Grilled Marinated Lamb

By Bonnie T

Ingredients

• 1 head garlic coarsely chopped
• Juice of three lemons
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 bunch fresh mint chopped leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 onion minced
• 1 8-pound of lamb boned, trimmed and cut into four pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Put garlic, lemon juice, wine, oil, mint, salt, and a generous amount of pepper into a blender and blend to a coarse puree. Pour marinade into a large bowl and stir in onions. Add lamb to bowl, rub with marinade, and let sit, at room temperature, for at least one hour.

Preheat grill. Remove lamb from marinade and tie each piece with kitchen twin to form long, even pieces. Grill lamb over medium-hot coals, turning to brown on all sides until pink in center or internal temperature reads 130 degrees, for medium rare, about 30 minutes. Remove lamb from grill and allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve garnished with fresh rosemary.
