1. 1

   Place the lamb in a non-reactive roasting pan and set aside while you prepare the glaze.

2. 2

   Combine the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sugar, both the mustards, lemon juice, oil, garlic, and ginger in a small, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

3. 3

   Cook until thick and syrupy, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as necessary.

5. 5

   Let cool to room temperature.

6. 6

   Pour half the cooled glaze over the lamb in the roasting pan, brushing to coat on alt sides.

7. 7

   Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 3 to 8 hours (the longer the better).

8. 8

   Set up the grill for indirect grilling (see page 14 or 16). placing a large drip pan in the center, and preheat to medium.

9. 9

   When ready to cook, place the lamb on the hot grate over the drip pan and brush with more glaze.

10. 10

    Cover the grill and cook the lamb until done to taste, 2 to 2 1/2 hours; an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the leg (but not touching the bone) will register 16Q`F for medium.

11. 11

    Brush the leg with glaze two or three times during cooking.

12. 12

    If using a charcoal grill, add 10 to 12 fresh coals per side every hour.

13. 13

    Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and brush one last time with glaze, then let stand far 10 minutes before carving.

14. 14

    While the lamb stands, heat any remaining glaze to serve as a sauce with the lamb.
