Akorn Jr - Lemon Lamb in Banana Leaves

[ckreef]

Thought I would play with my Akorn Jr and I had a little lamb in the freezer. Also first time using banana leaves. 

Started by trimming and scoring a little lamb. Made a paste from lemon juice and Bush Lamb seasoning. Let that sit in the fridge for a couple of hours. 

 

 

Two cross layers of foil, parchment paper, string and banana leaves. Added the lamb and sauce then wrapped it all up. Onto the Akorn Jr it goes running steady just shy of 300*.

 

Mrs skreef also made some muffin pan potatoes on Cassiopeia. 

 

4 hours later dinner is served. Just barely enough lamb. No leftovers this time.

TY MacKenzie - The Akorn Jr performed flawlessly - for a Jr sized travel kamado I love it. 

Also liked the banana leaves. Will use them more in the future.

Thanks for the inspiration, Charles. I still have a pack and a half of banana leaves in the freezer from the Kalua pork roast cook.

Yes, they do impart some mild flavor, at least my pork roast did. It's one of the reasons it's used in this technique.
