GRILLED LEG OF LAMB WITH ROSEMARY, GARLIC, AND MUSTARD

Steps:

• Open lamb like book on work surface. Using tip of small knife, make 1/2-inch-deep slits all over lamb. Thinly slice 4 garlic cloves. Insert garlic slices into slits in lamb. Combine remaining 4 garlic cloves, mustard, olive oil, white wine, rosemary, and lemon juice in processor. Blend until coarse puree forms. Spread underside of lamb with half of puree. Place lamb, seasoned side down, in 15 x 10 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Spread remaining puree over top of lamb. Cover lamb with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
• Let lamb stand at room temperature 2 hours. Coat grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle lamb generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill lamb to desired doneness, about 17 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to cutting board; let rest 10 to 20 minutes.
• Thinly slice lamb against grain. Overlap slices on platter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs.
• What to drink:
• Syrah would be delicious with the grilled lamb. Mix things up by skipping California and Australian Syrahs and going with an Italian Syrah instead. One to try: the velvety, full-bodied 2006 Villa Pillo Syrah Toscana ($16, Italy).

GRILLED ROASTED GARLIC-ROSEMARY BREAD

Steps:

• Remove the garlic cloves from the oil (reserve the oil) and mash them to a paste with a knife or mortar and pestle. Take the leaves off the rosemary sprig and finely mince them. In a bowl, combine the garlic paste, minced rosemary, and butter and stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the baguettes in half lengthwise. Spread the cut sides with the seasoned butter and drizzle with a little of the oil used to bake the garlic. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, close the baguettes back up and wrap each in aluminum foil. Cook over medium heat on the grill or in a bed of slow coals for 10 to 15 minutes.
