The video is about cooking a leg of lamb over a wood fire. The chef starts by making cuts on the leg and applying a garlic and rosemary paste all over it, including inside the cuts. He also seasons the meat with black pepper. The leg is then cooked over the wood fire for about 5 hours, with the chef occasionally adjusting the distance between the meat and the fire.
While the lamb is cooking, the chef prepares a habanero sauce by roasting tomatoes, garlic, and habanero chilies over the fire. He then blends these ingredients with some smoked salt and lemon juice.
Once the lamb is cooked, the chef lets it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing it thinly. He serves the lamb with the habanero sauce, warm tortillas, and some toppings like onion, lemon, and cilantro.
The chef also prepares a sandwich with the leftover lamb meat, using a yogurt dressing with cucumber, parsley, and habanero as a topping. He recommends reheating the meat by adding a little water and covering it over heat, which makes the meat juicy and tender.
Throughout the video, the chef emphasizes the importance of patience and low heat when cooking over a wood fire, as well as the benefits of using fresh and high-quality ingredients.
