Add the lamb cubes to the bag, tossing to coat. Seal bag and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, rotating the bag occasionally to continually coat the lamb.





Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Remove lamb from refrigerator about 30 minutes before grilling to bring the meat to room temperature.





To assemble the kabobs: fill skewers, alternating peppers, lamb, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms until all ingredients are used.





Grill skewers, rotating to char lamb on all sides, until cooked to desired doneness, about 7 to 8 minutes for medium-rare.What is a good lamb recipe for grille, oven, or stove top?

Bon apetit :)
it depends on the cut! I never tend to use the grill anyway - If I have a rack of lamb, then I prepare an aromatic mix with breadcrumbs, which I spread on the rack (I place it on a tin with the bones facing down) and then pop it in the oven for about half an hour (fan on, no grill). If I have chops I pan fry them, If I have any tougher part (e.g. from the neck) then this will require a slow cooking method which I prefer to do on the stove.
Leg of lamb on the bone, pierce 8-10 times with small knife. Into each hole place small sprig of Rosemary, a clove of garlic and an anchovy
Easy Roast Leg of Lamb





';This is an easy leg of lamb recipe that has been a family tradition for years around the holidays. Very little prep work required, however patience is a must.';





Original recipe yield: 4 servings





PREP TIME 30 Min


COOK TIME 1 Hr


READY IN 1 Hr 30 Min














INGREDIENTS


1 (4 pound) leg of lamb, deboned and tied


1 tablespoon ground black pepper


1 teaspoon salt


5 cloves garlic, cut into slivers


2 sprigs fresh rosemary


1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce





DIRECTIONS


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


Rub the leg of lamb all over with salt and pepper. Use a small knife to make punctures in the lamb about 1 inch apart. Press slivers of garlic into each hole so that they are about 1/2 inch below the surface. Place the meat in a roasting pan. You can either remove the rosemary from the stalk and sprinkle and rub into the meat on all sides, or you can simply use the string from the lamb to secure against it. Pour the can of tomato sauce over the whole thing.


Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, then lower the temperature to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C), and continue roasting until the internal temperature of the meat is at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 15 minutes. If you want the meat well done, wait until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).








Recipe: Meat: Easy Grilled Lamb





1 leg of lamb (6-7 pounds), boned %26amp; butterflied by the butcher


6-7 gloves garlic, cut lengthwise into slivers


1 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt


2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper


1/3 cup Herbes de Provence





Prepare the grill.





Pat dry the lamb so that the herbs will stay on better. Using a small sharp knife, make 25 or so slits about 1 inch deep (do not go all the way through!) all over the meat. Insert the garlic slivers into the slits. Sprinkle half the salt and half the pepper on one side of the meat, rubbing the seasonings into the meat. Repeat on the other side with the remaining salt and pepper. Repeat this treatment with the dried herbs, really pressing them into the meat with the palm of your hand.





Grill lamb on one side, over medium-hot coals) for about 10 minutes. Watch carefully so meat does not burn. Turn meat over and cook for another 20 minutes or so, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 135F (medium rare) or 145F (medium).





Allow lamb to ';rest'; for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serves 8-10.
