2 RECIPES INSIDE THIS RECIPE

Each with its own weights, steps and timings

The sauce, the cure, the dough, the dressing — a restaurant makes these itself, and so will you. Every one below is a full sub-recipe: its own ingredient list, its own method, its own yield and shelf life. Nothing says «use shop-bought».

Onion juice marinade

Film

Grated onion wrung through a sieve, mixed with milk, oil and pepper — no salt, no acid.

Lemon and yogurt cure the surface and turn lamb mealy over a long marinade. Onion enzymes tenderise without that.

Skewer loading

Meat threaded with a cube of tail fat every second piece, pushed together but not crushed.

Lamb leg has almost no intramuscular fat; the tail fat melts down the skewer and is what stops it drying out.

METHOD

STEP BY STEP — 13 STEPS

11 photographed · 5 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 11 of the 13 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 5 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: keeping lean lamb from drying out — step 8 of 13.

The chef's hidden note

The onion-juice marinade that tenderises without souring, and the fat cube spacing that bastes the meat as it turns.
