That silvery-white skin sure is hard to remove. I have to hack at it and discard rather a lot of meat with it. Is it supposed to be that way? It seems like for everyone else, it just pulls off easily.
This piece of meat didn't look like the video I watched, so I trimmed off some unidentified piece. It separated cleanly so it's obviously another cut. Anyone know what it is? I guess I'll just throw it on with the rest of the leg tomorrow, as I don't really know what else to do with it. It's in the top of the photo below.
I will be using the leg of lamb recipe from this site as well as the lamb rub. I just got back from the States where I stocked up on exotic ingredients like whole mustard seed and paprika, so I can actually make the recipes here. I'm looking forward to it, there will be about 10 people over to eat. I am making French green beans (with pork lard instead of duck fat because I couldn't find any even in the States) and maybe Xinjiang flat bread.
Well, it's in the fridge dry brining right now. Looking forward to tomorrow! If I screw it up then it's KFC for everyone. I'll be back to post the photos of the cook in this thread, so reply if you want to subscribe and be notified of what happens.
