First Prize Marinated Leg of Lamb Recipe

Directions:

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.
