Chilled Sliced Lamb With Minted Pea Sauce
- 1 (2 1/2-pound) boneless leg of lamb, butterflied and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt-free Greek seasoning blend
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- Cooking spray
- 3/4 cup loosely packed mint leaves (about 1 ounce)
- 1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
- 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup frozen petite green peas, thawed
- Mint sprigs (optional)
- Prepare grill.
- Rub surface of lamb with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with Greek seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Make several small slits on outside of lamb; stuff with garlic slices.
- Coat lamb with cooking spray. Place on grill rack; grill 10 to 11 minutes on each side or until a thermometer registers 140u0b0. Let stand 10 minutes. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice over lamb. Chill lamb at least 1 hour.
- While lamb chills, process mint, yogurt, sour cream, pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Transfer mint sauce to a small bowl; stir in peas. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Thinly slice lamb; serve with mint sauce. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
- Note: To roast in the oven instead of grilling, place lamb on a rack coated with cooking spray in a roasting pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 425u0b0 for 32 minutes.
