over and cook another 20 minutes. After 10 minutes on the second side, start checking for doneness. Contrary to many people's ideas, lamb should not be well done but should still be a little pink. When done, slice thin and serve. NOTES: Grilled butterflied leg of lamb -This is the best recipe I have ever had for lamb. It really brings out the flavor wonderfully. It came originally from the "Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook." A wonderful side dish for this is the Spanish recipe for Garlic fried potatoes. Yield: Serves 4-6. For the meat, you need a half leg of lamb which has been butterflied. A good butcher can do this for you but don't be afraid of trying it yourself. To butterfly the leg, take a sharp knife and start at the side and work towards the bone. Once you have found the bone, work along it so you have one side completely slit and then cut out the bone. Depending on which end of the leg you have, you may need to puzzle over some of the weirdnesses of the bone shape. Don't discard the bone, it makes interesting soup. : Difficulty: easy. : Time: 5 minutes preparation, overnight marinating, 40 minutes cooking. : Precision: no need to measure. : Anita Cochran : Astronomy Dept., The Univ. of Texas, Austin, TX, 78712 : anita@astro.as.utexas.edu {noao, ut-sally, ut-emx}!utastro!anita : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
