FOR THE RUB

: To make the rub, combine sugar, mustard, and ginger (use your hands). Rub all over the leg of lamb. Transfer to a large, shallow dish. Grill immediately. Charcoal Grilling: : Bank charcoal briquettes on one side of the grill. Let the coals burn down until covered with white ash. Lightly oil the grill.

Cook the lamb directly over the coals, turning until seared, approximately every five to ten minutes on each side until golden.
