Meat Recipes
Yield: Serves 10-12
"This recipe was given to me by a friend of my mother's long before this way of cooking lamb became well known. It's the only way to cook lamb for a crowd because the carving is so easy!" --Birch Hill Inn, Manchester, Vermont
- 1 leg of lamb, 7-9 pounds (native if possible), boned and butterflied
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- Black pepper (several grinds)
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 cup sliced onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
Mix together all ingredients except lamb and blend well. Marinate lamb in mixture for 6 hours (out of refrigerator), turning occasionally. Broil fat side down first, about 20 minutes each side for medium. For extra flavor cook on outdoor grill.
