LEG OF LAMB ROTISSERIE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Start by taking the rosemary and thyme off of the stems and finely mincing them and the sage. Mince the garlic up and put it in a bowl with the herbs, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to make a paste.
• Score the lamb with small criss-cross cuts around the leg. Rub the herb paste over the lamb, making sure that you get it into all of the nooks and crannies. Let the lamb rest for at least two hours before roasting.
• Take the spit and insert in through the lamb. Spit roasting works best when you skewer the meat lengthwise as close to the center as possible, to keep the weight balanced. It's very important to secure the meat using the large forks that come with your rotisserie kit.
• Roast the lamb over low heat until it reaches an internal temperature between 140 to 145℉. A three-pound leg will usually take around an hour and a half. 
• Take the lamb off the spit and let it rest covered with foil for 15 to 20 minutes. Slice and enjoy.

Steps:

• Combine the wine, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Place the lamb in a shallow pan, and pour the marinade over the meat. Cover and refrigerate, turning and rotating the lamb periodically, for 4 to 5 hours.
• Remove the lamb from the marinade. Pat dry with paper towels. Wrap the piece of meat around the rotisserie rod. Secure with clamps and tie the rolled roast together with cotton string.
• Cook over the prepared coals until the meat is the desired temperature, 145 degrees for medium-rare, 160 degrees for medium, about 2 hours.
