Ingredients:

2 1/4 lb leg lamb, boned and butterflied, trimmed of fat

6 sprigs rosemary
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 white onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup white wine

Remove the meat from the marinade. Cook in a covered barbecue for approximately 2 hours or until cooked through. Stand, covered for 10 minutes before carving. Boil leftover marinade for 5 minutes to serve with the meat.
