Ingredients
- Onion Relish Marinade (see recipe)
- 5 lrg hard-ripe pears peeled, halved & cored (5 to 6) (about 8 ounce each)
- 1 x leg of lamb (about 6 pounds) boned and trimmed of fat salt and pepper
Directions
- Makes 10 - 12 Servings
- Prepare Onion Relish Marinade and bring to a boil over high heat. Add in pears; reduce heat, cover and simmer, turning fruit over occasionally, till tender when pierced (about 10 min).
- With a slotted spoon, gently transfer pears to a bowl. Pour about a fourth of the pan liquid through a strainer over pears; return solids in strainer to pan. Cover pears and chill for at least 2 hrs or possibly till next day, turning fruit over occasionally.
- Meanwhile, place lamb, boned side up, on a board; cut long, deep slashes through thickest sections and press apart to give meat an even thickness. Place lamb in a large bowl; add in remaining Onion Relish Marinade from pear cooking pan. Cover and chill for at least 2 hrs or possibly till next day, turning lamb over several times.
- Lift lamb from marinade; shake off seasonings. Set lamb aside. Transfer marinade left in bowl to a 4 to 5-qt pan; then drain liquid from pears into pan. Bring to a boil over high heat; boil, uncovered, stirring often, till mix is reduced to about 2 1/2 c. and almost all liquid has evaporated (about 10 min). Pour this onion relish into a small bowl.
- Lay lamb out flat, boned side up, on a grill over a solid bed of warm coals. Scatter 10 charcoal briquettes onto coals. Cook, turning as needed, till lamb is proportionately browned and done to your liking; cut in thickest part to test (about 45 min for medium-rare).
- About 15 min before lamb is done, thread pear halves, cut sides up, onto parallel thin metal skewers (this keeps fruit from spinning). Lay pears on grill and cook, turning several times, till hot (about 15 min).
- Transfer lamb and pears to a large hot platter. Slice lamb; serve with pears and onion relish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
