Spit roasted leg of lamb with pumpkin chimichurri, roasted pumpkin with potatoes, and chick peas in an aji amarillo curry.
Final Entry
I don't have time to edit this on my computer, so I'm posting pics from my phone as a photo dump.
I split open and deseeded a whole pumpkin. 2/3rds of the pumpkin I immediately threw in the oven at 350 for an hour to soften up to puree for the chimichurri.
The leg of lamb, I popped holes in, jammed garlic cloves in it, then rubbed it with olive oil and fresh garden rosemary. I put 2 swords through the leg, and put it on my Weber for some spit roasting.
Once the pumpkin was soft from the oven, I blended some up with garlic, salt, parsley stems, aji amarillo, and red wine vingar. I then added this to a bowl with minced leaf parsley, oregano, and olive oil. Pumpkin chimichurry
The 1/3rd of uncooked pumpkin, I trimmed the thick skin off, then cubed it, and tossed it with cut red potatoes, olive oil, garlic, cinnamon, minced aji amarillo, S&P and garden rosemary. This roasted in the oven at 350 til nice and tender.
I pressure cooked the chickpeas with tomatoes, onions, aji amarillo, and curry powder, til nice and soft.
The lamb was served on a toasted tandoori naan, with some dallops of horseradish, smothered in pumpkin chimichurri, and a light dusting of cotija cheese. Roasted pumpkin and potatoes on the side, as well as a healthy portion of curried aji amarillo chickpeas.
Deeeeeeelicious!!!!
