Lamb leg grilled on a barbecue
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Lamb is an excellent nutritious type of meat. It is best cooked over an open fire. This way, the specific odor that many people dislike disappears. It vanishes with the smoke. All that remains is the wonderful aroma of grilled shashlik. The finished dish can now be served at the table.

Step 1
First, before going on a picnic, you need to marinate the lamb shish kebab in advance. You can use any part of the lamb carcass—the principle is roughly the same. I used a lamb leg.

Step 2
Prepare the spices. Finely chop the garlic, onion, and herbs. Add spices, salt, and pepper. Pour in a teaspoon of olive oil, although this is optional.

Step 3
Take some foil. Place the lamb leg on it: I'm going to marinate it right in the foil. I'll also bake it in the same foil. Pour a glass of red semi-sweet wine. Rub the leg with spices. Wrap it carefully in the foil, making sure the marinade doesn't leak out and stays inside. That's it, now you can take it outdoors.

By the way, you can also add various vegetables into the foil with the leg. They will roast perfectly on the coals together with the meat. And their flavor will be simply amazing! Place everything onto the grill grate and secure it over the barbecue. Let it cook for about half an hour on each side. The coals should be hot.

Step 5
After an hour, take out the leg and finish roasting it uncovered. You can also finish baking the vegetables at this time. This will give the meat and vegetables an appetizing crust and a rich golden-brown color.

After 10-15 minutes, remove everything from the heat and transfer to a serving dish. The delicious leg of lamb is perfectly cooked through, with a crispy crust on the outside. At moments like this, you regret the existence of civilization. You can't cook like this in the city!
