Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Using a small, sharp knife, make 24 incisions all over the lamb.
  2. Stuff each incision with a piece of anchovy and garlic and a pinch of the rosemary.
  3. In a roasting pan, combine the 1/4 cup of olive oil with the wine and lavender.
  4. Add the lamb and coat well.
  5. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Light a grill. Bring the lamb to room temperature and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Grill the lamb over a moderately low fire for about 40 minutes, or until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium rare.
  8. Transfer the lamb to a carving board and cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing it.
  9. Serve with lemon wedges and additional olive oil.
