Recipe for Raan Masaledar - Leg Of Lamb In a Very Spicy Sauce

January 06, 2007 By: Gargantua Category: Hot and Spicy No Comments →

5 lb Lamb, leg of

———————————–SAUCE———————————– 2 oz Almonds, blanched

1/2 lb Onions, coarsely chopped

8 Garlic cloves, peeled

4 Cubes ginger, 1″, peeled

;chopped coarsely 4 Green chillies, chopped

20 fl Yoghurt, plain

2 tb Surprisein seed, ground

4 ts Coriander seed, ground

1/2 ts Cayenne pepper

3 1/2 ts Salt

1/2 ts Garam masala

6 tb Vegetable oil

1/2 ts Whole cloves

16 Cardamom pods

1 Cinnamon stick, 2″ long

10 Peppercorns, black

———————————-GARNISH———————————- 4 tb Sultana raisins

1/2 oz Almonds, blanched, slivered

Make sure that all the fat has been trimmed from the outside of the leg and that most of the fell (parchment-like white skin) has been pulled off.
Put the leg in a baking dish made, preferably, of pyrex or stainless steel.
Put the 2 oz.
almonds, onions, garlic, ginger, green chillies, and 3 tablespoons of the yoghurt into the container of a food processor or blender and blend until you have a paste.
Put the remaining yoghurt into a bowl.
Beat lightly with a fork or a whisk until it is smooth and creamy.
Add the paste from the processor, the cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt and garam masala.
Mix.
Push some of the spice paste into all the openings in the lamb.
Be quite generous.
(I forgot to say, you need to ask the butcher to make a deep pocket to hold a “stuffing”, in this case, some spice paste mixture, or make a pocket yourself) Spread the paste evenly on the underside of the leg (the side that originally had less fat.) Now, using a small, sharp, pointed knife make deep slashes in the meat, and push in the spice paste with your fingers. Turn the leg over so its outer side (the side that was once covered with fat) is on the top.
Spread a very thick layer of paste over it.
Again, make deep slashes with the knife and push the spice paste into the slashes.
Pour all the remaining spice paste over and around the meat.
Cover with plastic cling film and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Take the baking dish with the meat out of the refrigerator and let the meat come to room temperature.
Remove the cling film.
Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium flame. When hot, put in the cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and peppercorns. When the cloves swell - this takes just a few seconds - pour the hot oil and spices over the leg of lamb.
(My note: I found the spices jumped and spat in the oil quite a lot - make sure your arms and counter are well protected) Preheat the oven gas mark 6, 400 F. Cover the baking dish tightly either with its own lid or with a

large piece of aluminium foil.
Bake, covered, for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
Baste 3-4 times with the sauce during this period.
Scatter, or arrange in a pattern, the sultanas and the 1/2 oz.
almonds over the top of the leg and bake for another 5-6 minutes.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it sit in a warm place for 15 minutes.
Take the leg out of the pan and set it on a warm platter.
Spoon off all the fat from the top of the sauce.
Use a slotted spoon and fish out all the whole spice in the sauce. Discard the spices.
Pour the sauce around the leg.
My Notes: I served the sauce separately, in a gravy boat.
It is delicious!

Tzimmes and a Gahtzah Tzimmes

November 25, 2006 By: Gargantua Category: Lamb Recipes No Comments →

1 lb Beef plate brisket

2 lb Carrots

1/2 ts Salt

3 tb Brown sugar

EINBREN or THICKENING: 2 tb Flour

2 tb Schmaltz (rendered chicken

-fat) or shortening 1 c Carrot stock

From “Love and Knishes″.
“Tzimmes″ is a word impossible to translate.
Ask anyone, “What is a tzimmes?” and you get the answer, “You don′t know what a tzimmes is?” This is not very satisfactory as you can see.
The closest I have come to an answer is that a tzimmes is a mishmash.
Now a mishmash is a hodgepodge and a hodgepodge is…not a tzimmes, believe me…it’s a big thing in anyone’s life.
A Gahntze Tsimmes is really somethig to boast about–a big production! For instance, from a good tzimmes, a cook is entitled to make a gahntze tzimmes.
(Some people think of a tzimmes as a dessert).
In my opinion is a one dish meal usually served as the fourth course in a six-course dinner.
A Tzimmes can be made from almost any ingredient.
From my wall-to-wall carpeting I could make a tzimmes, and from my new mink coat I am justified in making a gahntze tzimmes.
Of course, there are some people who think not.
You will find people who will begrudge you anything. They will say, “She’s got a mink coat so she’s making from it a gahntze tsimmes.
I knew her when she only had a Persian lamb.” From all these things you can make a tzimmes, but most tzimmeses are made from carrots.
Carrot Tzimmes Simmer brisket in water to cover till almost tender (about 1 1/2 hours).
By this time the water will have boiled down to about half the original amount.
Peel carrots and slice in half-inch rounds.
Add carrots, salt and sugar to meat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer till carrots are very tender (about 45 minutes).
Brown flour in a very small skillet, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
When flour is very light brown, remove from burner.
Add schmaltz and stir till smooth. Gradually stir in carrot stock to make a smooth paste.
Add this paste to the carrots, stirring it carefully.
Continue to simmer till stock has thickened (10 to 15 minutes.

Mix well in a small bowl with the paprika, cayenne, cumin and oregano.
Nick the rib roast in 8 places or so to allow the marinade to penetrate.
Spread the marinade over the roast, cover, and marinate for 48 hours.
When ready to prepare burritos, grill the roast until just past pink.
Slice thinly.
