Leg Of Lamb With Lemon Marinade Recipe

Leg of Lamb with Lemon Marinade

From chefmeow 17 years ago

Very expensive dish but one that will impress all who get to taste this delight. Wonderful when you need a special occasion dish. Enjoy

In shallow nonreactive bowl large enough to hold the lamb combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon slices, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns, coriander seeds and salt.
Stir to mix well then add the lamb and turn to coat well.
Cover and refrigerate 12-24 hours turning lamb from time to time.
Prepare a medium hot fire in a grill.
Remove the lamb from the marinade and place on the grill rack about 8 inches above the fire.
Grill until deeply browned on one side about 10 minutes being careful the meat does not burn.
Turn and grill until deeply browned on the other side about 25 minutes.
Transfer lamb to a carving board and cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest 10 minutes.
To serve cut lamb across the grain into thin slices and arrange on a warmed platter.
Serve immediately spooning some of the accumulated juices over each portion.
