Fellow Wine Blogger Erika Strum offers her fragrant recipe for Roasted Lamb with Charmoula on her blog StrumErika.com. According to Strum, Charmoula is a Middle Eastern herb and garlic sauce that yields, "a great deal of flavor beyond its modest preparation time."
Her Charmoula recipe includes cumin seeds, Italian parsley, mint, cilantro, garlic cloves, sweet smoked paprika or Hungarian paprika, cayenne pepper and lemon juice.
She used a whole lamb roast and marinated the meat overnight so that the spices were well-absorbed.
Strum served the lamb with homemade taboule, hummus, and pita and a glass of Cabernet but also recommends a red Rhone wine for this Mediterranean feast.

Hey Kathleen, thanks for the link love! Did you try out the recipe?
Erika,
No, I didn't, as I don't eat meat - but I hold your palate for food and wine in high esteem so I'm confident in passing on the pairing!
