- .RZ "MARINATED LAMB" "Grilled butterflied leg of lamb"
- This is the best recipe I have ever had for lamb. It really brings
- out the flavor wonderfully. It came originally from the \fISilver Palate
- Good Times Cookbook\fR.

- A wonderful side dish for this is the Spanish recipe for Garlic fried
- potatoes (PATATAS-POBRES).

- .SK 1
- Mix together all of the ingredients except the lamb. Place the lamb
- in a bowl or pan that will not be corroded by the marinade
- (a glass
- .AB "9\(mu13" "22\(mu33-cm"
- pan works well).
- .SK 2
- Pour most of the marinade over the lamb. Swish the lamb
- around and get it soaked on both sides. Cover and marinate in the
- refrigerator for at least several hours, turning occassionally.
- .SK 3
- Start a fire in the grill and get the coals very warm
- but not flaming. Place lamb on grill
- .AB "3\-4 inches" "8\-10 cm"
- from the coals.
- Cook on this side for 20 minutes, basting with the extra marinade
- occasionally. Turn the meat over and cook another 20 minutes.
- .SK 4
- After 10 minutes on the second side, start checking for doneness.
- Contrary to many people's ideas, lamb should not be well done but should
- still be a little pink. When done, slice thin and serve.
- .NX
- For the meat, you need a half leg of lamb which has
- been butterflied. A good butcher can do this for you but don't
- be afraid of trying it yourself. To butterfly the leg,
- take a sharp knife and start at the side and work towards the bone.
- Once you have found the bone, work along it so you have one side completely
- slit and then cut out the bone. Depending on which end of the leg
- you have, you may need to puzzle over some of the weirdnesses of the bone
- shape. Don't discard the bone\(emit makes interesting soup.
- .SH RATING
