Categories     main-dish

Time 1h27m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds (2 pints) plain yogurt (regular or low-fat)
1/2 cup good olive oil, plus more for brushing grill
1 lemon, zested
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
3/4 cup fresh whole rosemary leaves (2 large bunches)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (5-pound) butterflied leg of lamb (9 pounds bone-in)

Steps:

  • Combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the lamb, making sure it is covered with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator, covered, overnight or for up to 3 days.
  • Bring the lamb to room temperature. Prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals. Scrape the marinade off the lamb, wipe the meat with paper towels, and season it generously with salt and pepper. Brush the grill with oil to keep the lamb from sticking, and grill on both sides until the internal temperature is 120 to 125 degrees for rare. This will take 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how hot the grill is.
  • Remove the lamb to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Then slice and serve.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

a 7- to-8 pound leg of lamb, trimmed of excess fat, boned, and butterflied by butcher (4 to 4 3/4 pounds boneless)
2 onions, chopped
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
Accompaniment: hot red pepper relish
HOT RED PEPPER RELISH
2 pounds red bell peppers, chopped fine (about 4 cups)
2 onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 cups cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon crushed dried hot red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Cut lamb into 2 pieces where there is a natural separation in meat and put each piece into a large sealable plastic bag.
  • In a food processor, purée all remaining ingredients (except relish) until smooth and divide marinade evenly between plastic bags. Seal bags, pressing out excess air, and put in a shallow baking pan. Marinate lamb, chilled, turning bags once or twice, at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare grill.
  • Discard marinade and grill lamb in batches if necessary on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 7 to 10 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Serve lamb, thinly sliced across the grain, with relish.
  • In a heavy saucepan, stir together ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour, or until reduced to about 3 cups. Relish may be made 1 month ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Serve relish chilled or at room temperature.
