Stuffed Butterflied Leg of Lamb with Caramelized Lemon JusCraig Cutler

The richness of the lamb is balanced by the sweet-tart lemon sauce. To make things easier, ask the butcher to trim the lamb for you.

What to drink:

A Tuscan red can stand up to the bold flavors of the grilled lamb. The 2006 Col d'Orcia "Spezieri"($11) has delicious cherry flavors that pair well with the meat. Plus, this Sangiovese blend is a great value.
