Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grates
1 tablespoon coriander seed, crushed
1 tablespoon fennel seed, crushed
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds butterflied leg of lamb
Grilled lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine oil, coriander and fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a shallow dish, coat lamb with marinade. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerate, up to overnight).
  • Heat grill to medium-low; lightly oil grates. Grill lamb, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of meat registers 130 degrees for medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Remove from grill. Tent with aluminum foil; let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice lamb, and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lamb turned out tough and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
