Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place lamb in a large shallow dish with marinade, and turn to coat. Cover; marinate 1 hour at room temperature or up to overnight in refrigerator, turning occasionally. (Bring to room temperature before grilling.)
- Heat grill to medium-high. Thread several metal skewers through lamb in both directions to hold meat together during cooking.
- Grill lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 140 degrees for medium rare, 10 to 15 minutes per side. Let the meat rest, covered, about 10 minutes. Remove the skewers. Slice the meat thinly, against the grain where possible.

Steps:
- Combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the lamb, making sure it is covered with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator, covered, overnight or for up to 3 days.
- Bring the lamb to room temperature. Prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals. Scrape the marinade off the lamb, wipe the meat with paper towels, and season it generously with salt and pepper. Brush the grill with oil to keep the lamb from sticking, and grill on both sides until the internal temperature is 120 to 125 degrees for rare. This will take 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how hot the grill is.
- Remove the lamb to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Then slice and serve.
GRILLED BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB WITH AVGOLEMONO SAUCE
This comes from the 'Great Dinner Parties" cookbook by Barbara Myer. I've served this several times over the past twenty years and my guests have always enjoyed it. You may use a gas/ charcoal grill if desired and this can be partially made ahead. The avgolemono sauce is a delicate Greek lemon sauce, delicious with the lamb.Marinating time is not included in prep time;meat must be prepared a day in advance.

Steps:
- For the Lamb:.
- Remove all but 1/4 inch of fat from surface of lamb.
- Combine the vinegar, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large non-metal pan large enough to accommodate the meat spread flat.( I like to use a large zip-lock bag).
- Put the lamb in the marinade, turn over once, cover with plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil, and refrigerate at least 24 hours before cooking, turning occasionally.
- Remove from the refrigerator and let lamb come to room temperature before broiling.
- Preheat broiler 15 to 20 minutes, with broiler rack in place, about 4 inches below the source of heat.
- Remove lamb from marinade, drain and place on hot broiler rack, fat side down.
- Broil 15 minutes, turn and broil 15 to 20 minutes longer for medium-rare lamb.
- Test with a knife in the thickest part, and if not done sufficiently, broil for a few minutes longer.
- The lamb should be charred in places; however, watch carefully so it does not catch on fire.
- To serve, carve across the grain into 1/4 inch thick slices, and arrange overlapping on a hot serving platter.
- Spoon a little warm avgolemono sauce over middle of sliced lamb and pass the remainder.
- For the Avgolemono Sauce:.
- In a 1 quart heavy saucepan, dissolve the cornstarch in the lemon juice.
- Add the egg yolks, salt, cayenne, and dried mint leaves; stir with a whisk to blend, then stir in chicken broth.
- Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken and coats a spoon( it should not approach a boil).
- Remove from heat and use immediately or keep warm over hot, but not boiling, water until ready to serve.
- To prepare in advance, complete sauce, cool, and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready to serve, reheat slowly until warm (do not let boil).

GRILLED LEG OF LAMB
Steps:
- Combine marinade ingredients and place in a one-gallon resealable plastic bag. Unfold the lamb and examine how the butcher butterflied it. You may need to further cut it so the meat is of fairly uniform thickness. You may also have to cut it into 2 to 3 smaller, easier to handle portions. Add lamb to plastic bag and marinate in fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Place lamb on grill over well-heated coals or low-medium flame gas grill. Turn lamb 2 to 3 times while grilling and remove once degree of doneness is achieved (measure with instant-read thermometer). Allow meat to rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
- Serve with any/all of the following: 1. Reduced marinade (cook down while grilling meat); 2. Fresh garlic aioli; 3. Raspberry jalapeno sauce (recipe below)
- Serve this to someone who thinks they don't like lamb. It's a huge hit at our annual July 4th barbecue.
- Sweat the garlic, onions and peppers in the butter. Add preserves, stirring constantly until liquefied. Add wine and reduce to syrupy consistency.

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB
This is an excellent way to cook lamb. Even friends of ours who've never before liked lamb love this. When feeding children who turn their noses up at lamb we call this steak and they gobble it up. We do eventually tell them they really do like lamb because they just ate it! LOL, love doing that! The measurements are all approximate, use more olive oil if you wish, or more parsley, even sub out oregano for the rosemary. Double the paste recipe if using a large leg. Delicious with wild mushroom risotto and a Greek salad.

- Prepare grill.
- Bring lamb to room temperature and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 12 to 15 minutes on each side, or until meat thermometer registers 140°F. for medium-rate meat. (Alternatively, lamb may be broiled under preheated broiler about 4 inches from heat for approximately the same time on each side as for grilling.) Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand 20 minutes before carving.
- Holding a sharp knife at a 45° angle, cut lamb across grain into thin slices. (If planning to make lamb salad, reserve one-third unsliced lamb, covered and chilled.)
- To make scallion brushes:
- Trim roots and green parts from scallions, leaving about 2 1/2-inch stalks. Make 1/2-inch lengthwise cuts at both ends of stalks and spread fringed ends gently. Put scallions in a bowl of ice and cold water and chill 2 hours, or until fringed ends have curled. Drain scallions well.
- Garnish lamb with scallion brushes and serve with eggplant.
