I just bought a leg of lamb which I am planning on having this Sunday for some guests. Does anyone know the best way to cook this thing? Thanks,Billy

    Billy,
    Remove all the fat from the lamb. Cut about 9-10 slits in the lamb then insert a clove of garlic into each. Cover with olive oil and then rub in a generous amount of rosemary. Cook using a drip pan and a v-rack at 350* for 20 min per pd until the internal temp reaches 160* for medium. My choice of wood is sugar maple, but peach, cherry, apple, ppecan do well also. Enjoy.

    Billy,
    Mornin' if you follow JJ's direction It'll be great.I normally don't care a whole lot about lamb(probly cause I had to learn"Mary Had A Little LAMB" in kinnergarden)
    HOWEVER!after chompin' on a piece of JJ's at EGGFEST I'm a converted lamb lover.Now when I'm countin' sheep,they're jumping over a BGE,not a fence.Good luck. Bob

    Billy,[p]I am not a great lamb fan, but have tasted JJ's lamb twice. The first was Eggtoberfest'99, and I was simply amazed. Not strong at all, actually very, very mild, and juicy tender. The mint "jelly" is just the right touch. I did get a taste of it this year and it was as equally as good as I remembered.[p]You just got the inside on the details of a recipe I have been slowly prying out of him. Very good.[p]Spin

    Billy, Here's one of my favorite ways, S. Pacific LOL. Butterfly the leg, removing as much fat as you can, slather with the rub, and refridgerate for 3-8 hours. Grill direct at about 450F for 10-12 min per side for m-rare.[p]Marinade: 2t cinnamon, 2t ground ginger, 2T brn sugar, 1t anise, 1/2t cayenne, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1T toasted sesame oil, 1/4c peanut oil, S&P.

    Good to see you around. Man that sounds good. I have a boneless leg of lamb that I posted about the other day. djm's idea using "a mix of olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper, garlic" sounds good....plus I have to try JJ's when I get a whole leg.....but that rub sounds like it is right up my alley! I froze the boneless leg the other day, as I didn't have time to cook it that week....but plan on it soon.
    Thanks for posting that. Hope all is hunky dory up your way.
