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!

We made this for Christmas dinner this year and the combination of flavors was awesome. Just the right amount of lemon juice and spices gave the lamb an amazing taste. This will be a keeper in my cookbook. My DH has grilled many lambs in his time and he loved this recipe. I served this with Acorn Squash Baked Acorn Squash With Spicy Maple Syrup, green beans, brusel sprouts, and roasted baby red potatoes, carrots and onions. Dinner was soooooo good. Can't wait to make this again.

I made this tonight for two other couples who have never had lamb. I doubled the marinade except for the dried spices and lemon rind. Had a smaller butterflied leg so only had to grill 10 minutes per side. EXCELLENT! Boiled the leftover marinade to serve on the the side for sauce. Printed out the recipe for both couples to take home!

This is fantastic! Since I had a bone-in leg of lamb, I roasted it rather than doing it on the grill...400 degrees for about 2 1/2 hrs, and I added some chopped russet potatoes to it for the last hour. They tasted sooo good. I marinated the lamb overnight and just roasted it with the marinade, which also sauced the potatoes nicely. Thanks so much! I will definitely use this recipe again.
