Ingredients

ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE
1 tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice, divided
1 tbsp. lemon zest, divided
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. Kosher salt, divided, to taste
2 tbsp. garlic, chopped
1 tsp. cayenne pepper

Marinade

1 tsp. Australian leg of lamb, boneless
1-1/8 lb. roasted red pepper (about 5 peppers/3 cups)
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 tbsp. lemon zest, divided
2 tbsp. lemon juice, divided
1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

To make marinade, combine the cayenne, garlic, Kosher salt, ½ cup of the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the lemon zest, ¼ cup of the lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of the rosemary. Pour over the lamb. Refrigerate lamb for 24 hours, turning every few hours to coat in marinade.

Place leg on a preheated grill and cover. After 15 minutes, remove the cover and turn. Cover again. Continue to turn meat every 15 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F, about 35-45 minutes.

To make the roasted red pepper sauce, combine half of the roasted red peppers, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and ½ teaspoon of rosemary in a blender. Blend until smooth. Fold in the remaining roasted red pepper. Season to taste with salt. Refrigerate until needed.

To serve, slice lamb and place 6 ounces on a plate. Top with ¼ cup of chunky roasted red pepper sauce.
