HERB GARDEN MARINADE FOR LAMB
I love the taste of fresh herbs with lamb. Use this marinade recipe as a guide, or adjust to your own tastes. Love mint? Add more. Hate oregano? Leave it out and add more of the other herbs. There is enough marinade for about 3 pounds of lamb chops. Double or triple it for a leg of lamb roast.

GRILLED MARINATED LEG OF LAMB
Steps:
- Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in sealable plastic bag. Add lamb and seal bag, pressing out air. Turn bag to coat lamb, then put bag in a shallow baking pan and marinate, chilled, turning bag over occasionally, at least 8 hours.
- Bring lamb to room temperature, about 1 hour, before grilling.
- Prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure.
- Remove lamb from marinade (discard marinade) and run 3 or 4 skewers lengthwise through lamb about 2 inches apart. Grill on a lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over occasionally and, if necessary, moving around on grill to avoid flare-ups, until thermometer registers 125 to 128°F, 8 to 14 minutes total for medium-rare.
- Transfer lamb to a cutting board and remove skewers. Let lamb stand, loosely covered with foil, 20 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to 135°F while meat stands.) Cut across the grain into slices.

Steps:
- Bone and clean all membrane and fat from lamb.
- This will yield 2 or 3 large chunks and 2-3 small ones depending on how clean you get the lamb,how large your leg is and if you bought the whole leg or just a section.
- (Save the bone and trimmings for stock, it makes a really awesome sauce).
- Marinate in dressing for at-least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
- The straight dressing tends to be a bit sweet for some folks, so cut it with dry red wine and olive oil if desired.
- Grill or broil lamb on skewers until desired degree of doneness is reached.
- You can add some blanched onion, mushroom and tomato to the skewers if desired.
- Serve with rice and sumac.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of lamb: For this recipe, a leg of lamb or shoulder of lamb is best. These cuts are tender and flavorful, and they hold up well to marinating.
- Make sure the lamb is well-marinated: The longer the lamb marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Marinate the lamb for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the lamb its flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. This recipe uses a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
- Cook the lamb over medium heat: Lamb is a delicate meat, so it's important to cook it over medium heat to prevent it from becoming tough. Cook the lamb until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Let the lamb rest before serving: Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This easy marinated lamb recipe is a delicious and foolproof way to cook lamb. The marinade is packed with flavor, and the lamb is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family, and it's perfect for any occasion.
