Grilled Leg Of Lamb
2/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoon dry red wine
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
5 tablespoons fresh rosemary, diced
10 garlic cloves, pressed
5 lb. leg of lamb, butterflied, with bone removed
salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients, except the salt and pepper, in a big glass bowl and
add the lamb. Turn several times with your hands to make sure that all the
lamb is covered. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24
hours, turning every now and then. Remove from the fridge about an hour
before grilling in order to return lamb to room temperature. Remove lamb
from marinade and sprinkle generously with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
Grill the lamb on the center of the barbecue grill for about 17 minutes over
a medium heat for medium rare, 23 minutes for medium. Don't worry about the
flare−ups as it will give the lamb a delicious, crispy skin. Turn the meat
only once and cook for another 17 to 23 minutes, depending on desired
doneness. Remove lamb from grill and tent with tinfoil for 20 minutes to
allow juices to settle. Carve.
