34 Butterflied leg of American lamb

In a food processor add olive oil, yellow onion, garlic, dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt and pepper. Pulse until pureed. Next, place the leg of lamb in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the lamb. Place the lamb in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours.

Next, remove the lamb from the fridge and place on the kitchen counter at least an hour before grilling. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the lamb for about 10 minutes or each side for medium-rare. Remove the lamb from the grill and let it rest on a serving platter before slicing and serving.
