ATTENTION! CULINARY EMERGENCY!

I am making lamb for Christmas dinner. I have a five pound boneless leg of lamb that I've decided to butterfly. I need a delicious recipe. Go internets go!

Okay, I suppose it come down to whether I stuff it or marinade it.

Personally I don't think you can go wrong with lemon juice or red wine, olive oil, rosemary and garlic as a marinade for lamb.

But if you want something else - even though this is from Rachel Ray, it really is pretty tasty. I made the leftovers into curry.

Maple - Mustard Leg of Lamb

6 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons coarse-grain mustard
2 garlic cloves, chopped

Combine marinade ingredients and pour over a boned & trimmed leg of lamb. Marinate at least one hour and up to two days. Roast 12-15 minutes per pound at 325.
