Leg Of Lamb For Today

(SIC) BBQ · Posted: Sep 25 2005 Post subject: Leg Of Lamb For Today

Fresh from the butcher this morning... 8lb leg of lamb. I'm going to butterfly the leg and rub with a herb paste. I'm going to go low and slow with it until it hits a internal temp of 145-150deg. This is my first so if anybody has tips, tricks, or suggestions let me know.

Here she is ready for the cook. I rubbed it with a paste consisting of fresh garlic, rosemary, basil, oregano, olive oil, itailan dressing, black pepper, and a sprinkle of creole. Smells great!!

Thanks guy's, I will do more of these for sure, I loved it. Didn't really have any problems with temp management when it started dumping and blowing, all in all a good day.

Sounds like a good reason to pick up a leg... The boss say's so. Smile

I enjoyed some lamb and eggs this morning for breakfast and man was it good, the lamb went perfectly with the eggs.

SIC,
No disrespect to the other guys on here, but you always do some damn good lookin' Q, and you always have some great pictures to document what you did. Good job!

Great looking Q there Sic. I have never had leg of lamb before but your pics sure make me want to try it. Very Happy

One of the things I like about this site is how I can identify with so many people. The wives picking on us about taking pics hits close to home here! Laughing

She thinks I'm 100% certifiable taking pictures before the rub, after the rub, on the cooker, after cooking, etc. She just doesn't get it. Rolling Eyes
