Description

For this barbacoa-spiced Easter lamb, we’re using the flavors of Central Mexican barbacoa, but not the traditional cooking method. This lamb will taste incredible sliced on a plate, and the leftovers make great tacos. And by the way, this method—slow, moist roasting—gives you melt-in-your-mouth tender, juicy, flavorful lamb leg roast, no matter what seasonings you use.

Ingredient:

  • 1 (6 to 7 pound) bone-in leg of lamb roast, fat layer trimmed to 1/4-inch
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt (see Note)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ground ancho chile
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle
  • 2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, halved
  • 4 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
