Yummy! I used lamb T-Bones, which I marinated for about 10 hours before tossing on the grill. The flavor of the lemon is just wonderful, a great complement to the natural flavor of the lamb. I love how simple this is, easy enough to put together before work; and a great dinner waiting when I get home :) -
I used lamb forequarter chops for this recipe, and let it marinade over night.<br/>The only change I made was to use fresh oregano instead of dried and DS & DH said <br/>"They loved the flavours of this marinade". I do not eat lamb, and am going on their opinion's, and believe me if they comment it must be good.<br/>A very simple and easy marinade to make, with ingredient's that I usually on hand.<br/>A great marinade for B.B.Q. lamb.<br/>Thank's Pat. -
This recipe is very similar to one that I found in Cooking Light. My family loved this simple but easy marinade that was a snap to make up. The only changes I made was that I added 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper to the marinade. I served this with grilled baby red potatoes and roasted asparagus. This recipe is definately a keeper!! -
Very easy to make and very similar to one of my recipes which I had forgotten about until I went to file this one.......no wonder I enjoyed it...LOL :) I add lots of freshly ground black pepper and some salt. Cheers :) -
Really nice and quick lamb marinade! I used lamb rosettes and served along with a salad, a really great idea for your next BBQ.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
