EASY BONELESS HONEY MARINATED BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB



Easy Boneless Honey Marinated Butterflied Leg of Lamb image

Try this on the grill, it's awesome! (heat the grill to high, sear the lamb for about 5 minutes on all sides, reduce the grill heat to medium and cook for about 30 minutes for med-rare). Plan ahead the lamb needs to marinade for 24 hours. Since the lamb is butterflied you will need a large baking pan to cook in the oven, to save time as your butcher to butterfly it for you.

LAMB BROCHETTES

Steps:

  • Cut roasting-quality lamb, such as leg or loin, into 1 1/2-inch chunks. You may wish to marinate them for several hours or overnight, as suggested below; otherwise, season and oil the meat. Thread onto skewers, alternating each piece with a square of blanched bacon (see page 60) and a piece of imported bay leaf. Arrange on an oiled broiling pan or in a hinged rack. Broil 2 inches from heat, turning every 2 minutes for several minutes, until the meat is just springy to the touch.
  • Here is a basic formula that you may vary as you wish. For every 2 pounds of meat, mix the following in a bowl: 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon ground rosemary, thyme, oregano, or Provençal herbs (see page 44), 2 large cloves puréed garlic, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
  • Use fresh-tasting, neutral-flavored oils for cooking, such as light olive, canola, or other vegetable oils. Olive oils for flavoring and salads can be mild or fruity, and since they have become a status symbol, you can pay enormous prices for some of those labeled "extra virgin." Test them out yourself to find the brand or brands that suit you.
  • "EVOO" is contemporary cook talk for "extra virgin olive oil."

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb meat.
  • Trim any excess fat from the lamb before cutting it into cubes.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the lamb into even-sized cubes, so they cook evenly.
  • Make sure to marinate the lamb for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the lamb, you can still cook it on skewers, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • To prevent the skewers from burning, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Cook the lamb skewers over medium-high heat, turning them frequently, until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the lamb skewers rest for a few minutes before serving, so the juices can redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Marinated brochettes of lamb with honey is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the honey glaze adds a touch of sweetness and complexity. These skewers can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or pita bread.
