Lucious Leg Of Lamb
- For the marinade:
- 1 leg of lamb - butterflied
- 1 head of garlic - cloves peeled
- 1 bottle dry red wine
- 1/4 cup each: tyme, tarragon, rosemary, oregeno
- 1/8 cup each: salt, pepper
- 1 onion chopped
- olive oil as needed
- 1/2 cup red current jelly
- using a food processor, coffee grinder, or chef's knife, make a paste of the garlic. Add the dry herbs, salt/pepper, and drizzle the olive oil so the paste becomes spreadable.
- Spread the paste all over both sides of the lamb making sure to "push it in" the crevices of the meat. Place lamb in a large plastic bag; add the onion; pour in the wine. Marinade for 24 hours.Arrange charcoal so is on one half of the grill, and the other side is empty. Remove lamb and dry it off. Refresh with salt and pepper. Sear over coals five minutes, and turn on other side for five minutes. Move lamb away from heat; cover and cook twelve minutes for rare, and fifteen for medium. Remove, brush lamb all over with the red current jelly, and let rest for ten minutes. Serve with grilled veg's such as peppers, onions, squash.
