A beautiful charred crust of herbs and garlic cover this leg of lamb. The aromas linger as you grill this up. Be patient, as it will be worth the wait. You’ll be able to taste each herb in the seasoning in every bite.
VARIATION TIP: Try a balsamic honey mustard glaze. Instead of using the garlic-herb mixture, marinate the lamb in 1 cup balsamic vinegar, then coat it with 1/2 cup yellow mustard and 1 cup honey asyour “crust.”

Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the vinegar, garlic, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, parsley, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until well combined—the marinade will turn into a thick paste. Add the leg of lamb and massage the marinade into the meat. Coat the lamb with the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes. If marinating for longer, cover and refrigerate.
