About

This marinade is easy to prepare and enhances the flavor of the lamb. The garlic complements the flavor of the meat, while the fresh lemon juice lightens the overall taste. The tender morsels of grilled lamb with tiny specks of grilled garlic surrounding the pieces make this absolutely delicious.
