Ingredients

  • 1 1/2-2 lbs boneless leg of lamb

  1. Trim fat from lamb. Cut lamb across the grain into 1/2 to 3/4-inch slices. Place lamb in large plastic bag. For marinade, in a small bowl stir together lemon peel, 1/3 cups of the lemon juice, 4 tbsp of the olive, oregano, salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Pour marinade over lamb; seal bag. Marinate in fridge for 8-24 hrs, turning bag occasionally.

  3. Grill lamb and tomatoes over medium for 8 minutes.

  4. Transfer tomatoes to a cutting board; cool slightly and coarsely chop. Toss tomatoes with feta mixture. Serve with lamb.
