This looks like the most promising roast lamb recipe I've seen. I've given up using legs of lamb and I know Egyptians use pureed onions to tenderize meat. As you know the Middle East uses a different type of lamb - fat tailed - which tastes very different and superior to the lamb from New Zealand, Australia and North America. There is a grill house in Cairo that cooks lamb that is the best I've ever eaten. I assume Egyptians used to use some kind of leaves to wrap the meat in. Do you have any idea what kind of leaf they used? I've lived in Egypt and I think parchment paper is a more recent alternative.

@hqff8582 Жыл бұрын

No clue what leaves they use, but you can definitely use banana leaves with some wet parchment paper on the outside to trap the moisture

I just found your channel and oh boy I‘m so excited to try this out. One question: I‘ve used to purée/blend onions in the past but they often turn out very bitter, which is why I‘ve used manual food processors that don’t go that fine instead. How do you prevent onions from turning bitter when you blend them?

Kinda scary but my grandfather was a big Italian guy(he was from somewhere on the coast of Calabria) and he would scare visitors by actually drinking grated onions for his lamb roast. He raised his own fat tail sheep, I can find that meat anywhere in my town but it tastes much better(very subtle but it seems sweeter and a tad bit richer.)

@canneso 2 ай бұрын

Hi! Obviously I'm not the creator, but like he said, leg can be a little more prone to fibrous meat in general. Did you cook it at 160C fan assisted? I would personally cook it at a lower temperature than that for longer, but that's just me. Also, make sure that the paper is really secure and wrapped well. Otherwise, it's pointless. Other than that, I'm not sure ❤

There’s a physical process happening with the shaking of hot stuff that makes it expand. If you fill a bottle with hot water, cap it, then agitate, it will expand in size. Can’t remember why. But it can be fought with a good sense of humour.

@ReBeLuTsA Жыл бұрын

Here's the explanation on a 7th grade level, for whoever might be interested and curious enough to read: The liquid state of matter is defined by it having a defined volume/density and no defined form. Gas on the other hand doesn't have a defined volume/density either and it will fill any recipient it is released into. Since pressure rises with temperature, if you shake a bottle with hot water, it will transfer the heat to the gas (air) in the bottle, that rises the volume, and since the volume is finite, it will rise the pressure, causing it to squirt all over in the worse of cases. I might have skipped some important information, but I think it's still understandable.

Try fasting like Copts, the inheritors of ancient Egypt. Coptic fasting is longer and much more severe than Ramadan. Out of the 365 days of the year, Copts often fast between 210 to 240 days. According to the Coptic tradition of fasting periods, the diet is mainly vegan, cooked with either oil or water. No animal products (meat, poultry, milk, eggs, butter, etc.) are allowed. Fish is permissible during the Advent fast, the Apostles' Fast, and the fast of the Dormition of Saint Mary except on Wednesdays and Fridays of these fasts. A strict abstinence period, where no food or drink whatsoever may be taken, is encouraged for those who can endure it. The original tradition of the Church is for this period of abstinence to begin at midnight and last through sunset.
