| 1 small (4 lbs) bone-in
leg of lamb
1 bunch fresh rosemary
5 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup macadamia nut oil
1 Tbs kosher salt
2 Tbs Herbes de Provence
1 Tbs Soy Sauce
|
Using the tip of sharp knife, make a
series of small holes about 1/4 inch deep all over the top and sides
of the lamb. Strip off the leaves of the rosemary and stuff them
in alternating holes. Cut the garlic into small slivers and stuff
them in the remaining holes. Lightly brush the entire leg of lamb
with oil and then apply the salt and Herbes, patting the spices
until they adhere.
Using indirect heat (heat on one side of the grill, food on the
other), place wood chips in a "pouch" of aluminum foil
with small holes poked in it and place it on the "heat"
side of the grill. Keep the heat in the grill box between 200-225
degrees.
After the first 30 minutes, baste the leg every 15 minutes with
a mixture of oil and soy sauce. If possible, use a cooking thermometer
that is heat resistant and cook the leg until the internal temperature
is about 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the lamb is close to done, remove the lamb from the heat and
let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. |
