Ingredients
- 2 aubergines, thickly cut into 1cm slices
- 1 red onion
- 2½ kg leg of lamb
- 1 garlic bulb, halved horizontally
- 4 tsp harissa paste, heaped
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 350g vine tomatoes
- 2 handfuls couscous (optional)
- 250g greek yoghurt
- 1 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 150°C/130°C fan/gas 2. Line a roasting tin with the aubergine slices, then scatter over the onion. Place the leg of lamb on top of the vegetables, and tuck the halved garlic alongside.
Step 2
Stab the lamb all over with a very sharp knife, then rub all over with the harissa paste. Sprinkle the meat and vegetables with the sea salt, then drizzle the oil over the garlic and vegetables. Transfer to the oven and roast for 30 mins, uncovered, then cover with foil and roast for a further 2 hrs.
Step 3
After 2 hrs, add the tomatoes to the tin, then cover and return the lamb to the oven for 1 hr more. Throw in the couscous (if using) to cook in the juices for the last 10 mins.
Step 4
Meanwhile, mix together the greek yoghurt and mint for the accompaniment.
Step 5
Allow the meat to rest for at least 15 mins before serving with the couscous, vegetables and yoghurt.
