Last week we purchased a wonderful leg of lamb from Marvin’s Gardens at the Elizabeth Farmers’ Market. Marvin suggested we marinade it with a simple red wine marinade. Here’s what we did and it was incredible:

1 - 2 pound Leg of Lamb
1 Cup Dry Red Wine
1/4 Cup Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Crushed Garlic Cloves plus 3 sliced Garlic Cloves
3 Tablespoons dried Rosemary
Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper to Taste

Mix the Crushed Garlic, Wine, Rosemary, Olive Oil, and Salt and Pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the Leg of Lamb in a baking dish, cover and refrigerate overnight, turning once. Before grilling, cut tiny slits into the lamb and place sliced garlic into the slits. Grill until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Use the leftover marinade to baste during cooking.
