Hey Kelly
Bet you can’t wait to get out there again…
Maybe it was the fact it was Kiwi lamb – I didn’t think much of it when over
the ditch. It is much fattier.

We get the long cut leg. Mostly a fat cap which I cut off, since marinade has
oil. I cut the bone out to get 2 pieces, and cut out as much fat in between.
I too don’t like excess fat so I pretty much pull every piece of meat out and
pick the leanest, which tends to be the smallest.
I went back in time and found this old Smoke ring post, since it’s been a
while smoking, especially beef cheeks.

Hi Steve,
Thanks, that recipe looks great!!
The lamb I got was a pre-boned leg of lamb, from New Zealand I think. I bought
it at Costco…was pre-tied in a string net so I just cooked it that way.
I think it is just lamb leg in general. I’ve cooked a number of them over the
years, I’ve deboned whole legs myself, etc…and even then, just so fatty to me.
I don’t eat fat really., I mean, on steaks, I like the tiny flecks of marbling
on the meat interior, but any hunks or chunks I do not eat. I see people
eating the fat on a ribeye steak and it just gives me the willies.
*shiver*.
So, I dunno….I mean, I don’t think what I cooked this last time, was overly
fatty for leg of lamb…I think my conclusion is that leg of lamb is just too
fatty for me.
I only like to eat the meat portions, and with the leg, there is just so much
to cut away in between the meat sections.
I think I’d have more luck with the chops.
In the past, I’d cut as much fat out as I could on the leftover leg…and then
put it in the food processor…and use that chopped meat for sandwiches.
I don’t think I might a bit of fat if it is all chopped up on the mix, but I
just cannot eat whole pieces of fat and connective tissues….
But I do mine on a rotisserie over lump charcoal, sometimes with a bit of
hickory or other smoking woods in there….low and slow and spinning to self
marinate in its own cooking juices.
I”m not sure how much I paid for it….
I get my 2nd shot of the Pfizer vaccine here in a couple hours actually…..
There haven’t been any restrictions to speak of here in the states. I’ve been
self imposed staying at home 98% of the time…I’ve not had a hair cut in just
over a year how and I look like a balding old grey hippie.
My hair is beyond my shoulders…hahaha.
I do plan, to get out more after a couple weeks from today. I plan to go out
to eat again and get a hair cut.
My parent’s have both had vaccine, 2 doses of Moderna…and I plan to likely fly
up there in May for a visit since we didn’t get to see each other for holidays.
I have some friends wanting me to fly to Cabo San Lucas with them in May, but I
think more important to see my parents.
It will be nice to get out and stretch my legs again and get back to normal.
At least more so normal…haha.
I am SO hopeful and optimistic that all the many music and food fests that have
been postponed this year until fall will happen.
I”m still on the list to be a photographer for JazzFest and I really really
wanna do that!!

Hey Kelly
Deboned leg of lamb is my staple meat cooked over the fire pit grill. I’m
regularly getting good quality legs of lamb for $10-$11 /kg, a deboned hunk of
meat at this price is good value meat. Beef is very expensive here at the
moment, and I like lamb much better. If your lamb is too fatty, maybe it’s
mutton? I choose a nice small leg that looks lean, and cut off most of the fat.
I figure that’s tough for you at the moment stuck at home… Will you be free to
venture out at will once you get the second jab?

This the marinade I use, and then cook over coals, mostly a grill on the fire
pit now things are cooling down.
Camping out over Easter in the back yard round the fire pit, but I smoked
some chillies to make sauce and got an itch to smoke some meat in the offset as
well. So beef ribs and cheeks and nice and easy to do…
Cheers

Ok, this looks good:

I might try this.
I recently did a marinated boneless leg of lamb, flavor of the meat was good,
but just too fatty, it’s a pain to cut all around the fat to throw out to get
to the meat.
Figuring doing chops like this might work better for me...
