I love grilling leg of lamb. Thought I'd share a recipe. I pretty much do this every time but I am at the point where I don't really need to think about it.
Ingredients:
1 leg of lamb
5 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 medium lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Extra lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, oregano, rosemary, lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the marinade for the lamb.
3. Take the lamb leg and using a sharp knife, make horizontal slits into the meat, about 1 inch deep. Make sure not to pierce through the meat.
4. Pour the marinade over the lamb, rubbing into the slits and making sure it is evenly coated.
5. Allow the lamb to sit in the marinade for at least 30 minutes, though it is best if it is marinated for a few hours. The longer you marinate, the more time the lamb has to soak up all those delicious Greek flavors.
6. Once the lamb is marinated, place it onto the grill, and cook for 15 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (medium-rare).
7. Once the lamb is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
8. Serve the lamb with additional lemon wedges on the side to add a freshness and contrast of flavor. You can also add any other sides that you prefer, such as a Greek salad, roasted vegetables, or pita bread.
