Blackened Butterflied Leg of Lamb image

Well I just spent a couple of hours digging this recipe up, so I figured I'd better put it in a safe place-here! It's from a Canadian Living magazine from 1986 and the page had come out!! Barbecuing is recommended for ventilation purposes-lots of smoke.

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/3 cup butter
2 minced garlic cloves
4 lbs butter-flied leg of lamb

Steps:

  • Combine paprika, mustard, white, black and cayenne peppers, salt, fennel, thyme and oregano. Place on large plate or baking sheet.
  • Melt butter with garlic and pour onto a separate plate or pan.
  • Dip lamb into garlic butter then into seasonings, pressing firmly onto each side.
  • Place lamb on greased grill on medium high setting; Cook for 15-20 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, or until desired doneness - 65° C (140° F) for rare, 70° C (150° F) for medium. Meat will "blacken". Let rest and slice on the diagonal.
  • Alternatively, in a large heavy skillet or roasting pan, brown lamb on both sides-expect a lot of smoke-and roast in a 350°oven for 35-40 minutes.
