Peppery coriander marinade for lamb - house beautiful

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
teaspoon Black peppercorns
1 tablespoon Coriander seeds
1 teaspoon Salt
4 Cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Orange zest, minced
3 tablespoons Olive oil
1 3 1/2-lb leg of lamb, shank half, trimmed of excess fat

Directions

In a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, grind together the peppercorns and coriander seeds. Place mixture in a small bowl and add remaining ingredients, except lamb, mixing until a paste is formed.

Rub paste all over lamb, place in a noncorrosive baking dish and cover loosely with waxed paper and aluminum foil. Marinate for at least 8 hours at room temperature, or 24 hours in refrigerator.

Bake lamb, with marinade, in the middle of a preheated 375'F oven until the interior temperature is at least 125'F (rare), or 140'F (medium), and skin is golden all over, about 1 hour and 5 minutes to 1½ hours.

Remove pan from oven and let meat rest for 20 minutes before serving.
