Techniques
- 1 whole leg of lamb
Butterfly the leg of lamb: cut straight across at the joint, follow the bone around with a sharp knife, flip and cut around the back, break through the joint and release the bone.
- green garlic
- olive oil
Slice the green garlic very thin. Warm olive oil over medium heat, add the garlic and salt, and barely simmer about 20 minutes until softened.
- salt
- fresh lime juice
- fresh thyme
- epazote
Add a squeeze of lime juice, fresh thyme and sliced epazote; simmer another 10 minutes or so.
- salt
- fresh ground pepper
Spoon a little of the mojo over the lamb, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, flip and repeat on the other side.
Grill directly over a medium-high fire, fat cap up, lid closed, flipping after about 15 minutes; about 30 minutes in all depending on the fire.
Cook to about 130 degrees on an instant read thermometer, then rest in a warm place about 10 minutes to coast to about 135.
- herby greens
Slice, shingle around a platter, spoon over the garlic mojo, and put herby greens in the center.
