Ingredients for Marinated Butterflied Lamb Recipe

  • 0.13 Butterflied Leg Of Lamb
  • 1/2 cloves Cloves Of Garlic, Minced
  • 1/4 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Herbs
  • 0.13 Juice Lemon
  • 0.03 cup Olive Oil

Directions: Marinated Butterflied Lamb Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.Start by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley), lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • STEP 2.Place the butterflied lamb in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, making sure it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • STEP 3.When ready to cook, preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Season the lamb with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • STEP 4.Grill the lamb for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. If roasting in the oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C) and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
  • STEP 5.Once cooked, remove the lamb from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender and juicy result.
  • STEP 6.Serve the marinated butterflied lamb with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, couscous, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips

  • Butterflying the lamb helps it cook more evenly and reduces cooking time.
  • For a more intense flavor, marinate the lamb overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Make sure to let the lamb rest before slicing to retain its juiciness.

Storage and Serving

  • To reheat, gently warm the lamb in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
  • Serve the lamb as a main dish for a special occasion or as part of a barbecue feast.
