HERB- MARINATED ROAST LAMB a/k/a Harry's Roast Lamb Ingredients 1 recipe HARRY'S ROASTED POTATOES 5 to 6 lbs butterflied boneless leg of lamb 1/2 cup white wine vinegar 1 cup olive oil 1 tsp oregano 3 tsp dried mint 2 cloves garlic 2 tbsp dried thyme 2 tbsp dried rosemary Procedure 1) Place the vinegar, oil, all the herbs and spices into a blender and process until emulsified. Decant into a suitable container. 2) Prick the meat all over with a sharp knife point and place it into the marinade. It should be fully immersed. Store covered for 24 hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. 3) When ready, remove from the refrigerator, discard the marinade and bring meat back to room temperature. Don't let the looks deceive you, it will be great. 4) Transfer to a grilling rack, salt to taste and place into a preheated broiler 4" from the flame. Broil 12-14 minutes per side for medium-rare (pink) meat. OR Place on a hot BBQ about 6" from the coals and grill for about 10-12 minutes per side for medium-rare (pink) meat. Do not close the lid as there is a lot of flaring at the beginning. 4) When ready, remove from heat, transfer to a carving board and let rest for about 10 minutes. Slice into very thin slices (across the grain, with a very sharp knife, with the blade held at a 45 degree angle). 5) Arrange the slices in a circle around the perimeter of a large serving dish. Place the roast potatoes into the centre, garnish with fresh parsley and/or rosemary sprigs, and serve.
