Ingredients:
Mango Relish

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
1 scallion, green part only, finely chopped
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
2 mangoes, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt

 

Marinade

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 scallion, green part only, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 jalapeño chile, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup dark rum

 

1 boneless leg of lamb, 4 to 5 pounds, butterflied

PREPARATION:

At home
For the mango relish: Place a medium sauté pan over medium heat, add the oil and the onion, bell pepper, scallion, ginger, garlic, and jalapeño and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes.

Add the chopped mango, lime juice, and salt and stir until combined. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Transfer to sealable container and refrigerate until you are ready to pack, up to 24 hours.

For the marinade: Place the oil, onion, scallion, garlic, jalapeño, allspice, lime juice, and rum in the bowl of a blender and purée until just smooth.

Coat both sides of the lamb with the marinade, place it in a sealed container, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.

At the tailgate
Prepare coals for a medium-hot fire. When the coals are ready, grill the lamb for 22 minutes, turning once.

With a sharp knife, cut away the thinner middle section of the leg and transfer it to a platter. Leave the thicker end pieces to cook 5 to 7 minutes longer, turning once.

Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before cutting it on the diagonal into thin slices. If some sections are still too rare, lay the slices on the grill for a few seconds on each side.

Serve with the mango relish.
