Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 6 tablespoons grey poupon mustard
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or more)
• 1 teaspoon peppercorn, crushed
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 4 large garlic, crushed
• 3 lbs leg of lamb, butterflied

Recipe

• 1 make sure that the lamb is uniform in size. if not, cut the portion open like a book and the meat will cook more evenly.
• 2 combine all the ingredients for the marinade and the lamb in a zip lock bag. marinade 1 - 3 days.
• 3 grill 30 - 50 minutes, or until meat thermometer regtisters 150° for medium rare, turning the lamb every 8 minutes. remove from grill and allow to sit 5 minutes before carving.
• 4 the original recipe calls for grey poupon peppercorn mustard. i cannot get this type of mustard, so i use regular dijon and add more peppercorn. you can use a liberal amount of rosemary and peppercorn, depending on preference.
• 5 for easy preparation, i chop the rosemary, peppercorns, coarse salt and garlic in my mini food processor.
