Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (3 to 4 lemons)
1 cup loosely packed mint leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Salt, to taste
3 1/4 pounds shank, half of a butterflied leg of lamb
3 lemons, thinly sliced
Fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the marinade, combine first 9 ingredients and 4 tablespoons water in a blender; process until smooth.
  • Place lamb in a nonreactive dish; add marinade. Turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate up to overnight. If refrigerated, let lamb return to room temperature before grilling.
  • Brush a grill with oil; heat to medium hot. Remove excess marinade from lamb. Grill until well browned, 12 to 16 minutes; turn and cook 12 to 16 minutes more, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees in thickest part (for medium rare). Grill lemon slices for garnish. Transfer lamb to a cutting board; let stand 15 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve with grilled lemon and fresh mint.
