GRILLED LEG OF LAMB WITH GARLIC AND HERB LEMON MARINADE
This is really the only recipe I use when I grill a leg of lamb. Plan ahead, the lamb needs to marinate 24 hours or overnight. This marinade can also be used for lamb chops. A butterflied leg of lamb is with the bones removed and cut to spread open, you can ask your butcher to remove the bones and butterfly it for you. If you prefer a more lemony taste then thinly slice half of another lemon, leave the peel on, and just throw the slices inside the bag or bowl with along with the other marinade. If desired you can also stuff the lamb with garlic cloves as well as adding the minced garlic in with the marinade. Grilling time depends on size of lamb. This recipe produces an excellent grilled lamb that melts in your mouth, try to not overcook the lamb, for best results leave slightly pink in the middle.

LEMON, HERB & GARLIC MARINADE
I've adapted this from a Jamie Oliver recipe. Jamie makes it with his 'flavour shaker' but as most people probably don't have one - you can use a mortar and pestle. Use this marinade for steak, chicken or fish. It imparts a wonderful flavour. We had it with steak and it made it beautifully moist and tender and lemony - quite a different taste for steak but absolutely delicious! Quantities given should make enough to marinade 2-3 steaks or 2 large chicken breasts or 4 fillets of fish.

Tips:
- Choose the right herbs: For a classic lemon-herb marinade, try using a combination of thyme, rosemary, oregano, and basil. Adjust the herbs based on your taste preferences or the type of dish you're marinating.
- Use fresh herbs whenever possible: Fresh herbs impart a more vibrant flavor to the marinade. If using dried herbs, use about 1/3 of the amount specified in the recipe.
- Don't overcrowd the marinade: Make sure there is enough marinade to cover the food completely, but don't overcrowd the container. Overcrowding can prevent the marinade from penetrating the food evenly.
- Marinate for the right amount of time: The marinating time will depend on the type of food you are marinating and the desired level of flavor. Generally, marinating for at least 30 minutes is recommended, but you can marinate for longer periods of time if desired.
- Discard the marinade after use: Do not reuse the marinade after it has been used to marinate food. This is to prevent the growth of bacteria.
