Greek Inspired Butterflied Leg of Lamb

Serving Size: Makes 8-10 servings
Prep Time: 10-15 minutes
Cook Time: 20-30 minutes

Ingredients

12 lamb shoulder chops

Instructions

Salt and pepper both sides of lamb. Mix oil and lemon juice, and add seasonings. Cut garlic in slivers and cut anchovies in half. Cut small pockets in lamb over both sides and place a sliver of garlic and anchovy half in each pocket. Rub seasoning mixture all over lamb. 

With the grill covered, cook lamb over medium-hot coals with skin side down to start, turning often, for 20 to 30 minutes. At its thickest point, the meat should register 145° F for medium rare - thinner parts will then be medium rare to medium. Set lamb aside, covered loosely with foil, for about 5 minutes before slicing diagonally and serving. 

Tip: Ask the butcher to bone and butterfly the leg for you.
