I love lamb, but unlike many, I enjoy the slightly gamey flavor,, and so, ,lightly season with just salt and pepper. It seems to me that the mint coating, and powerful herbs and spices are used to eliminate the gaminess of both lamb, and goat. In any case, I am describing my own preferences. If you are familiar with lamb preparations, and know how you like it, then by all means, add as many flavors, herbs, and spices as you like. You might research lamb recipes, including brines and marinades, here on DC, and on Google. I know that many Greek recipes use wonderful flavor combinations to compliment the natural flavor of the meat. My on,you caution is to not copy the actions of the main cracter in the movie where she muders her husband with a froZen leg of lamb, and then invites freids, and family to a picnic to enjoy a leg of barbecued amb, which of couse, gets rid of the murder weapon (oh My! ).
And yes, I know that I am a bit crazy. Muhwahahahaha!
