Directions
Grilled Butterflied Leg of Lamb with Lemon, Herbs and Garlic,I went to a cookout last weekend and this was the main dish. This lamb was perhaps the best I’ve ever tasted. Juicy, succulent, and full of flavor thanks to the herbs garlic and lemon. I begged the host for the recipe, and here it is for you. Note: I would cook this a little longer for medium meat…just my preference. Also, you might want to secure the meat lengthwise with 2 skewers and widthwise with 2 skewers so it doesn’t fall apart on the grill.,This was awesome, used a bundle of herbs from the garden and the flavour of the marinade on the lamb was sensational, would be great in a souvlaki. I cooked the lamb for 25 mins per 500g but this was a little bit too much, would cut that back to 20 mins next time. Will definitely make this again!,This turned out very good. I put the herb rub on at about 8 in the morning and put it back in the fridge for 4 hours. I cooked it on the grill for 40 minutes, 25 on one side, then flipped it for 15 on the other. Turned out nice. Thicker parts were rare, thinner parts were medium. All had a good flavor. used a 12# leg that once deboned and butterflied was still about 9#. Begore grilling I cut it into 3 sections for ease of handling. This really helped things.
