Greek Grilled Leg of Lamb image

My sister-in-law taught me how to make lamb in this way. It must be marinated overnight for maximum flavor. This is our favorite Sunday lunch (we have it with oven-roasted potatoes and a big salad).

I've tried a lot of different recipes for grilled lamb, but this one is by far the best. The marinade is perfect and the lamb is always cooked to perfection.

I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but this recipe changed my mind. The meat was so juicy and flavorful, I couldn't get enough of it.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The lamb is fall-off-the-bone tender and the flavor is divine.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lamb didn't turn out as tender as I would have liked.
