3 cloves garlic
4 stalks rosemary
Small handful of fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground star anise
Juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup olive oil
Pepper and salt
Drop the garlic cloves onto blades running at speed 8 then stop the machine, add everything else in and blitz on 8 for 10 seconds. Stop, scrape down then blitz again on 8 for 10 seconds.
This makes enough for a whole butterflied leg of lamb.
I usually marinate for 2-3 hours then cook in a very slow oven (120) for a couple of hours til the meat is mostly cooked through (just a hint of pink left) then char on a very hot BBQ for about 5 minutes each side. To serve with the lamb as a dressing I also mix about a cup of yoghurt with some fresh herbs (usually mint and chives), the tiniest amount of crushed garlic and lemon (depending on tartness of the yoghurt).
Not sure how Greek this really is but it is rather tasty. Have been making variations of it for quite some time. I think the original recipe had yoghurt in the marinade and was from the weber kettle BBQ book that I no longer have.
