Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh marjoram, (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 2 tsp caraway seeds, crushed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 butterflied leg of lamb, (about 2 -1/2 lb)
  • 4 slices pancetta, chopped

Preparation

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 pancetta 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 grill, turning once, until meat thermometer registers 140°F (60°C) for rare, 20 to 30 minutes, 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.
