Mortar and pestle is very important! It gets all the good stuff out!Wow almost what I made last night....
head of garlic Very finely chopped
Fresh lemon and zest Three lemons Not much juice in them and zest from half of one lemon. About a quarter cup.
Good olive oil Probably too much
Onion very finely chopped about a half cup
a bit of mustard maybe a tablespoon
I dont have Rosemary But I used Herbs De Provence savory, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Lavender leaves are also included in products in the North American market. When I cook with the one I have I detect a bit of cinnamon... and I like it.
I don't have a mortar and pestle but I chopped everything up very fine and placed it all in a jar... Shook it up and let it set
My plan is to place the lamb in a seal-able bag and pour the liquid marinade in there... So Its not a rub... Right now the whole thing is about two cups... the Lamb weighs about a pound and a half.
Why the extra fat inserted... Bacon or goose... I know why in very lean meats... But this is very marbled But its from a leg so why I am braising it. Connective tissue.

The goose/bacon give some smoked taste that is very nice.
