I have tried a lot of lamb dishes but this one is not as flavorful as the others. And also. that greek style yogurt is so hard to find. Most grocery stores dont even know what it is. By the way, I found it at Trader joes

Yogurt-Mint Marinated Grilled Leg of Lamb Review

This is a no brainer. If you have the luxury of grill at your disposal, the grilling process gives the lamb an absolute delicious crunchy layer that leads itself to a moist succulent inner layer. Mr. Flay inspired me to purchase a beautiful Weber gas grill this summer, and my husband is estatic in my grilling forerays. I tried out this recipe before the grill, by searing the lamb on the stove top then baking. The flavor was just as good, but if you are into texture, nothing replaces the outer layer of the lamb that can only be done on a grill. First night I served the lamb with roasted potatoes, veggies et al (sorry, a bit boring ). The left over the next eve was the real hit: the meat melded into some incredible flavors. I served up like tacos: fresh batch of the mint and yogurt as a condiment, sliced red onions, fresh greens (baby lettuce), roma tomatoes off the vine, Lavash bread and red Zinfandel. Comfort food at it's best! I've made this half a dozen times now and friends always ask 'When are you grilling lamb?!"




Flavorful and easy

The result was tender and lip-smacking meat. Make a lot because you'll want seconds and thirds. I deviated from the recipe in that I added salt and pepper and red pepper flakes to the marinade and I made this the day before for full flavor absorption.




Maravillosa

Line a strainer with cheese cloth. Add plain yogurt. Drain about 15 to 30 minutes or until liquid is diminished.

This was one of the easiest and delicious lamb dishes I ever made. I couldn't find greek yogurt, so I used plain yogurt. I expect my marinade was not as thick as it would have been with the greek yogurt, but I dont think that mattered. I highly recommend this dish. Thanks Bobby!




Needed more.

I wasn't able to find greek yogurt, so used another good brand & perhaps that hampered the flavor. Also do not overcook the lamb. I prefer my lamb med-rare but my guest like theirs med & I found it to be not as juicy & not as tasty as I would of liked.

I marinated this just under 24 hours. it came out great. just make sure before you put it on the grill that any excess marinade is removed cuz it will burn really quick. great job bobby.




Right On!!!

I am typically not a fan of lamb, but with the marinade and grilling it, made it rather delicious. the mint was not overpowering but provided a subtle flavor to the lamb.




Fantastic dish and a few tips

I am a Middle Eastern food snob and this lamb was spot on. I highly recommend this recipe. I've been making this recipe for years and it is always a hit. TIP 1. If you cannot find Greek yogurt, simply buy plain regular or fat free yogurt. Place the yogurt is a lint-less dish towel or several layers of cheese cloth. Place the towel in a strainer over a bowel and allow to drain over night in the fridge. The next day you will have a lovely, thick yogurt cheese, or Greek yogurt. TIP 2. Marinating overnight really seemed to take this recipe to the next level. If you want to go Greek to change it a bit, add 1 tbsp. oregano, 1 tbsp. marjoram and the juice and zest of 1 lemon to the yogurt mixture. And don't forget the tzatziki sauce pitas, tomatoes, cucumber and red onions.
