Harissa Roasted Leg of Lamb

Tuesday Dinner

- Harissa Roasted Leg of Lamb
- Roasted Vegetables (Pumpkin, Turnips, Carrots)
- Fried Wild Mushrooms with Bacon

With Harissa paste, it is easy to make Moroccan style dishes.  It goes so well with lamb.  I love the exotic flavour of Harissa, just the right amount of heat with pungent cumin.  I always have a jar in the fridge.
