Easy Marinated Lamb Recipe
Recipe Serves: 4
Ingredients for Marinated Lamb Recipe
Marinated Butterfly Leg Of Lamb
1 c Red wine
1/2 c Soy sauce (up to 3/4 C)
1 tb Rosemary leaves, crushed
1 tb Black pepper, fresh
4 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 Half leg of lamb, butterflied
Marinated Lamb Preparation
Mix together all of the ingredients except the lamb. Place the lamb in a bowl or pan that will not be corroded by the marinade (a glass 9×13 pan works well).
Pour most of the marinade over the lamb. Swish the lamb around and get it soaked on both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least several hours, turning occasionally.
Start a fire in the grill and get the coals very warm but not flaming.
Place lamb on grill about 3-4 inches from the coals. Cook on this side for 20 minutes, basting with the extra marinade occasionally. Turn the meat over and cook another 20 minutes.
After 10 minutes on the second side, start checking for done-ness.
Contrary to many people’s ideas, lamb should not be well done but should still be a little pink (medium rare to medium is perfect in my opinion). When done, slice thin and serve.
NOTES: * Grilled butterflied leg of lamb – This is the best recipe I have ever had for lamb. It really brings out the flavor wonderfully, and because it’s grilled, it’s quite a good low fat recipe.
Yield: Serves 4-6.
* For the meat, you need a half leg of lamb which has been butterflied. A good butcher can do this for you but don’t be afraid of trying it yourself. To butterfly the leg, take a sharp knife and start at the side and work towards the bone.
Once you have found the bone, work along it so you have one side completely slit and then cut out the bone. You can keep the bone to use as a stock for soup.
: Difficulty: easy. : Time: 5 minutes preparation, overnight marinating, 40 minutes cooking.
