Pink Leg of Lamb RecipeOrigin: Turkey Period: Traditional |
|
This is a classic Turkish method for slow-cooking a leg of lamb so it remains perfectly pink served in a pink sauce made from stabilized yoghurt (a way of preparing yoghurt so that it won't split, no matter how long you cook it for). Ingredients:
500ml yoghurt 
Pink Leg of Lamb Preparation:Method:Begin with the stabilized yoghurt. Add the yoghurt to a saucepan then beat in the egg white and the cornflour. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool before using. Using a sharp paring or deboning knife make deep incisions in the lamb leg and insert the garlic slivers into these. Season the lamb liberally with salt and black pepper then add 2 tbsp olive oil to a large casserole and use to brown the meat all over. Add 2 tbsp tomato purée and fry until you can smell a strong tomato aroma. Now add half the remaining puree and cook for 3 minutes before adding he remaining purée. Again cook for 2 minutes then add the stabilized yoghurt. Add the crushed allspice berries and bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to the lowest possible simmer. Cover the pot with a double layer of aluminium foil and seal with a lid (you want almost no steam to escape). Allow the mixture to simmer very gently for 2 hours (the aim is not to exceed 100°C cooking temperature so the meat remains pink). At the end of this time take the pot off the heat. Slice the lamb and serve with the pink sauce. |
