HARDWOOD-SMOKED LEG OF LAMB WITH BBQ SAUCE AND MINT BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare a slow charcoal fire with hardwood charcoal. Soak 1 1/2 lbs of wood chips (hickory, cherry or other hardwood or fruitwood) in water for 20 minutes. When coals are glowing and coated with white ash, spread evenly and top with wood chips. Place lamb on a rack in grill. Cover and smoke 2 1/2 hours, turning every half hour and checking to make sure there are no flames -- if flaming, douse with a little water. Cool. Refrigerate lamb overnight. Slice lamb from bone, and shred slices. The meat will still be mostly raw.
• Prepare Barbecue Sauce: In a large pot combine molasses, tomato puree, chili sauce, mustard, Worcestershire, Tabasco and garlic. Add lamb and simmer for one hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare Mint Butter: In workbowl of food processor combine mint and shallots and pulse to puree. Add butter and process until completely incorporated.
• When lamb is ready, remove from heat and stir in mint butter. Serve

• Grill the chops until charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Press the middle of a chop with your finger: It should be slightly firm with a little give for medium-rare doneness.) Transfer to a platter and brush with some of the remaining mint oil. Sprinkle with mint and serve with more mint oil.

BARBECUED LAMB WITH SWEET MINT DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the marinade: mix the sugar, lemon juice and zest with the olive oil, balsamic and some seasoning. Stir to dissolve the sugar then mix in the garlic and mint. Reserve half of the marinade to use as a dressing for the lamb later.
• Open out the meat and lay it in a deep tray. Pour the marinade on top then turn to coat all over in the mix. Cover with cling film and leave for 1 hr or overnight in the fridge.
• Remove the lamb from the fridge and shake off any excess marinade back into the tray. Insert a skewer so that it goes from one corner to the opposite one. Do the same with another skewer in the opposite direction - this makes it really easy to turn the meat on the barbecue.
• Heat a barbecue or griddle pan until it's a medium heat. Cook the lamb for 15-20 mins, turning frequently for pink lamb or longer if you prefer it more done. When cooked, rest for 5-10 mins before taking out the skewers, slicing and serving with the reserved marinade for pouring over.
