This looks absolutely amazing and I love that you started showing more of your personality in your videos. It's really wholsome and it makes your videos even better. Keep up the good work!!!
What a feast! I found your channel on happenstance when I was looking for a rice pilaf/pilau recipe. Since then I am hooked and subscribed. I'm an American living in Sweden and have no connection to the Middle East other than some friends and colleagues from Iran, Syria, Morocco, as well as some Turkish friends. Your channel has inspired me to branch out in my culinary endeavors and I thank you for that. 🙂
It looks amazing. Definitely want to try this for my family for Easter. I make lamb every year, but haven't used this preparation before, only Greek. Very excited. Also, Maple cameos are awesome =)
Forgot to write that I tried Sumac for the time yesterday and it is sublime! I made some roasted chicken thighs and used Sumac on it. It has such a unique and fresh flavor and will go well with many other things such as fish and vegetables. Thank you for introducing me to this spice. Oh, and your cat is gorgeous!
Love the explanation of onions in marinades. I love onions, so this is great news to me! I really appreciate the parchment paper treatment, too. The recipe sounds just wonderful. You sense of humor is much appreciated, too.
This looks like the most promising roast lamb recipe I've seen. I've given up using legs of lamb and I know Egyptians use pureed onions to tenderize meat. As you know the Middle East uses a different type of lamb - fat tailed - which tastes very different and superior to the lamb from New Zealand, Australia and North America. There is a grill house in Cairo that cooks lamb that is the best I've ever eaten. I assume Egyptians used to use some kind of leaves to wrap the meat in. Do you have any idea what kind of leaf they used? I've lived in Egypt and I think parchment paper is a more recent alternative.
I made my first roast leg of lamb, marinating it 18 hours. It was delicious! It was a very large roast. We will have lamb a few times this week. Thank you!
There's just something about Arabic lamb dishes. The meat always has loads of flavour and is so tender 😋 I'm going to have to try this one, but with some saffron rice.
I just found your channel and oh boy I‘m so excited to try this out. One question: I‘ve used to purée/blend onions in the past but they often turn out very bitter, which is why I‘ve used manual food processors that don’t go that fine instead. How do you prevent onions from turning bitter when you blend them?
Out of curiosity, does that onion marinade that tenderises and perfumes the lamb work with any recipe -- such as a traditional British garlic, rosemary and/or thyme seasoning of the lamb roast. Would it work to simply add another layer of flavour to the traditional British roast lamb approach or would it seem a weird overlay? Thoughts? (I ask both because we always have tons of rosemary on hand and my family is more accustomed to rosemary and to serving with a mint sauce -- but also because this recipe looks AMAZINGLY good and I'm eager to give it a try.)
Looks mouthwatering 😊 thank you for sharing this. Love the fact you included the onion marinade technique, can’t wait to try & recreate, best wishes from Western Australia 🇦🇺
That looks fantastic. I've never oven roasted a leg of lamb like that before. Wrapping in damp parchment paper is an interesting trick. I'll have to try that.
Made this - with a leg of lamb (shoulder is really hard to come by where I live - even leg is not easy to find). This took time but not a lot of work and it really was some of the best lamb I have ever had. Thanks for the recipe. Truly awesome.
Lordy that looked ridiculously delicious. As a Welshman I think lamb and mutton are my favourite meats, but it has done right which takes time. This was absolutely right. I shall be doing it this way in the future.
You my friend have a gift and are an awesome presenter, quite apart from the wonderful recipe. This may be sacrilege, but the modern equivalent of the paper wrap may be oven bags.
I made this with a lamb leg and it was really nice and easy, however on the inside was bitsy meat like I mean an overcooked dry feeling, what can I do to correct it next time? - also mines didn’t release juice there was a tiny burny bit of it which I added water too each hour and removed, what should I do so it release more water like yours did and juicy inside?🌝
Hi! Obviously I'm not the creator, but like he said, leg can be a little more prone to fibrous meat in general. Did you cook it at 160C fan assisted? I would personally cook it at a lower temperature than that for longer, but that's just me. Also, make sure that the paper is really secure and wrapped well. Otherwise, it's pointless. Other than that, I'm not sure ❤
Yum! I love the jokes you've been adding into your videos lately. Your cat is adorable! Though I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to eat anything with alliums? I doubt a bite could harm them but do be careful!
Love your videos! Just a heads up, cats and dogs cant really eat onions as they are poisonous to them, so you might want to be careful when feeding them something seasoned with onions.
Beautiful & so so flavourful but beware of biting accidentally into a peppercorn cos they’re a dentists best friend…I was lucky but it almost would’ve been worth a cracked tooth cos the lamb was soooooo good. The paper trick is brilliant btw. Many thanks
There’s a physical process happening with the shaking of hot stuff that makes it expand. If you fill a bottle with hot water, cap it, then agitate, it will expand in size. Can’t remember why. But it can be fought with a good sense of humour.
Here's the explanation on a 7th grade level, for whoever might be interested and curious enough to read: The liquid state of matter is defined by it having a defined volume/density and no defined form. Gas on the other hand doesn't have a defined volume/density either and it will fill any recipient it is released into. Since pressure rises with temperature, if you shake a bottle with hot water, it will transfer the heat to the gas (air) in the bottle, that rises the volume, and since the volume is finite, it will rise the pressure, causing it to squirt all over in the worse of cases. I might have skipped some important information, but I think it's still understandable.
If I were there I would wrestle that lamb shoulder out of your hands and run away and hide with it! 😋 thanks for another great recipe - I’m going to have to get a shoulder of lamb tomorrow. Great to see someone who loves good cooking and good food - never trust a thin chef 😂
I had a good laugh when you said "you have a delicius onion milkshake" and then you put it in a glass and attempted to drink it! I lost it man! My neighboors heard me laughing! :) Thank you very much for your videos
Kinda scary but my grandfather was a big Italian guy(he was from somewhere on the coast of Calabria) and he would scare visitors by actually drinking grated onions for his lamb roast. He raised his own fat tail sheep, I can find that meat anywhere in my town but it tastes much better(very subtle but it seems sweeter and a tad bit richer.)
This looks absolutely amazing and I love that you started showing more of your personality in your videos. It's really wholsome and it makes your videos even better. Keep up the good work!!!
Jesus this pre-Ramadan feast footage is no joke. Good luck to all of you!
That's everyday during Ramadan 😁
You could use this marinade for Thanks Giving Turkey.. It is not limited for Ramadhan only.. We will survive without food for hours, Alhamdulillah..
Don’t use the name of the Lord Jesus like this. I know you would not appreciate someone using Mohammed’s name as a byword
Lovely video, thanks to the charming presenter who gives practical and essential instructions throughout! I'm inspired to make this dish!

Alliums are toxic to cats and dogs!

No clue what leaves they use, but you can definitely use banana leaves with some wet parchment paper on the outside to trap the moisture
went looking for a new way to cook my lamb. love your presentation. you've got a new subscriber now. thank you.
Thanks for this! I have lamb going to marinade today and cook it tomorrow. It looks fantastic!
I made my first roast leg of lamb, marinating it 18 hours. It was delicious! It was a very large roast. We will have lamb a few times this week. Thank you!
Marhaban ya Ramadan! Thank you! This is definitely something I will try out!
Loooool the casual sarcasm 6:15
Looks great, but at whet temperature are you cooking?
There's just something about Arabic lamb dishes. The meat always has loads of flavour and is so tender 😋
I'm going to have to try this one, but with some saffron rice.
Wow, those vegetables look good! And of course, so does the lamb-looks amazing. Love the paper wrapping technique,.
that baking paper water wrap technique is a game changer

Good recipe for Easter
Ramadan Kareem to all those who celebrate!
Hi there. This looks fabulous!
What temperature did you cook the meat? Think I missed that in the video?
160ºC
That looks outrageously incredible!!!

Do you just through away the onion marinade, or can you use it for something or freeze and reuse?
I enjoyed your humor in this one. The food looks amazing as always.
Thoughts on adding a bit of water in the tray before putting in the oven to prevent the fond burning?
JazakAllah khair for this beautiful recipes..
Looks delicious 😋.
Have you tried with wine?
Make a recipes 😋
Looks mouthwatering 😊 thank you for sharing this. Love the fact you included the onion marinade technique, can’t wait to try & recreate, best wishes from Western Australia 🇦🇺
In Melbourne, there are some serious Lebanese and Yemeni lamb dishes.
You can use their recipes too!!
That looks fantastic. I've never oven roasted a leg of lamb like that before. Wrapping in damp parchment paper is an interesting trick. I'll have to try that.
What do you do with the all the onions we scraped off? Can they be cooked down to use in something else? Thanks!
Looks amazing. I may have missed it but what is the oven temp for roasting?
160c with fan
man, im drooling watching this. i think i am going to try and do this with a roasting chicken
Can this method work with boneless leg?
I still have yet to try the onion marinade, but I want to. I must try it with kleftiko as well.
hi what internal temp of lamb at the end of cook ?
Dayummmn... that is the best looking Lamb I have ever seen. Not sure if I can get lamb shoulder where I am but if I can I need to make this.
Made this - with a leg of lamb (shoulder is really hard to come by where I live - even leg is not easy to find). This took time but not a lot of work and it really was some of the best lamb I have ever had. Thanks for the recipe. Truly awesome.
That looks delicious

160 c with the fan - saw him reply in another comment
The most beautiful roast lamb I've ever seen!
that baking paper trick is a good one

also I had a cab ride from someone from Cairo ...that was an interesting conversation (from the Gulf to Ethiopia)
What should be oven temperature
Those lamb's leg and shoulders are looking out of the world!
Why am I watching this as I've already got a leg of lamb in the oven? Haha
Followed the recipe to the t. The dryest lamb I've ever had.
Loads of garlic, pepper and nutmeg -- my fiancée said she was sold! The kitty just sealed the deal.
Love your videos! Just a heads up, cats and dogs cant really eat onions as they are poisonous to them, so you might want to be careful when feeding them something seasoned with onions.
That baking paper itself looks good to eat!
What temperature do we cook ?
Beautiful & so so flavourful but beware of biting accidentally into a peppercorn cos they’re a dentists best friend…I was lucky but it almost would’ve been worth a cracked tooth cos the lamb was soooooo good. The paper trick is brilliant btw. Many thanks
amazing!
Absolutely salivating oh my gosh, that is a gorgeous roast
😂❤The worlds cutest Cat.
Plzz a simple recipe for kabsa...
Love you, Obi
I will try this roasting process using frozen pizza instead of lamb.
I like the Ramadan dishes have you any Ramadan Pork recipes ?
looks so good mate
Looks great 👍
oven at what temperature??
i want roast lamb asmr please
Priceless tips I just got a lamb leg so no excuses not to try the recipe
Nothings beats Meshwi goat done the Moroccan way! 300,000 subscribers before Eid!
what knife u use bro
Would you be so kind to tell me the temperature? Thank you!
Maple is very cute
Will give it a go. You don't say the temperature to cook at. If 4-6 hours, I'm thinking 140c or so?
160C which is about 315F, low that's why it can be in the oven for so long.
3:59
@@Nyx773 thanks - my brain must have edited that out. 160 seems high to me for 4-6 hours, but I suppose it is covered, so will see.
I have replayed it a couple of times and I think he said 150C. In a regular oven, not FAN that sounds reasonable. 140C would work, too.
I like watching this as a source of vicarious enjoyment because there's no f#$%ing way in hell I'm affording lamb anytime soon lol
ooooo tender
even burnt it's delicious... KITTY!
Love the humour in this video. Quite similar to the channel You Suck At Cooking. Keep it up!

What oven temperature for the lamb?
160° C or 320° Fahrenheit. He said in the video. 4 - 6 hours. 1 for the vegetable roast.
@@ceha9517 thanks, i must've missed that part :)
Just a roast dinner 🍽
yuuuuuuum
I like the new sarcastic joke direction haha. it's human and definitely things we've all made like making a mess of the kitchen

Lamb 😍😍😍😍
