I guess it was bound to happen that I would use one of my favorites meats for "Pastrami"
After the success with ButtStrami I figured I should give it a try.
I picked up a boneless leg of lamb and cleaned it up.

I continue to use a dry cure recipe that's a variation from HabaneroSmoker from the recipe site. Outstanding recipe! I mainly omit any "Fire" for my Dad to be able to enjoy it.

Rubbed both sides and place into the zip lock bag.

Ill probably go for about 3-5 days of cure. The lamb is not thick at all. It came in at 5lbs after it was cleaned up.
Gracias
Watching this one!
Yep, can't wait to see how this turns out. I know it will be delicious.
Very interesting Sam

Check out this recipe http://www.de-lish.co.uk/about/recipes/fenalar/ or any recipe for fenalar, which is a whole leg of mutton cured like Prosciutto. Not as nice as prosciutto IMHO but another way of preparing lamb or mutton to add to the choice.
Gracias. It great to be able to to experiment.
Took it out today.

Used the frog mat to compress it and role it up. Makes it much easier to insert it into the netting. You can even oil it up a bit.

Its hung in the fridge to hopefully smoke tomorrow.
No rub on the outside.
Gracias

Lookin gooood!!
Might have to try out this meat they call Lamb ;D
My wife says I don't make enough lamb. This is something I would love to try!
Not to happy with the aesthetics so far. I should have put the meat in a press.
