Moroccan Lamb Backstrap image

Recipe from Aziz Bakhalla from the Alhamra Restaurant in Manly, NSW, Australia. I have altered a little to suit the dried herbs & spices I was using and also converted several things to teaspoons, as a US tablespoon is 3 teaspoons whereas in Australia it's 4 teaspoons. Note the preparation time does not include one hour for marination. I thought it was splendid, but the marinade is about flavour not making the meat more tender so make sure you start with a really nice piece of lamb.

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 kg lamb backstraps (approx 2 pounds) or 1 kg lamb fillet (approx 2 pounds)
3 teaspoons cumin
3 teaspoons sweet paprika
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon dried coriander
2 teaspoons dried parsley
3 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
salt

Steps:

  • Cut lamb backstraps into 2cm / 1" strips.
  • Place lamb and all marindade ingredients into a bowl and mix well using your hands.
  • Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Grilling on a BBQ until medium/rare is suggested, although a little longer won't do any harm if you like it a little more done but don't go too overboard.
  • Serve with a light salad and minted yoghurt. I used Recipe#53979 for the minted yoghurt.

This recipe was a disaster! The lamb was overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The lamb is always cooked perfectly and the flavors are out of this world. I love serving it with roasted vegetables and a side of couscous.
