BROILED OR GRILLED BUTTERFLIED LAMB

Steps:

• Trim the lamb to an even thickness of 2-2 1/2 inches and pat dry.
• For paste, combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl and mix.
• Coat the entire surface of the lamb with the paste.
• At this point, the lamb may be placed in a zip bag or on a baking sheet and covered.
• Place in refrigerator and allow to marinate from 1 to 24 hours.
• Position a broiler pan 4 to 5 inches away from the heating element and preheat the broiler and broiler pan or prepare a medium hot grill fire.
• Place the lamb, fat side down, on the broiler pan grill rack.
• Cook, turning once, until well seared but still juicy and pink on the inside, about 12 minutes on each side. (Cook a few minutes more on each side for medium.).
• Remove lamb from the oven or grill and let stand for 6-8 minutes, loosly covered with aluminum foil.
• Cut lamb into 1/2 inch slices.

GRILLED OR BROILED LAMB RIBS

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or wood fire, or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the fire should be only moderately hot, and the rack should be at least 4 inches from the heat source. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Add the lamb, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Drain ribs. Grill or broil them for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice and sprinkling them with a little salt and pepper. Meanwhile, process the honey, mustard and onion in a blender until smooth.
• When ribs begin to brown, brush them with sauce, and continue to cook, watching so they do not catch fire. When they are brown and crisp all over - in about 10 to 15 minutes - remove from grill, and serve.
