Marinated Grilled Lamb Recipe

Prep: 10 min. + marinating Grill: 1-1/2 hours + standing

Yield: 10 Servings

10 90 100

Ingredients

1 boneless leg of lamb (3 to 4 pounds), trimmed
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Additional salt and pepper

Directions

If leg of lamb is tied, untie it. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lemon juice, wine, oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme oregano, salt and pepper; add lamb. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
Drain and discard marinade. Prepare grill for indirect medium heat. Place rosemary sprig on lamb; roll up and tie with kitchen string, leaving a small section of the sprig exposed. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper.
Grill lamb, covered, over indirect medium heat for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove rosemary sprig. Let meat stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 10 servings.
