Roast Lamb with Asafoetida

It was very common for asafoetida to be use as a basic seasoning with many kinds of meat. On its own and in larger quantities, this spice can be very successful and even I, who don’t find asafoetida particularly to my taste, like it in this way. Try this simple marinade and basting mixture with loin or chump chops or leg steaks of lamb. It works well as a barbecue sauce if that is your preferred method of cooking.
