Ingredients

β€’1 teaspoon dried rosemary
β€’1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
β€’4 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
β€’5 - 6 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
β€’About 2 Tablespoons rosemary/garlic-infused olive oil
β€’Juice of 1/2 lemon

β€’Zest of 1 lemon
β€’1 teaspoon dried oregano
β€’Oregano, thyme & rosemary
β€’1 cup plain yogurt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 01

    Mix together the marinade ingredients and smear them all over the lamb, getting into the cracks and crevices of it. Cover and marinade for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.

  2. 02

    Preheat the oven to broil. Rinse the yogurt marinade from the lamb.

  3. 03

    Sprinkle the lamb with salt & pepper, rub all over with olive oil, then set on a broiler pan, fatty side up. Broil for about 5 minutes until nicely browned, then flip and broil the other side for 5 minutes.

  4. 04

    Set the roast in a covered roasting pan, fatty side up.

  5. 05

    Pour the wine in the bottom of the pan. Cover the top of the roast with garlic and sprinkle with herbs. Squeeze the lemon juice over. Cover and roast for 15 - 25 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature is 135 - 150 F (depending on your desired done-ness). When you take it out of the oven, the internal temperature should be 135 for rare, 140 for medium rare, 150 for medium well, 160 for well done.

  6. 06

    Remove from oven, keep covered and let sit for about 30 minutes. (The meat will continue to cook during this time and the internal temperature will rise ... it will also soak up some of the juices from the pan.)

  7. 07

    Remove from pan, slice and enjoy!

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
