Ingredients

1 x boneless leg of lamb
1 cup red wine
1/4 cup olive oil, extra-virgin
2 cloves garlic chopped
2 teaspoons oregano dry
2 teaspoons basil dry
1 x black pepper freshly ground
2 x red chili peppers halved
1 x eggplant sliced
1 x zucchini sliced
1 pint mushrooms, portabella
24 x asparagus spears
1 x olive oil for grilling
1/3 cup almonds
1 cup italian parsley chopped
1/2 cup basil chopped
1/4 cup olive oil, extra-virgin
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons feta cheese

Directions

1. Place lamb in a shallow ceramic or glass casserole dish. Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over the lamb. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight, turning lamb over once or twice during that time. Discard marinade.

2. Preheat a hooded barbecue to medium heat. Cook lamb with hood closed turning it once or twice, about 10-15 minutes each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130-140°F in the thickest part. Remove from the grill and transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

3. While the lamb is resting, brush the vegetables with oil and grill until lightly browned and tender. Arrange on a large platter with the sliced lamb and pesto.

4. To make the pesto, place the almonds, parsley, basil, oil and juice in a food processor and process to a coarse paste. Add the cheese and process just to combine.
