Grilled Lamb Sandwich Platter
It's a lot of fun to gather around the sandwich board and everyone make their own!
Ingredients
For the Zesty Feta Spread:
- 1 garlic clove roughly chopped
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- ¾ cup roasted red peppers
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
For the Chimichurri:
- 1 garlic clove roughly chopped
- 1 cup packed fresh parsley leaves and tender stems
- ½ cup packed fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
For the Lamb and Sandwich Platter:
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 boneless leg of lamb butterflied (about 3 to 4 pounds)
- Arugula
- Lemon wedges
- Sweet banana wax peppers
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Rye bread
Instructions
Make the Zesty Feta Spread:
- In food processor, blend garlic, cheese, red peppers and red pepper flakes until well combined and nearly smooth.
Make the Chimichurri:
- In food processor, pulse garlic, parsley, cilantro, vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes until finely chopped. With processor running, drizzle in oil until all oil is incorporated.
Make the Lamb:
- Preheat outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. In small bowl, combine oregano, cumin, salt and cinnamon. Rub all sides of lamb with spice mixture. Transfer lamb to grill and cook 25 to 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F for medium-rare, turning and rotating occasionally. Transfer lamb to cutting board, cover with foil and let stand 10 minutes before slicing (internal temperature will rise 10 degrees).
Assemble the Sandwich Platter:
- Thinly slice lamb and place on platter (cut only what you need for one serving per person, as meat dries out if it is pre-sliced). Arrange arugula, lemon wedges, banana peppers, onion, Zesty Feta Spread and Chimichurri on platter with lamb. Serve with sliced rye bread.
