How to Cook a Roast Leg of Lamb on the BBQ

A roast leg of lamb is my favourite Sunday roasts. It tender, moist and has amazing amount of flavour.

In the last year few years’ lamb has started to become more available in the US, so I recommend you give it a go.

Ingredients

• Leg of Lamb
• Salt and Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder
• Dried Rosemary
• Dried Thyme
• Garvy Mix
• Olive Oil
• Water

In a bowl add:

• 1 Tbsp Salt
• 1 Tbsp Pepper
• 1/2 Tbsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 Tbsp Onion Powder
• 1 Tbsp Dried Rosemary
• 1 Tbsp Dried Thyme

Mix it all together.

This will help the rub penetrate the meat.

This is a kilo and a half leg of lamb when choosing a leg of lamb you want a thin layer of fat on the outside that will crisp up.

Pour a small amount of olive onto the meat, rub it over meat. This will help the rub stick to the meat.

Cover the leg of lamb with the rub, making for to get the rub into all the cuts.

Normally I don’t cook roast in a tray but for a roast lamb, I like to collect the juice and fat from cooking to make gravy.

I smoked this beautiful roast with apple wood.

Cover with the lid and cook for about 3 and a half to 4 hours.

About 2 hours in a like to add my potatoes. You’ll find my recipe for perfect roast potatoes on the channel.

Take the roast off the BBQ and transfer it to a new tray, tent with foil to rest.

Pour the juices into a small pot.

Add 2 tables spoons of gravy mix.

Mix together with more water.
