This is a great, spicy Moroccan lamb recipe and it's terrific on the grill...





1 small onion, chopped


3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger


1 tablespoon minced garlic


2 jalapeno or serrano peppers, seeded and minced


3 tablespoons sweet paprika


1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt


2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper


2 teaspoons ground coriander


1 teaspoon ground cumin


1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom


1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1/4 teaspoon ground allspice


1/4 teaspoon ground cloves


1/3 cup olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon


1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, divided


1 leg of lamb, deboned and butterflied, untied, about 3 to 3 1/2 pounds (just ask the butcher or meat dept to do this)





In a food processor, combine the onion, ginger, garlic, jalapeno, paprika, 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, coriander, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves and process until smooth. While the motor is running, add 1/3 cup of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and process to combine.





Place the lamb on a clean work surface, skin and fat side down. Rub half of the spice mixture over the lamb, then roll up tightly to form a cylinder shape and tie in 1 1/2-inch increments with butcher's twine. Rub the outside of the lamb with the remaining spice mixture and transfer to a plastic food storage bag just large enough to hold the lamb. Allow lamb to marinate for at least 6 hours, and up to overnight.





Preheat grill to medium-high heat.





Using paper towels, remove as much of the spice rub from the outside of the lamb, then rub the lamb on all sides 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Transfer the lamb to the grill and cook, turning every 15 minutes or so to promote even cooking. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the lamb registers 145 degrees F for medium-rare, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the lamb from the grill and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
