Instructions
Using a small, sharp knife, make 24 incisions all over the lamb. Stuff each incision with a piece of anchovy and garlic and a pinch of the rosemary. In a roasting pan, combine the 1/4 cup of olive oil with the wine and lavender.
Add the lamb and coat well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Light a grill. Bring the lamb to room temperature and season with salt and pepper. Grill the lamb over a moderately low fire for about 40 minutes, or until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125 for medium rare.
Transfer the lamb to a carving board, cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing it.
Serve with lemon wedges and additional olive oil.
