5 cloves of garlic, finely minced
3 Tbsp fresh rosemary, finely minced
2 Tbsp evoo
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
4 lbs boneless, butterflied leg of lamb
1/4 jarred roasted red peppers, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 C mayo
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
12 green onions
Rolls

Steps:

Combine the garlic through pepper in a small bowl. Rub vigorously over lamb. Roll meat back into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap, or just put it in a large gallon ziplock bag. Marinate for about 4 hours. ` We recommend using a charcoal grill with 1 mesquite chunk for added flavor. Prepare fire, and once coals are ashen, put the meat on the grill. Of course you can cook it on a gas grill, it just won't have that nice smoke flavor added. Cook 10-12 minutes on a side, over direct heat. Meanwhile, prepare red pepper mayo. In a small food processor, combine roasted red peppers, garlic, mayo, salt and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined. During the last few minutes of grilling the lamb, add the green onions to the grill. Cook for a minute on each side. Watch closely as they could burn quickly! After removing lamb from the grill, let it rest 5-1 minutes. The meat will hold in its juices if you let it sit, as opposed to cutting it immediately and the juices will run all over your cutting board, leaving, you with dry meat. Not what you want! After the resting period, thinly slice the lamb. Put your sandwiches together on a nice roll, topped with lamb, mayo and grilled onions.
