Barbecued lamb
This is a very delicious dish for meat lovers and those who love barbecued dishes. Lamb is used almost every where around the world. To prepare this dish I have used a special marinade for the lamb. But if you want you can use a different marinade of your own. The succulent leg of lamb, flavored with red wine and parsley marinade makes an interesting variation to the more usual barbecued beef. Here if you want you can use the given marinade for the barbecuing of chicken legs also. While barbecuing the lambs, make sure that the barbecue coals are really hot before adding the steak to the grind, or the meat will become dry and tough giving a bad taste. It took only 10 minutes for me to prepare this marinade and 12-15 minutes to barbecue. This dish will serve around 8 people.
Ingredients
- 8 legs of lamb steak
- The Marinade
- 1 lemon
- 150 ml red wine
- 50ml olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 5tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and ground pepper to taste
Method
1 Using a vegetable peeler remove the zest from the lemon and cut it into fine shreds
2 Cut lemon in half and squeeze the juices in to large flat dish. Add half the zest strips and remaining marinade ingredients and mix well.
3 After mixing place the lamb legs in the marinade, ensuring that each steak is well coated.
4 Cover and marinade in the fridge for at least two hours.
5 To cook, drain the steak of excess marinade and place over a hot barbecue- 12 minutes for medium and 15 minutes for well done, turning and basting frequently. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and remaining lemon strips.

This is a great way to cook lamb. Wine sounds especially appealing. Must add nicely to the flavor of the lamb.

Leg of lamb with wine marinade sounds heavenly…. Port wine and mint also make a special marinade for the lamb.

If you happen to be in Canada, there’s a BBQ contest hosted by Nourish, this one deserves a prize!

Looks great. Bet that marinade would be good with some mint, too!
