Give
this great grilled leg of lamb recipe
a try at your next BBQ
| My
mom loves to grill lamb. I think she had a
different lamb recipes for just about every
family occasion. |
|
|
|
The
recipe below for is for butterflied leg
of lamb. The method of deboning and barbecuing
it butterfly-style over a charcoal grill
is one of our favorites, and is a staple
at all of our family barbecues. As far as
delicious grilled lamb recipes go, especially
leg of lamb recipes, this one is a winner.
When
grilling lamb, the deboning/butterfly method
allows the meat to cook through and makes
the carving easier. The simple buttermilk
marinade gives the meat a subtle flavor
while tenderizing it at the same time, and
makes a great alternative to barbecued beef.
Why
not try butterflied leg of lamb at your
next barbecue?
