Garlic Grilled Leg of Lamb

Great garlicky flavor. Prep time does NOT include marinating. This works in the oven, too.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1 (4 -5 lb)  leg of lamb, trimmed of excess fat
• 3  garlic cloves, sliced
• 1⁄2 cup  balsamic vinegar
• 1⁄4 cup sherry wine

Directions

1. Rinse lamb and pat dry.

3. Tie lamb if desired and place in a plastic baggie or plastic or glass bowl.
4. Combine balsamic vinegar, wine, honey, rosemary, coriander, oregano, and minced garlic and pour over lamb. Refrigerate and marinate for 6-12 hours for best results.
