Time 3h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 leg of lamb (about six pounds), boned so that it lies flat
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
Freshly ground pepper to taste
About 30 mint leaves (enough to cover the base of a serving dish)

Steps:

  • Wipe lamb dry with paper towels and remove any large pieces of fat. In a small bowl, mix together mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, rosemary and pepper. Spread mixture over lamb on both sides. Refrigerate for three hours or overnight.
  • Preheat coal for grilling. Spread mint leaves on a serving dish so that they make a thick carpet. Lay lamb on a rack and grill seven to eight minutes on each side for medium rare. Cook longer for well done.
  • Place lamb on a board and slice pieces thin with a sharp knife. Arrange pieces on top of the mint in overlapping layers and serve.

I would not recommend this recipe. The lamb was bland and the mint sauce was overpowering.

This recipe was a disaster. The lamb was overcooked and the mint sauce was too strong.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the lamb turned out tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The lamb was a bit dry, but the mint sauce helped to add some moisture.

This dish was a bit too gamey for my taste, but the mint sauce was delicious.
