2 tablespoons Boomas BBQ Sheared & Seared Lamb Rub 
  • 1 tablespoon Low and Slow Basics Garlic Goals
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. For the Chimichurri Sauce:
    • 3 tablespoons Toad’s Kitchen Cupboard Chimichurri Blend
    • 1/2 cup warm water
    • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  2. Instructions:
    1. Prepare the Lamb:
    • Pat the lamb dry with paper towels.
    • In a small bowl, combine the Boomas BBQ Sheared & Seared Lamb Rub, Low and Slow Basics Garlic Goals, olive oil, and lemon juice to form a paste. 
    • Rub this mixture evenly over the lamb, ensuring all sides are well coated.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
    2. Cook the Lamb:
    • Oven Method:
    • Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
    • Place the marinated lamb on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
    • Roast for approximately 3 to 3.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the meat is tender.
    • Let the lamb rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
    • Smoker Method:
    • Preheat your smoker to 110°C (225°F) using a mild wood like apple or cherry.
    • Place the lamb in the smoker and cook for 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the meat is tender.
    • Allow the lamb to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
    3. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:
    • In a bowl, combine the Toad’s Kitchen Cupboard Chimichurri Blend with warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to rehydrate the herbs.
    • Stir in the red wine vinegar and olive oil until well combined.
    • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
    • For a smoky twist, you can add a piece of hot lumpwood charcoal to the chimichurri, cover, and let it infuse for a few minutes before removing the charcoal. 
    4. Serve:
    • Slice the rested lamb and arrange on a serving platter.
    • Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the lamb or serve it on the side.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley or coriander if desired.

Tips

Pair with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or warm flatbreads.
Accompany with a robust red wine, such as a Shiraz or Malbec, to complement the rich flavors of the lamb.
