About

When we grill lamb we choose the whole leg because it has such a definite taste and texture. Only spring lamb is suitable for this method of cooking.

Method

Mix the crushed garlic, rosemary, and pepper in a bowl, and rub into the cut side of the meat. Place the meat in a shallow dish and pour over the lemon juice and olive oil. Turn the meat over a couple of times to make sure it is coated, then cover. Leave to marinate at room temperature overnight or for at least 4 hours, turning the meat occasionally.
