Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole-milk yogurt, divided
1 teaspoon plus 3 1/2 tablespoons Tabil Spice Blend
5 large garlic cloves, minced, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more for seasoning
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 4-5 pound butterflied leg of lamb, opened like a book
4 lemons, halved

Steps:

  • Mix 1 cup yogurt, 1 teaspoon Tabil Spice Blend, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. Whisk remaining 1 cup yogurt, remaining 3 1/2 tablespoons Tabil Spice Blend, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp. salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, oil, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add lamb; turn to coat. Cover and chill overnight, turning occasionally.
  • Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Grill until meat is cooked to desired doneness, 10-15 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill lemon halves, cut side down, until charred, about 5 minutes. Thinly slice lamb against the grain and arrange on a platter; garnish with lemons. Serve with reserved yogurt sauce.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the yogurt marinade added a nice flavor. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
