Delicious Lamb Marinade

Last week I taught a Cottage Entertaining class at work. The chef for the night, Sandra Katsiou developed an amazingly delicious leg of lamb recipe for the class. I have been dreaming about the lamb ever since so I decided to make it tonight. A leg of lamb is too large just for the two of us, so I used the marinade on some  lamb chops. I served it up with some salad and it was perfect summer evening dinner.

Sandra's Lamb Marinade

• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup regular dijon mustard
• 1 Tbsp. grainy dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 shallots, minced
• 6 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp. cumin seeds
• the juice of 2 lemons
• salt and pepper to taste

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until combined.
2. Pour all but 3 Tbsp. of the  marinade into a zip lock bag with the lamb and let marinade for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Grill your lamb on the BBQ, basting with the reserved marinade.
