Lamb marinade - GF

One fine day we were planning a family BBQ at the holiday house when we suddenly realised, that there weren't enough chops and sausages for everyone! :s Then I remember I had a boned half leg of lamb and got to work.

Dish: Lamb marinade
Special need categories: gluten free, low fructose
Special needs translated: no gluten, no onion

Ingredients:

  • Lamb (I had a boned half leg)
  • Lemon juice & zest
  • Rosemary
  • Lemon thyme
  • Garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Water
  • Salt
  • Pepper
Method:
Combine all ingredients in bowl and add the lamb (or add to the lamb). Now to get your hands dirty. Massage the marinade into the meat and make sure the lamb is well covered, including non-liquid pieces. Allow the meat to marinade for at least an hour, longer would be better.

The water is basically used as a filler to allow the marinade to cover the lamb a littler better however most of the liquid came from the lemon juice. Before I marinaded the lamb I made a few extra cuts to allow it to sit flat on the BBQ because that's how we were cooking it. This marinade could be used for roasts or lamb fillets or chops.

Don't forget that you can put your cooked meat back in the marinade or use it as a dressing but only if it has been cooked. This could be either with the meat (i.e. roasted) or separately (i.e. in microwave or saucepan).
