Butterflied Leg of Lamb
This is the best way we know to grill lamb—it's easier to reach that perfect pinkness with a butterfly cut. If you're lucky you'll have leftovers, as it's just great cold the next day. Think of topping this, hot or cold, with herbed mayonnaise or aioli. Just a little smidgen will do!
Servings: Serves 8
Ingredients
Directions
Combine the wine, soy sauce, garlic, mint, rosemary and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Place the lamb in a nonreactive baking pan. Pour the mixture over the lamb, cover, and refrigerate for 6 hours, turning the lamb frequently.
Prepare hot coals for grilling. Drain the meat, reserving the marinade. Grill the lamb 4 inches above the hot coals, basting frequently with the marinade, about 20 minutes on each side. Check the lamb for doneness frequently after 30 minutes' grilling. Cut the lamb into very thin slices, and serve immediately.
