This recipe has been adapted from a favourite Armenian recipe from the mother of Andrew Chase, our associate food editor. In fact, it was his childhood birthday-dinner request, served with rice pilaf and green beans cooked in an oregano-and-garlic tomato sauce.

Ingredients
Method
In large bowl, combine parsley, lemon rind and juice, oil, garlic, marjoram, caraway seeds, salt and pepper; set aside.
Trim fat from lamb. Cut slits all over lamb; insert bacon piece in each. Add to marinade, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, for 8 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Place lamb on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning once, for 20 to 30 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 140°F (60°C) for rare or until desired doneness.
Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain. Serve with any accumulated juices.
