garlic, oregano and cayenne. Pulse a few times to break up, scraping
down as needed. Add the oil and process until a paste has formed.
2. Rub the paste all over the lamb (remove any butcher's twine or netting
so the lamb can be evenly coated). Transfer to a large mixing bowl,
covered with plastic, or to a 2-gallon resealable bag. Marinate in the
refrigerator for 2 hours, up to overnight.
3. Once lamb has marinated, remove from bowl/bag and tie tightly with
butcher's twine in 2-inch intervals. and then fit onto the spit. Secure
well with the skewers.
4. Adjust the rack to position 1 and place the baking pan on the rack. Fit
the spit into the oven and set to the Meat setting on the Rotisserie
function at 400°F for 45 minutes. The lamb is cooked when the internal
temperature reaches 130°F, for medium rare. Allow it to rest for 10
minutes before slicing and serving.
5. While lamb is cooking, prepare the Yogurt-Tahini Sauce. In a small bowl
whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until homogenous. Reserve
in the refrigerator (this can be made in advance and stored in an airtight
container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week).
6. Using the rotisserie grip, remove the lamb from the oven. Allow to rest
for at least 5 to 10 minutes before carving .
7. To serve, thinly slice lamb and serve with the Yogurt-Tahini Sauce and
toasted pita bread.
