Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb

    Place the leg of lamb in a large resealable plastic bag or a dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Lamb

    Remove the lamb from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the leg of lamb on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness and desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the lamb from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice off the bone into chops or serve whole.
