GRILLED LEG OF LAMB WITH GARLIC AND HERB LEMON MARINADE



Grilled Leg of Lamb With Garlic and Herb Lemon Marinade image

This is really the only recipe I use when I grill a leg of lamb. Plan ahead, the lamb needs to marinate 24 hours or overnight. This marinade can also be used for lamb chops. A butterflied leg of lamb is with the bones removed and cut to spread open, you can ask your butcher to remove the bones and butterfly it for you. If you prefer a more lemony taste then thinly slice half of another lemon, leave the peel on, and just throw the slices inside the bag or bowl with along with the other marinade. If desired you can also stuff the lamb with garlic cloves as well as adding the minced garlic in with the marinade. Grilling time depends on size of lamb. This recipe produces an excellent grilled lamb that melts in your mouth, try to not overcook the lamb, for best results leave slightly pink in the middle.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 medium red or white potatoes
1 cup firm or extra-firm tofu chunks
1 cup red, yellow or green bell pepper chunks
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup red onion chunks
1 cup white button mushrooms
1 cup zucchini or yellow squash chunks
1 cup cherry tomatoes
Marinade, recipe follows
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon or lime juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in salted water until fork tender; let cool and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place potatoes and the vegetables in a shallow dish or container. Pour Marinade over vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
  • Remove vegetables from the Marinade, reserving Marinade. Thread vegetables onto skewers, alternating colors. Cook skewers on grill until vegetables are lightly charred all over, about 10 minutes, basting with reserved Marinade and turning occasionally.
  • Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl. The marinade can be prepared in advance and held covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right herbs and garlic: Use fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, oregano, and basil for the best flavor. Garlic should be minced or pressed for maximum flavor infusion.
  • Make sure the marinade is flavorful: Use a good quality olive oil and add plenty of herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. You can also add other spices like paprika, cumin, or chili powder to taste.
  • Marinate the meat or vegetables for at least 30 minutes: This will give the flavors time to penetrate the food. You can marinate for longer if you have time, up to overnight.
  • Cook the food over medium heat: This will help to prevent the marinade from burning and will allow the food to cook evenly.
  • Baste the food with the marinade while it cooks: This will help to keep the food moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Using a herb and garlic marinade is a great way to add flavor and moisture to your favorite foods. These marinades are easy to make and can be used on a variety of meats, vegetables, and even seafood. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and flavorful meal that is sure to impress your family and friends.
