From Barbecue Box: Leg of Lamb with Herbs
Ingredients- 1 Small leg of lamb, about 3 1bs
- 1 Standard pack fresh thyme, for brushing meat
For the Marinade
- 10 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
- 10 sprigs cilantro
- 3 sprigs sage
- 3 sprigs rosemary
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 6-7 tablespoons dry white wine
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
1. Strip the leaves from all the herbs and coarsely chop them. Pour the olive oil and the wine into a large dish, then add the herbs and garlic, salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together.
2. Put the leg of lamb into this marinade, coating it well with the herbs. Leave for 2 hours at room temperature, turning it often. Refrigerate if preferred, but remove and allow to return to room temperature before cooking.
3. Light the barbecue, place the grill to heat over the flames, and when you have nice hot embers place the leg of lamb in the center of the heat source. Brown it on all sides, using the bunch of thyme to brush it frequently with marinade.
4. After about 1-1/4 hours cooking, wrap the lamb in aluminum foil, check with a meat thermometer for doneness, and leave to rest for 15 minutes on a corner of the barbecue. Carve it into slices and serve immediately.
