Spicy Butterflied Leg of Lamb (Low Fat)

Submitted by Abby Girl

"This marinade has a nice complex taste....Asian meets spice. It can be made up in 5 minutes. Give plenty of time for the lamb to marinate...up to 3 days. After our meal, my husband and daughter came back to the cutting board and were fighting over the last of the end pieces. To me, that says it all!!!"
