Ingredients

1–1.5 kg butterflied leg of lamb, remove excess fat, 2.5–3 lbs
250 mL extra-dry vermouth or 1 cup non-alcholic white wine
30 mL Western Classics extra virgin olive oil 2 tsp
5 mL minced garlic 1 tsp
60 mL grated onion 4 tbsp
5 mL dried rosemary leaves 1 tsp
3 mL ground thyme 1/ 2 tsp
5 mL salt 1 tsp
2 mL pepper 1/ 2 tsp
15 mL Western Family grated parmesan cheese 1 tbsp

Preparation

In a large, shallow, non-metal pan, combine all ingredients except lamb and Parmesan cheese; mix well.

Note: Lamb can also be cooked in the oven. Broil 3" (7.5 cm) from source of heat for 8 minutes per side, brushing with marinade. Reduce oven temperature to 160°C (325°F). (Turn broiler off.) Finish roasting meat in oven for a further 15 minutes per pound, or until the meat thermometer registers 72°C (145°F) for rare.

Add lamb, turning to coat well. Marinate, covered in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

When ready to cook, remove meat, reserving the marinade; pat meat dry; place meat in the barbecue in center of greased grill directly over hot coals; close lid.

Grill meat for a total of 28-30 minutes, turning over every 5 minutes, brushing with marinade.

Sprinkle with Parmesan; let stand, lightly covered with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with grilled asparagus.
