GRILLED LEG OF LAMB WITH THYME AND ALLSPICE

Steps:

• Mince garlic, then mash to a paste with salt. Stir together garlic paste, oil, lemon zest and juice, thyme, pepper, and allspice. Put lamb, fat side up, in a large ceramic or glass dish. Using a paring knife, make 1 1/2-inch-long slits (about 2 inches deep) 2 inches apart all over leg. Reserve 1 teaspoon thyme mixture and push remainder into slits, then rub all over with reserved teaspoon of mixture. Marinate lamb, covered and chilled, 12 hours.
• Let lamb stand at room temperature 30 minutes before grilling.
• Prepare grill for indirect-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (high heat for gas). If using a gas grill, preheat all burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then turn off all burners except burner closest to you.
• Oil grill rack, then grill lamb over area with no coals (or over turned-off burner or burners), covered, without turning, until thermometer inserted into thickest part of roast (almost to the bone but not touching it) registers 125°F for medium-rare, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours (temperatures in thinner parts of leg may register up to 160°F). To maintain medium-hot charcoal, add more charcoal (about 2 cups) every 15 minutes.
• Let lamb stand on a cutting board, uncovered, 30 minutes.

LAMB CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, and gently fry the onion, garlic and ginger until soft and golden.
• Add the curry powder, salt and vinegar and stir thoroughly.
• Add the lamb and cook, stirring constantly until the lamb is coated with the spice mixture.
• Add the tomatoes, chillies and mint.
• Cover and cook over a very low heat for 1 1/4 hours or until the lamb is tender, stirring occasionally.
• Add the garam masala and chopped coriander in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
• *note-the tomatoes should provide enough liquid for the meat to cook in, but if necessary, add a little hot water, (approximately 1/2 a cup) just enough to stop the meat sticking to the saucepan.

HARDWOOD-SMOKED LEG OF LAMB WITH BBQ SAUCE AND MINT BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare a slow charcoal fire with hardwood charcoal. Soak 1 1/2 lbs of wood chips (hickory, cherry or other hardwood or fruitwood) in water for 20 minutes. When coals are glowing and coated with white ash, spread evenly and top with wood chips. Place lamb on a rack in grill. Cover and smoke 2 1/2 hours, turning every half hour and checking to make sure there are no flames -- if flaming, douse with a little water. Cool. Refrigerate lamb overnight. Slice lamb from bone, and shred slices. The meat will still be mostly raw.
• Prepare Barbecue Sauce: In a large pot combine molasses, tomato puree, chili sauce, mustard, Worcestershire, Tabasco and garlic. Add lamb and simmer for one hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare Mint Butter: In workbowl of food processor combine mint and shallots and pulse to puree. Add butter and process until completely incorporated.
• When lamb is ready, remove from heat and stir in mint butter. Serve

LAMB LEG GRILLED WITH ROSEMARY, GARLIC & DIJON MARINADE

Steps:

• Make the marinade for the lamb leg - very finely chop the rosemary leaves, mince the garlic and press onto it with the flat side of the knife, zest the lemon. Combine all three with the olive oil, Dijon mustard and salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Trim any excess fat from the leg of lamb, leaving a good fat cap on top. Score the fat cap in a diamond pattern until you just reach the meat. Apply the marinade paste all over the lamb, rub it in the scored parts. Place onto a plate, season with salt and pepper and cover*. Marinate refrigerated from 4 hours to overnight.
• Bring the leg of lamb to room temperature (about 30-40 minutes of the counter) and preheat a charcoal** grill to 325F. No need to scrape off the marinade paste - it will help form a flavorful crust.
• Place the leg of lamb directly onto the grill rack, over indirect heat, fat cap facing up. Turn it over/reposition it every 20 minutes or so to expose all surfaces to the indirect heat and the grill rack. Do so last for the side with the fat. Maintain a constant grill temperature and grill until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 135 F for medium-rare. If you'd like a section of the lamb leg to be cooked medium (as seen in the pictures) grill the meatiest side of the leg until the temperature there is 140-145F. *** Allow the lamb to rest onto a board for 10-15 minutes before you carve it. You may loosely tent it with foil to keep it warm.
