Ingredients
  • 1 (4-5 lb.) leg of lamb, butterflied
  • Yogurt Sauce:
  • 3 cups plain yogurt
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 handful fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 Tblsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tblsp coriander seeds, ground
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Place the lamb in a large plastic freezer bag. In a medium bowl, combine all of the yogurt sauce ingredients.
  2. Reserving 1 cup of sauce for serving with the lamb, use the remaining sauce as a marinade for the lamb. Pour the remaining yogurt sauce into the bag of lamb, close and rub it all around to ensure ample coverage.
  3. Refrigerate for 6 hours or over night.
  4. Let the lamb sit at room temperature for 30 minute before cooking. Season with salt and pepper just before grilling.
  5. Prepare the grill, making sure it is clean and oiled before placing the lamb on top. You should only need to cook the lamb for about 10 minute per side. You want the meat to be medium rare with a nice pink interior.
  6. Let the lamb rest for about 10 minutes before carving. Season the reserved sauce with salt and pepper and serve with the lamb.
