Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. This area of Spain is so beautiful. Besides all the others, off course.

[@andyelliott292]

Simple and elegant cooking and a glass of red for the cook.

[@kyproset]

Such a great recipe, supported by great guitar music, thanx. I'll be trying it for Sunday lunch.

[@Redf322]

Looks great really enjoying this series.

[@Petespans]

Very encouraging to hear! Gracias

[@josephtoguchi675]

I love roast lamb and your recipe is one of Spain's top notch dishes. I will run and buy a lamb and try this dish.

[@LPJ790610]

My wife just gave this 5/5, we had it for Sunday lunch. I found myself texting my mother with a picture of the dish in finished format and with a link to your video as well (referring to you as my very favourite travel chef on KZbin, which is accurate). Keep going Pete. This type of food is lovely and you present it so very well. Thank you!

[@Petespans]

Thanks so much for encouragement! Bless you for sharing :)

[@uncledad711]

i know it's selfish....... but I'm so happy to have a Spanish chef on this platform, just for us it seems

[@natalialopes719]

Looks delicious. I am glad for you that you went inside where it’s warm.

[@Lughnerson]

Mmmmmm... real deal cooking.

[@ramg2112]

Now that's good taste, folks! Both for cooking and for filming.

[@Petespans]

I'll mail you the check, jejeje Thanks for the encouragement Rafael.

Video #100 was pretty special whether deliberately or otherwise. Who doesn't want to BBQ a lamb leg in the snow in January?!!

[@Petespans]

Never managed to do anything to mark the occasion: Perhaps at 500 :)

I’ve just watched this for the first time. It reminded me of the great lamb I’ve eaten in various parts of Spain, including Mallorca. Perhaps the best was in a tiny restaurant in Selva de Mar which, strangely, is not on the coast but about 3 miles inland just over the French border in Catalunya. We had to walk from Port de La Selva to order it and then walk back the following day. We had large gambas to start. The lamb leg roasted in the tray with potatoes, onions and peas and followed by melocoton al horno. Simple but magnificent. That was just over 30 years ago but I sill remember it fondly.

[@Petespans]

I've been to Selva! I did several videos from Port de la Selva! I doubt that restaurant still exists. Was it in the village or on the way? There is a restaurant on the way on the right

[@tonylenton8385]

@@Petespans It was in the village which, at the time, seemed a little down at heel. The restaurant was on the right after entering the village in a sort of square. I’ve looked it up and I’m sure it’s no longer there. It was a family affair and well worth the effort of walking there and back from the Port four times. I’d been with my family so knew the area but this time was with two mates. We’d been to watch United in Montpelier and fancied popping down into Spain for a few days. The Spanish seem to eat their lamb a bit younger than us as the cuts are invariably smaller. Whatever the reason they really know how to treat it. No fussing- great ingredients cooked simply. Getting the salt right seems to be one of the keys.

[@LPJ790610]

Top notch, I made it three times now for alternative "Sunday roast". Simple, tasty, effective -- thanks Pete!

🙏❤️

[@thethirstymason9684]

Looks lovely Pete. Next time though in order to protect the potatoes fill up an aluminium tray with a bit of water and stock. And place it atop the charcoal prior to placing the grill and roast. That way it acts as a convection oven as opposed to direct blistering heat from the bottom that radiates from the top and back. When your ready to brown everything is then you remove the tray and hit with direct heat. But I bed it was amazing none the less. 👍

[@Petespans]

Great tip! I lack bbq experience :) Would not more liquid in the tray, plus some cooking paper on the bottom do the trick?

[@thethirstymason9684]

@@Petespans that sounds good too, ive never tried it that way. I think the extra moisture in the tray would ultimately prevent even browing though. I think the cooler more moist rich cooking environment may be the answer. This is how I do my Christmas roast to impart a lovely smoke to the meat.however I start with it covered in aluminium 1st to cook things through evenly for abot an hour per kg then take off the aluminium to colour things.

[@Petespans]

Absolutely! I asked in the restaurant if it was ever done with leg, and the answer was yes!

@@Petespans Superb, that’s Sunday lunch sorted 👍

[@Benecio84]

Hi Pete. Not sure if you'll be able to reply in time but thought I'd give it a shot. I'm cooking this lamb this afternoon. I've got a whole piece, I want to try and prep it the way the butcher has done for you. Has the butcher chopped through part of the meat and bone but left the meat whole on the sides so it stays in one piece? Bon Profit! Ben 😎

[@Petespans]

Yeah, I think you go through the bone, but leave the meat on the bottom in tact. Sorry I missed you question earlier :( Bon Profit!!

[@Benecio84]

@Petespans Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a go but if I can't get through those bones I'll just roast and carve as usual. Looking forward to it later on 👍🏼
