Lamb grilled with rosemary and Dijon
Cooking time after marination: 30-40 minutes
2 pound boneless lamb leg, trimmed and butterflied
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh rosemary leaves, minced
1/2 tsp dried thyme
juice of one lemon
1 Tb olive oil
salt and black pepper
2 Tb Dijon mustard

The night before, place the lamb in a large baking
pan. Mix the garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon and
olive oil together in a small bowl and rub on both
sides of the meat. Sprinkle generously with salt
and pepper and cover. Refrigerate overnight.
Spray grate with non-stick cooking spray and then
heat the grill to high. Place lamb on the grill and
cook, about 15-20 minutes per side, until done to

glaze. Remove to a cutting board and slice thinly
to serve. Serve on a bed of the French Lentil
