Ingredients:

Serving

1 (5 -6 lb) leg of lamb , butterflied
1 garlic clove, mashed
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil

Directions:

Mix all ingredients, except for the lamb.
Brush the entire lamb with the marinade and let stand in a glass dish for 2 hours, turning occasionally. (You can marinate longer in the refrigerator if you like).
To roast, insert 2 skewers through the meat at right angles, crossing each other, or use wire broiler basket.
Roast over medium coals for 2 hours (sounds long to me so be careful and check for doneness to your liking-2 hours is for well done), turning every 15 minutes and brushing with remaining marinade (don't brush toward end due to raw juices in the marinade and cooking safety.).
Meat should be well-done but juicy.
