Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 - 6 lb. boneless leg of lamb, fat trimmed and butterflied
3-4 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
2 Tbsp. fresh or dry Lavender flowers
3 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh mint, chopped
3 Tbsp. olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
several sprigs fresh lavender for garnish

Steps:

  • Make 20 small incisions in the lamb in various places and tuck a slice of garlic into each incision. In a bowl combine the lavender, rosemary, mint, and olive oil. Rub the mixture over the lamb and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. Preheat an outdoor grill or the broiler unit of your range. If you are using the outdoor grill, place the lamb on the grill 4 inches from the coals. If you are using the broiler, place the lamb in a 7 Qt. sauteuse and place the pan 4 inches from the broiler element. Broil or grill until the first side has reached a rich, caramelized color, about 15 minutes. Turn the lamb and continue to cook until a meat thermometer reads 130°F-135°F or medium rare. Cover w/ foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Slice the lamb across the grain, place on a warm platter, garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me and I ended up overcooking the lamb. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. The lamb is always tender and flavorful, and the rub is the perfect blend of herbs and spices. I highly recommend this recipe.

Amazing recipe! The lamb was cooked to perfection and the flavors were incredible. I'm not usually a fan of lamb, but this dish changed my mind. Will definitely be making this again.
