Well the new grill is getting a workout for sure! With the addition of the rotisserie we are experimenting with all sorts of grilling, marinades and meats. Today’s is a marinade with a Mediterranean flavor with spices, honey and yogurt. We purchased a beautiful leg of lamb and marinated this for over 24 hours. It was great with a salad and roasted potatoes.

• 1 leg of lamb (4lbs)

Marinade:

• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tbsp plain yogurt
• 2 tbsp dried mint
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger
• 3 tsp tumeric
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
• 2 tsp paprika
• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt and freshly ground black pepper each

In a large mixing bowl combine all the above ingredients and mix thoroughly. It will appear to be a thick paste. Pierce the lamb all over for the marinade to penetrate. Place the lamb in the bowl and cover with marinade completely. Turn several times over the 24 hour period. Cook to your liking and use reserved marinade to baste the lamb while grilling. Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
