While looking for a new way for us to grill lamb, I found this recipe from Emeril. It was the best lamb I have had in years! I served this with roasted winter vegetables, a salad and tzatziki

O.K.,you got me with this one. It is right up my ally. Ecxcellent and thanks for the post!


I love yogurt marinated meats. It gives them such a..... tang.. This is a great Greek recipe. If you sub mint for the oregano and marjoram, you would have the Middle East version.. If you can't grill for some reason, try putting this in a hot oven on the top rack, letting it drip down over roasting root veggies.. Thanks for posting this.... Jim
