Ingredients

1 whole goat or lamb leg about 3-4 pounds

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

2 teaspoons ground cumin

Chili sauce

5 dried guajillo chilies

1 dried chipotle chili optional

1 medium yellow onion 6 oz

5 cloves garlic

1 qt warm lamb stock

2 dried bay leaves

1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano

Directions

Season the leg

Preferably the night before, season the goat leg all over with the salt and pepper and refrigerate overnight. If you don’t have time to let it sit overnight, a few hours will do.

Smoking the lamb

Prepare a wood fire (alternately, you can smoke the lamb at 250 F for an hour or two, or just skip it. Cook the lamb over the wood, making sure the heat doesn’t get too hot, and allow it to smoke for at least 1 hour.

Put the lamb stock in the bowl of a blender with the onions, garlic, oregano, and chilis, then puree until smooth-ish.
