Grilled Boneless Leg of Lamb

  1. Preheat a grill or broiler until quite hot; put the rack 4 inches from the heat source.
  2. Trim the lamb of excess fat.
  3. Mix together the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper; rub this mixture well into the lamb, being sure to get some into all the crevices.
  4. (If time allows, it does no harm to let the prepared lamb sit in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; just return the meat to room temperature before grilling.)
  5. Sear the meat over the hottest part of the grill until nicely browned on both sides, 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Continue to cook with the grill covered or uncovered for 5 to 15 minutes longer, until the internal temperature at the thickest part is about 125F.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  8. If grilling isnt an option, you can cook this dish in the oven: Put the broiler rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  9. Keep an eye on the lamb to prevent burning; the cooking time will be a little shorter.
  10. Or roast it in the middle of the oven, at 450F, turning occasionally; the cooking time will be about the same.
  11. Grilled Boneless Leg of Lamb with Coriander and Ginger: Use a combination of 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 tablespoon garlic, and 1 tablespoon peeled fresh ginger, all minced or coarsely ground together; moisten with a little soy sauce.
  12. Curried Boneless Leg of Lamb: Rub the lamb all over with 2 tablespoons curry powder mixed with 1/2 cup yogurt.
  13. Grilled Soy-and-Ginger Boneless Lamb Leg: Rub the lamb all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon peeled minced or grated fresh ginger.
  14. Serve with lemon wedges.
