Serves 7-8

Christmas Rotisserie Boneless Leg of Lamb Ingredients

  • 5 lbs. boneless leg of lamb
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp rosemary salt

Rosemary Salt

  • ½ cup sea salt flakes
  • ¾ cup rosemary, removed from stalks
  • Zest from 1 lemon

Christmas Rotisserie Boneless Leg of Lamb Directions

  1. Remove all silver skin from the leg of the lamb.
  2. Rub lamb liberally with olive oil and season all sides of the lamb with rosemary salt.
  3. Form the leg of lamb into an even cylinder and tie every 2 inches with butcher's twine.
  4. Slide spit through the center of the lamb and clamp both ends with rotisserie forks.
  5. Place the lamb on the rotisserie and set to high heat. Add a drip pan under the lamb to catch the drippings. Allow the lamb to cook for 40 minutes or until its internal temperature reaches 130°F.
  6. Remove from rotisserie and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Rosemary Salt

  1. Preheat the grill or oven to 200°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. The foil will make it easy to pour into the grinder later.
  3. Mix salt, ½ cup rosemary, and lemon zest on one side of the foil-lined tray. Place the ¼ cup rosemary on the other side of the tray. Be very careful not to mix these two piles together at this point.
  4. Place on grill over indirect heat or in oven for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove from the grill or oven and let cool to room temperature. Form foil into a funnel for an easy and mess-free pour into a coffee grinder.
  6. Add the salt, ½ cup rosemary, and lemon zest to a coffee grinder and blend it coarsely. Be careful not to overgrind, or you'll end up with powder. Pour into an airtight container.
  7. Blend the remaining ¼ cup of rosemary in a coffee grinder until it becomes a powder.
  8. Pour into the same container with the coarse salt mixture, cover, and shake to blend.
  9. Store in an airtight container.
