Dorper Lamb Recipe: BBQ Butterfly Leg with Balsamic Marinade

Marinade:

1. Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard and honey or maple syrup.
2. Add chopped rosemary, thyme, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt and black pepper. Stir till combined.
3. Generously coat the Dorper lamb butterfly leg with the balsamic marinade, making sure it’s evenly coated.
4. If you have time, put the Dorper lamb leg back in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the full flavours of the marinade to penetrate into the meat.
5. When ready, pull out the Dorper leg and discard any leftover marinade. Leave the leg to reach room temperature before cooking.
