Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

a 7- to-8 pound leg of lamb, trimmed of excess fat, boned, and butterflied by butcher (4 to 4 3/4 pounds boneless)
2 onions, chopped
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
Accompaniment: hot red pepper relish
HOT RED PEPPER RELISH
2 pounds red bell peppers, chopped fine (about 4 cups)
2 onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 cups cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon crushed dried hot red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Cut lamb into 2 pieces where there is a natural separation in meat and put each piece into a large sealable plastic bag.
  • In a food processor, purée all remaining ingredients (except relish) until smooth and divide marinade evenly between plastic bags. Seal bags, pressing out excess air, and put in a shallow baking pan. Marinate lamb, chilled, turning bags once or twice, at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare grill.
  • Discard marinade and grill lamb in batches if necessary on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 7 to 10 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Serve lamb, thinly sliced across the grain, with relish.
  • In a heavy saucepan, stir together ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour, or until reduced to about 3 cups. Relish may be made 1 month ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Serve relish chilled or at room temperature.

This was my first time cooking lamb and it turned out great! The meat was tender and juicy, and the relish was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought the lamb was a bit dry. I think I might try brining it next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender and the relish was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The lamb was tender and juicy, but the relish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably try a different relish next time.

I'm a big fan of grilled lamb, and this recipe did not disappoint! The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the marinade added a delicious crust. The hot red pepper relish was the perfect accompaniment - it added a nice kick of heat without being too ov

I have to say, I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first. I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I was pleasantly surprised. The marinade really helped to tenderize the meat and the relish added a lot of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again!

The lamb was cooked perfectly. It was tender and flavorful, and the marinade gave it a delicious crust. The relish was also very good. It had a nice kick to it, but it wasn't too spicy. It paired perfectly with the lamb.

This lamb dish was an absolute delight! The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the hot red pepper relish added a perfect balance of spice and tang. I served it over a bed of couscous and roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my dinner guests. Will
