Roast Lamb With Harissa

• One (3½ lb) semi boneless leg of lamb
• ¼ c + 1 tbsp Mina Mild Harissa, divided
• 6 garlic cloves, sliced in half
• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 large (2 lb) baking potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into 8 wedges
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 c grape or cherry tomatoes
• ⅓ c Kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
• ⅓ c dry white wine
• 1 c reduced-sodium beef or chicken broth
• 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped

Using a thin knife, trim excess fat and silver skin from the lamb. Using the knife tip, cut 12 slits, about 1-inch wide and deep, into the meaty parts of the lamb. Spread ¼ c harissa over the lamb, pushing some of the harissa into the slits. Insert 1 garlic clove half into each slit. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Remove lamb from refrigerator and season with 1 tsp salt. Toss potato wedges with 2 tbsp oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread in a single layer in a roasting pan.

Place lamb on top of potatoes and drizzle with 1 tbsp oil. Place in oven and roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the lamb, not touching a bone, reads 125°F for medium-rare, about 1¼ hours. During the last 15 minutes of cooking time scatter tomatoes and olives in the pan.

Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and the vegetables to a serving platter. Tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Heat the roasting pan over high heat until sizzling. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits in the pan. Season to taste with salt. Stir in broth and boil until reduced by half, 3-4 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 tbsp harissa. Pour into a sauceboat.

Carve the lamb and serve alongside vegetables. Sprinkle with parsley and mint. Serve with the sauce on the side.
