{{Template:AdvancePreparation}}

This is a version of [[Barbecued Harissa lamb]] for slow cooking. It produces a far superior result to barbecuing, but does take a little longer.

Made with a defrosted frozen half-leg of lamb, this lasted 2 people for 2 days - I used the same [[marinade]] ingredients as for 6 people, but with slightly less [[harissa paste]].

| 1.6kg leg of [[lamb]], boned and butterflied (ask your butcher to do this for you)
