- Add the chopped mango, lime juice, and salt and stir until combined.
- Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
- Transfer to sealable container and refrigerate until you are ready to pack, up to 24 hours.
- Place the oil, onion, scallion, garlic, jalapeno, allspice, lime juice, and rum in the bowl of a blender and puree until just smooth.
- Coat both sides of the lamb with the marinade, place it in a sealed container, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Prepare coals for a medium-hot fire.
- When the coals are ready, grill the lamb for 22 minutes, turning once.
- With a sharp knife, cut away the thinner middle section of the leg and transfer it to a platter.
- Leave the thicker end pieces to cook 5 to 7 minutes longer, turning once.
- Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before cutting it on the diagonal into thin slices.
- If some sections are still too rare, lay the slices on the grill for a few seconds on each side.
- Serve with the mango relish.
