Leg of Lamb

The other night my good friend Stacy came over. He had been talking about this leg of lamb that he bought and was just dying to cook. I have a really amazing grill with a rotisserie attached and told Stacy he could bring it over and we could cook it together. We decided to create this feast a Wednesday after work. I picked up a sack of potatoes and some fresh asparagus. We both rushed to meet at my house at 4:30 right after we got off. I started the grill and he went to town seasoning. Stacy works for an Australian Meat company, so anytime we BBQ he is always interested in playing a key role, he loves seasoning, grilling and will try just about anything! He raided my spice cabinet and packed the 4 pound leg of lamb with, dry mustard, oregano, basil, garlic, Cajun spices, and some blackberry jam. We loaded the leg onto the grill and allowed it to cook for just over an hour. When we took the lamb off, we grilled off the asparagus and mashed out the potatoes. I walked around the corner and picked up a decent, inexpensive bottle of Pinot Noir to go with the lamb. As I arrived home the lamb was ready to be sliced. When we cut into the meat the juices were flowing. The meal was ready and it looked amazing! As Stacy, my dad and I sat down to eat and enjoy some wine, we were overwhelmed! The Meat was Fabulous!! The crust that formed on the outside of the lamb was perfection as was the combination of the Pinot Noir with the meat! I am very much looking forward to or next BBQ!
