I've tried this recipe sous vide and smoked. I like the smoked texture better than sous vide, which is too soft for my liking. I finish this on the grill to get that char and all the crispy bits. If you dont want to use the smoker/grill, this would easily work in an oven. A reduction of balsamic vinegar with some beef umami really step the flavor up.

Instructions to make to make Smoked Leg of Lamb

1. Prepare the lamb paste by combining the onion, garlic, 2 Bou beef cubes, anchovies, rosemary, thyme, salt, black and red pepper, and cumin in a food processor or chop together on a board. Use extra anchovy oil (or olive) as necessary to form a paste.
2. Open the leg of lamb, and flatten out any lumps by scoring with a knife. Rub 3/4 of the paste on the exposed leg.
3. Roll the leg back up, and truss with butcher's twine. Rub the remaining 1/4 of the paste on the outside.
4. Prepare your smoker (or oven) to 275 °F. Cook the lamb until 130°F in the center. About 3-3.5 hours.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the herbs and spices.
6. Heat 2 qts of oil for frying to 300°F. Fry the parsley, mint, and rosemary for 60 seconds.
7. Increase the oil temp to 325°F and fry the spices for 3-4 minutes. I use a fine mesh strainer to keep the seeds together.
8. Place the fried herbs and spices on a tray lined with paper towels to cool. They will remain crispy after they cool down. You can even store the extra in a Ziploc for several days and they will remain crispy.
9. Pour the bottle of balsamic into a small pot. Add the other beef bouillon cube, gelatin, and the mustard. Bring to a boil and reduce by half until the reduction clings to the back of a wooden spoon.
10. I like to pour the reduction into a squirt bottle and keep it for other dishes. Just reheat in the microwave first.
11. Place the potatoes in a small pot, cover with water and add 3 Tbsp of salt to the water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes.
12. On a sheet pan, prepare the broccolini. Lay the boiled potatoes out, and lightly smash with the bottom of a glass. Drizzle everything with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
13. When the lamb is almost done, prepare a bed of coals in a grill. Alternatively, when the lamb finishes cooking, remove from oven and heat the oven to 500°F
14. Sear the lamb, potatoes, and broccolini for 4-6 minutes.
15. Remove and plate on a platter if desired. Sprinkle the fried herbs and spices on top for a table show piece.
16. Plate with a slice of lamb, the potatoes, and broccolini, and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
