Pre heat your oven to 250 degrees (I used a Big Green Egg BBQ in the show)
Make cuts across the surface of the leg of lamb in a crisscross fashion about 1cm deep.
Combine the harissa paste, yoghurt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt if required. Smear the paste all over the cut leg of lamb and then sprinkle with the crushed coriander seeds.
Place the lamb leg on a roasting rack over a tray and place inside the hot oven and cook for 45 minutes on high heat.
While the lamb is cooking, heat the oil in a wok and fry the eggplant chunks until golden and soft, then remove and drain. Repeat the process until all the eggplant is cooked. Remove all but 3 tablespoons of oil from the wok and reheat.
Add the sliced onions and season with a teaspoon of salt. Fry for 5 minutes until soft and starting to brown.
Add the spices and pureed garlic and ginger and fry for a further 2-3 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes and combine. Then add the drained eggplant and fold together. Turn of the heat and season with vinegar, salt and pepper. Then add the chopped herbs and leave to settle.
When the lamb is cooked allow to rest for 15 minutes and then serve whole with the eggplant brinjal.
We have a Big Green Egg and i will be cooking this one in it for sure. They are the Rolls Royce of Charcoal BBQ's. The Big Green Egg is the correct name of it and their websitre is biggreenegg.com there is a cheaper one out there that BBQ Galore sell but it's a copy and isnt as good. Would highly recommend if you can afford one buy it cause they are awesome. :)
Ben, I cooked this on Sunday and WOW, what a magnificent recipe, the family loved the taste, and the quick roast in a hot bbq gave us crusty skin and nice and rare meat. Tonight I carved the rest of the meat from the bone, heated it in a fry pan with some salt, ground pepper and lemon juice and enjoyed our own home made souvlaki meat.
