ROAST LEG OF LAMB WITH LEMON, GARLIC, AND ROSEMARY
The longer the lamb marinates in the seasoning paste, the better flavor you'll have. Anywhere from 1 to 24 hours will work, but overnight is best. Slice the leftovers for pita stuffed sandwiches topped with tabbouleh.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Steps:
- Place the chopped lemon, rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a food processor. A blender can also be used, if done in batches. If you have neither, finely chop all ingredients together.

- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. Place the lamb on a rack in a foil-lined roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Place the meat in the oven and after 5 minutes, reduce the temperature to 425 degrees. Roast for 45 minutes, or until medium rare, 140 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Allow the meat to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving and serving.

LEMON, HERB & GARLIC MARINADE
I've adapted this from a Jamie Oliver recipe. Jamie makes it with his 'flavour shaker' but as most people probably don't have one - you can use a mortar and pestle. Use this marinade for steak, chicken or fish. It imparts a wonderful flavour. We had it with steak and it made it beautifully moist and tender and lemony - quite a different taste for steak but absolutely delicious! Quantities given should make enough to marinade 2-3 steaks or 2 large chicken breasts or 4 fillets of fish.

Steps:
- Roughly chop the rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, and lavender flower/s or leaves (if using).
- Place herbs, salt and pepper into a mortar and pound with a pestle, until herbs are crushed and fragrant.
- Add garlic and lemon zest and pound until garlic makes a paste - add a little of the olive oil if necessary.
- Now stir in the lemon juice and the olive oil and mix together.
- Pour mixture into a small screwtop jar. Fix lid securely and shake vigorously until mixture thickens and emulsifies.
- Pour over meat, cover and marinade in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before cooking.
- Pour any marinade left in the bowl over the meat while it cooks.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs and citrus fruits for the best flavor. Dried herbs and bottled lemon juice will not provide the same depth of flavor.
- If you don't have time to marinate the chicken overnight, you can marinate it for at least 30 minutes. However, the longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be.
- You can use any type of chicken for this recipe, but boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the most popular choices.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill.
- Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. You can check to see if the chicken is cooked by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This rosemary garlic and lemon marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your chicken. The marinade is made with a combination of fresh rosemary, garlic, lemon, olive oil, and salt and pepper. The chicken is marinated for at least 30 minutes, then grilled until cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken that is perfect for a summer cookout.
