Grilled Leg of Lamb with Rosemary & Orange Marinade

 My rosemary plant is no more thanks to my super-active mother in law who had weeded it. So when I opened President's Choice rosemary pack, I imagined a simple rub for a lamb leg. The recipe inside the container looked so good and so simple that I couldn't help whisking together a quick fragrant and colorful marinade:
