SUPER SIMPLE LAMB MARINADE
This is such a simple marinade, so easy to prepare and best of all - it's done in a big zip-lock bag, so there's no mess to clean up. It's great for grilling or for roasting. I use it on any cut of lamb. I'm splurging on two 1-pound pre-frenched racks of lamb from "New Zealand Fresh Lamb" for our anniversary. It makes enough for about 2 - 2 1/2 pounds of lamb. You can always vary the few spices in it to suit your taste.

Grill on a lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over occasionally and, if necessary, moving around on grill to avoid flare-ups, until thermometer registers 125 to 128°F, 8 to 14 minutes total for medium-rare.
- Transfer lamb to a cutting board and remove skewers. Let lamb stand, loosely covered with foil, 20 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to 135°F while meat stands.) Cut across the grain into slices.

Tips:
- To tenderize the lamb and enhance its flavor, use a combination of acidic and enzymatic ingredients such as lemon juice, yogurt, and garlic. - Dry herbs like rosemary and thyme complement the lamb's flavor profile well. Use fresh herbs if possible, as they impart a more vibrant taste. - Use a flavorful oil such as olive oil or avocado oil as the base of the marinade. This helps to infuse the lamb with rich, savory flavors. - Marinate the lamb for at least 30 minutes, but ideally for several hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat deeply. - If you're short on time, you can quick-marinate the lamb for 15-20 minutes. Just be sure to stir the marinade occasionally to ensure even distribution of flavors. - Before cooking, remove the lamb from the marinade and pat it dry. This helps to create a nice sear and prevents the marinade from burning.Conclusion:
This versatile marinade is perfect for grilled, roasted, or pan-seared lamb. The combination of zesty lemon, aromatic herbs, and rich olive oil elevates the lamb's natural flavor, resulting in a succulent and flavorful dish. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a marinade that will transform your lamb into a culinary masterpiece. So, fire up the grill or preheat the oven, and let the tantalizing aroma of marinated lamb fill your kitchen. Enjoy this delicious and easy-to-make dish with your family and friends!
