Paprika-Roasted Leg of Lamb

Recipe by Marcus Samuelsson

(48 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

Lamb, says Marcus Samuelsson, is one of Africa's most popular meats. Here, he butterflies a leg to help it cook more quickly and rubs it with paprika, ancho chile and ground cardamom—recalling the fiery Mozambique condiment piri-piri.

Pairing Suggestion

With their gamey notes and firm tannins (more European than Australian in style), South African Shirazes and Syrahs would pair superbly with this spice-roasted lamb. Two terrific choices are the juicy, smoky 2004 Porcupine Ridge and the blackberry-rich 2004 Indaba.
