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

tender
succulent
yogurt
oregano
marjoram
onion
garlic
none

Ingredients

1 1/2 C plain yogurt shopping list
1/3 C lemon juice shopping list
1/3 c lime juice shopping list
2 tsp crushed oregano leaves shopping list
2 Tbl chopped, fresh marjoram shopping list
1 head of garlic, minced shopping list
2 onions, thinly sliced shopping list
1 - 5 lb boneless, butterflied leg of lamb shopping list

How to make it

Stir together all marinade ingredients
Trim lamb well, removing as much fat and silver skin as possible and place in a large zip-lock freezer bag.
Refrigerate overnight, turning ocassionally.
Remove lamb from refrigerator and allow to come to room temp before grilling
Preheat grill to medium - medium high, oil rack
Place lamb on prepared rack and grill 10 minutes (approximately) for rare. Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Note: a butterflied leg will have both thick and thin sections allowing more choices of doneness.

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
