  1. Made this with the variation, marinated for 24 hours and then planked it using a one inch by ten inch by sixteen inch cedar plank. Soaked 2 planks for 24 hours and cooked for an hour, after 15 minutes cooking I then placed small new potatoes cut in half on the second plank. Everyone was raving about it and they all wanted the recipe.
     
  2. Really a nice way to prepare a leg of lamb. I used the variations in step 4; and let marinate in the fridge for 24 hours before bringing to room temp and grilling. This was so simple, and a very tasty dish for a backyard BBQ! Made for ZWT8
     
  3. How could this NOT be delicious? Some of my very FAVORITE ingredients for a Greek dinner. Lamb, rosemary, garlic and I added some fresh mint. I DID use the suggested ingredients at the bottom in my marinade! It was truly delicious. ZWT4
     
  4. Delicious leg of lamb. I let the paste sit on the leg overnight for maximum flavour. I roasted this in the oven for Sunday lunch and served with Recipe #86941 and a huge green salad for a lovely and easy meal.
