Ingredients

1 leg of lamb bone in

2 pts plain yogurt

½ c. olive oil

1 T. cumin

1 t. ground coriander

1 t. ground cinnamon

1 T. grated ginger

2 T. seasoned rice vinegar

¾ c. fresh mint

1 T. red hot sauce

½ t. salt

Sugar or Splenda to taste

2 c. aromatic wood chips like cedar chips

1 large onion chopped coarsely.

½ t. salt

¼ c. olive oil

Directions

Make deep slits in lamb. Combine marinade ingredients. Marinate lamb 24 hours.

Before making charcoal fire, soak wood chips in water for 2 hours. Make a fire using a chimney full of charcoal and place another ½ chimney full of charcoal around edges. When coals are ready, place a drip pan in the middle of the grill. Put half the wood chips on the hot coals. Remove meat from marinade. Place meat on center of well oiled grill grate. Place marinade in a microwaveable bowl and nuke for 90 seconds. Grill lamb for about 1 ½ hours turning and basting often with marinade. Internal temperature should be 140 degrees. Add another ½ c. of wood chips during cooking. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Meanwhile, make the onions

Add salt, olive oil and onion to a medium, all metal sauce pan. Add remaining wood chips and wait to smoke. Put pan in the middle of the grill. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes while lamb rests.

Serve sliced lamb with onions.
