INSTRUCTIONS
1 Alder wood chips produce a delicately flavored smoke that enhances the
taste of the lamb without overpowering it. Mesquite chips can be used also.
Find wood chips for smoking at hardware or grocery stores.
2 Soak alder wood chips in water 1 to 24 hours. Drain well.
3 Trim fat from roast. Make 1/2-inch-deep slits into roast; place garlic in
slits. Combine wine and next 4 ingredients in a large zip-top heavy-duty
plastic bag. Add roast; seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours,
turning bag occasionally. Remove roast from bag, reserving marinade; set
aside.
4 Prepare charcoal fire in meat smoker, and let burn 15 to 20 minutes.
Place alder chips on top of coals. Place water pan in smoker; add reserved
marinade and mint sprigs. Add hot tap water to fill pan.
5 Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place rack in smoker. Place roast on
rack; insert meat thermometer into thickest portion of roast. Cover with
smoker lid, and cook 3 hours or until meat thermometer registers 140 deg
(rare). Refill water pan with water, and add additional charcoal to fire as
needed.
6 Remove roast from smoker; let stand 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 12
servings (serving size: 3 ounces lamb).
