Servings: 8

Ingredients

1 7- to 8-pound leg of lamb, trimmed of excess fat, boned, butterflied by butcher (4 to 4 3/4 pounds boneless)
2   chopped onions
6 large cloves chopped garlic
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
Hot Red Pepper Relish

2 pounds red bell peppers, chopped fine (about 4 cups)
2 cups chopped onions
2 cups cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon crushed dried hot red pepper flakes


Preparation

  1. Cut lamb into 2 pieces where there is a natural separation in meat and put each piece into a large sealable plastic bag.
  2. In a food processor, puree all remaining ingredients (except relish) until smooth and divide marinade evenly between plastic bags.
  3. Seal bags, pressing out excess air, and put in a shallow baking pan. Marinate lamb, chilled, turning bags once or twice, at least 8 hours or overnight.
  4. Prepare grill.
  5. Discard marinade and grill lamb in batches if necessary on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 7 to 10 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  6. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Serve lamb, thinly sliced across the grain, with relish.
  7. In a heavy saucepan, stir together relish ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour, or until reduced to about 3 cups. Relish may be made 1 month ahead and chilled, covered.
  8. Serve relish chilled or at room temperature.
