Instructions

Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Place the lamb in a glass dish and pour the marinade over it, coating it thoroughly. Marinate the meat for 3 to 4 hours, covered, in the refrigerator.

Combine all the ingredients for the dipping sauces in two bowls and allow to sit at for at least an hour to blend the flavors. Place the ingredients for the sauces in a blender or food processor in two batches and process until smooth. (Rinse out the blender between uses.)

Drain the lamb and transfer the leftover marinade in a saucepan. Simmer the marinade for 20 minutes. Toss the vegetables in the marinade and transfer to a vegetable grilling basket.

Over a medium fire, grill the lamb and the vegetables. The lamb should be cooked until medium rare about 10 to 12 minutes, then cut open a sample to check for doneness.. The vegetables should be shaken often and cooked until easily pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes.

Serve the lamb and vegetables with the rice and the dipping sauces on the side. Of course, you can pour the dipping sauces over the entire meal.

Variation; Thread the meat and vegetables on skewers to grill.
