How to Make New Zealand Lamb Marinade

Place your chosen cut of lamb (approx. 1.5 lbs) in a dish just large enough to hold the meat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients until well combined.
Pour the marinade generously over the lamb, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, turning the lamb halfway through to ensure even marination.
Remove the lamb from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
Cook the lamb as desired – grill, pan-fry, roast, or slow cook until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Cooking times will vary depending on the cut and cooking method (see note below).
Let the cooked lamb rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
