Oh weber! How I love thee

I decided to throw a surprise birthday party for my wife, by inviting 4 of her good friends for a small dinner.
The menu was:
Charcoal grilled Turkish Bread and Garlic Paste (A Lebanese speciality)
Prosecco and wine
Spaghetti and home made pesto (basil from our garden)
More wine
Moroccan leg of lamb in the Weber (put in 1 and a half hours ago)
Corn grilled in the husk and fresh asparagus and a salad of leaves, toasted pine nuts and walnuts, and pears and grapes.
Blueberries, Raspberries & Strawberries in Prosecco jelly and Belgian chocolates

All went well, but the Weber was the star of the show. Get the coals going (about 40 minutes) then anything just cooks beautifully.

Well I probably get credit for about 2 weeks!!!

Hi Al

I'm a big fan of using the bbq to cook a whole leg of lamb. Sometime I marinate a butterflied leg of lamb in lemon juice, basil, parsley, olive oil and garlic. I do it on the gas bbq but i think that next time i will try it over the coals on our weber.
