Marinated Leg of Lamb (Oamc)

This is a great dish for a romantic summer dish. Elegant, aromatic and full of flavor. I often double the marinade and boil it for a au jus type gravy for the meat. And when served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes it is a flavor enhancement. great for OAMC and you can get some spring lamb on sale!
