.SK 1
Have the butcher butterfly the leg of lamb, or do it yourself.
.SK 2
Combine all remaining ingredients in a glass, enamel, stainless,
or plastic container, and beat with a whisk or fork until
combined. It takes a few minutes.

Add the lamb, turning it to make sure it is coated on all sides.
Marinate two hours at room temperature, or overnight in the
refrigerator.
Check occasionally to make sure that it is still coated with the
marinade, and re-cover as necessary.

Grill outside, or broil inside at
