  1. MARINATE THE LAMB

    Pat the lamb dry with some paper towel. Place the lamb leg on a chopping board. Place the palm of your non-cutting hand on top of the lamb. Using a sharp knife, cut horizontally into the flesh but not all the way through, creating one thinner piece of meat. This butterflying process will ensure the lamb cooks evenly. Place the lamb in a shallow dish and coat in the Lamb Rub. Add in half of the chopped garlic and some lemon juice, reserving some for the gremolata. Massage the meat to coat evenly and cover with a plate. Set aside to marinate until frying. If time is on your side, you can let it marinate for longer – anywhere up to 24 hours.

  2. START THE BULGUR

    Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat in 150ml of boiling water and add a drizzle of oil. Gently stir through with a fork, cover with a plate, and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork.

  3. PRECIOUS PINE NUTS

    Place a pan, large enough to fry the lamb, over a medium heat. When hot, toast the pine nuts for 2-4 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Keep a close eye on them; they can burn easily. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside for serving.

  4. GET SAUCEY

    Season the yoghurt to taste. Combine the chermoula paste with 1 tsp of olive oil to create a drizzling consistency. Set both sauces aside for serving. To make the gremolata, place the chopped parsley, the lemon zest, and the remaining grated garlic on a chopping board. Mix it all together and chop until fine and well combined.

  5. LOAD UP

    Submerge the peas in some warm water from the kettle for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Drain on completion. Once the bulgur wheat is cooked, place in a large salad bowl with the gremolata, warm peas, rinsed baby spinach, and quartered baby tomatoes. Toss to combine, season to taste, and set aside for serving.

  6. JUICY LAMB LEG

    Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, brown the lamb for 3-4 minutes in total, shifting as it colours. Then, reduce to a low-medium heat, pop on the lid, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Lightly season the slices.

  7. TIME TO DINE!

    Make a bed of loaded bulgur wheat salad and top with the lamb slices. Drizzle over the chermoula sauce and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts. Serve with the yoghurt on the side and your Kitchen-style lamb leg is ready to rumble!
