Best Grilled Lamb Recipe:
I was bound and determined to make this grilled lamb leg recipe as
part of our 4th of July weekend this year.
We grew up in Western
Pennsylvania where lamb on the rod is very popular, but that is not the case
here in Western New York.
Lamb on the rod is the leg of the lamb cubed up and
grilled on skewers,
and best served with Syrian Bread, garlic sauce, peppers, and onion sauce.
All of which I will tell you how we made.
My daughter picked up two boneless 3-pound legs of lamb packages at
Sam’s Club
and asked the butcher to cube it up for grilling on skewers. You can do this
yourself just trim the fat and cut it into nice 1-inch pieces.
I marinated the lamb in Italian salad dressing and placed it in the
refrigerator overnight. We also made the garlic sauce and peppers and
onion sauce the day before.

Easy Garlic Sauce Recipe:
10 cloves of fresh garlic
16 oz. sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon oil
Add all these ingredients into a blender or your food processor, we used
our
NutriBullet to
do this, and mix until it is liquid, then refrigerate it overnight.
How to make the Peppers and Onion Sauce:
2 medium-sized onions (Diced)
2 16 oz. jars of hot or mild pepper rings (I used one hot and one
mild)
1 tablespoon oil
Time to cook the lamb, I skewered the lamb and seasoned it with salt,
pepper, and garlic powder. I set the
grill on the medium setting and grilled it for about 12 to 15 minutes turning the skewers frequently. I
also switched the skewers around to avoid hot spots on the grill.
Now off of the skewers and onto a plate, I used a two-prong fork to push
the lamb off of the skewers. You can have the two sauces on the side or I
like to spoon both sauces over my lamb, add a slice of the Syrian Bread for
dipping and enjoy.
