Butterflied Leg of Lamb
We enjoy this way of serving lamb, and it is also a hit with company. It saves a lot of time if you ask your butcher to butterfly the leg for you. This is great either in the broiler or on the BBQ.
8 to 10 servings

olive oil |

kosher salt |
| 4-5 cloves |

Steps:
- Using a paring knife cut slits to insert garlic slivers all through lamb on both sides.
