Servings: persons

1/4 cup harissa*
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound lamb knuckle or bottom roast
2 cans (14.5 oz. each) chickpeas (garbanzos), drained and rinsed
2/3 cup fresh mint leaves
Peel from 1 lemon (use a vegetable peeler), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

1
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat (450u00b0 to 550u00b0; you can hold your hand 5 in. above cooking grate only 2 to 4 seconds). In a small bowl, combine harissa, garlic, and 1/4 cup oil; set some aside for serving. Cut lamb into 4 pieces, then brush 2 tbsp. of paste over each. Grill lamb, turning and brushing with a little more paste as you go, until done the way you like, about 10 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes, then slice.
2
For salad, mix together chickpeas, mint, lemon peel, juice, salt, onion, and remaining 1/4 cup oil. Serve lamb slices over or mixed into bean salad, with reserved harissa sauce on the side.
