Pat Volchok’s Butterflied Leg of Lamb
If there is some of this grilled lamb left over, plan on
stuffing it the next day into pita bread along with
cucumbers and a drizzle of garlic-infused plain yogurt.
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 cup Burgundy wine
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1/2 cup olive oil
1 boned and butterflied leg of lamb
To make the marinade, combine soy sauce, garlic, curry powder, wine, ketchup, oregano, thyme, rosemary, dried onion
and olive oil. Massage and marinate the lamb at least 48 hours
in the refrigerator. Grill the lamb over indirect medium-high
heat for approximately 45 minutes. Thoroughly boil any
excess marinade. Serve the lamb thinly sliced, drizzled with
the cooked marinade. Makes 12-16 servings.
