1 cup red wine vinegar
Three quarters cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
One half cup dry red wine
Generous amount of fresh ground pepper and salt to taste

Place butterflied leg of lamb in baking dish.  Combine next five ingredients and pour over lamb.  Top with fresh rosemary stalks. Marinate for at least 2 hours.  Prepare charcoal grill.  Cook marinated lamb over hot grill for 25 minutes or until done, turning once or twice.  Remove and replace rosemary stalks when turning lamb.  Cooking time will vary depending on heat of fire and thickness of lamb so be careful.
