Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Marinate the lamb. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a zip top bag. Add the leg of lamb to the bag and massage to evenly distribute. Place the bag in the refrigerator and allow the lamb to marinate overnight for 8-24 hours.

  2. Preheat the smoker. Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F. I recommend using pecan wood for this smoke.

Nicholas v ★ 5.0/5

Would it be a bad idea to inject the leg before smoking? Possibly with a bone broth and the same herbs you prescribe advice?

Terry Beyer ★ 5.0/5

The receipt does not list the salt and pepper for the marinade but the video does

Easy and delicious. I let my lamb marinate for 2 days. Smoked it with Pecan. It was the hit of the patry.

Ray Stafford ★ 3.0/5

The lamb turned out juicy and tender with just faint tastes of the lemon marinade after about 13 hours of marinading. I rated it three stars because the recipe needs to be updated to match the video. Another reviewer mentioned it a couple of years ago and it’s yet to be updated. Recipe never calls for blending all the ingredients together (like the video). It instructs you to add the ingredients directly into a plastic bag. It doesn’t mention salt or pepper and a couple of other things as well. Please update it to reflect the video.

OMG. I made the smoked leg of lamb on my Traeger pellet smoker this past weekend. It was incredible and I used pecan pellets as suggested. Can't wait to make it again.

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
