1.Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a glass pan.
Cut one of the lemons into 8 pieces and put into the pan. slide some of the rosemary
leaves off the sprigs into the juice.
2. Cut between the muscles in leg open to flatten out. the leg a bit. Cover and let this
sit overnight in the fridge.
3. I BBQued the lamb. One of the reasons is that it brings me back to how many
celebrations in the old world was cooking a lamb over an open fire rotissere.
I used some bamboo skewers to hold the meat together well. I cooked this on medium heat
for about 15 minutes.
Carefully turn over the lamb and continue to cook for another 15 minutes. I cooked this to a medium
doneness, about 140 degrees F. If you like it well done then cook to 160 degrees F. It will continue to cook a bit after you take it off the grill. Let the meat sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the Lammbraten with
