Butterflied Lamb Leg - Real Recipes from Mums

I love a butterflied lamb leg as there is no worry about cutting through a bone. This is the perfect meal for the warmer months and accompanies a simple salad so well.

Ingredients (makes 1 Lamb leg butterflied)

MARINADE:
1 Lamb Leg butterflied
1 Red onion chunked
1 Garlic head chopped
3Tbl Red wine vinegar
3Tbl Worcestershire sauce
2Tbl Oregano dried
4Tbl Harissa seasoning
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
GARNISH:
Lemon, juiced
Oregano dried
Olive oil
Sea salt flakes

Method

Place marinade ingredients in large bowl and place in fridge for a minimum four hours (preferably overnight).
Take your lamb out of the fridge an hour before cooking. Turn your barbecue on medium heat 10 minutes before cooking.
Cook the lamb 15 minutes on each side with the barbecue lid on. Cover with foil and rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving. Garnish with olive oil, sea salt flakes, lemon juice and dried oregano.

This sounds amazing. I love lamb and have found that you can get the most awesome packs of lamb from Costco.

Unfortunately I don’t own a barbecue, allergic to any citrus and lamb is just too expensive for me to buy. Looks delicious though

Been so long since I’ve cooked one of these – lamb is just too expensive for me anymore.

I do love lamb. Little bit out of my price range at the moment though. Very sad
