This lamb dish taste like the authentic "Kambing Guling" or slow roast lamb in fire pit. It is sweet, savory, a bit spicy and overall satisfying and it does not taste "gamey".
In indonesian: Meuni lekoh pisaaannnnn.. I think this dish appeals to both Indonesian and foreigner taste ..
Ingredients:
1 Package of lambrack. Note: biasanya bentuknya seperti ini dan terdiri dari 8-10 iga potong2x sehingga masing2x punya tulang sendiri (jadi 8-10 potong)

Marinade:
8 Shallots
6 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp ground corriander
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cube chicken buillon (chicken stock)
1/4 cup oil
Method:
1. Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a blender until smooth.
2. Put lamb chop and the marinade in a ziplock plastic bag and leave it for 3 hours or longer, i personally marinade it for 24 hours.
3. Take the meat out from the marinade and make sure that it doesnt have too much marinade sticking on it (it'll burn quick). Save the marinade.
4. Cook the lamb on a grill (or on an ironcast grill pan) until it has that grill marks but not quite done, set aside
5. Melt the butter and sautee the leftover marinade until frgrant, add chilli flakes and sweet soy sauce. cook for 5 minutes in medium heat and add the chopped green onion. Adjust the taste with salt/ sugar or pepper to your liking.
6. Dip the grilled lamb in the sweet soy sauce mix and put it back onto the grill and cook until desired doneness, watch for burns. This caramelizes fast.
