Allspice and lime juice make this very attractive.

I normally don't do an actual marinade on lamb-- I instead
rub it with the spices, then splash some lime juice on it,
and let it sit about one hour. If it's a tender piece of
lamb a full immersion-type marinade is probably unnecessary.

But now that I think of it, I have a more complicated jerk marinade that
I could use instead.

Jerk marinades and lamb don't mix, IMO. I love lamb and I've
jerked everything (cue Sheldon), but jerked lamb just doesn't
work.

It sounds interesting, but I won't be able to grill it.
I was thinking I would marinate, then roll, tie and roast.

This would be for Sunday dinner.

But now that I think of it, I have a more complicated jerk marinade that
I could use instead.
It includes orange juice, soy, vinegar, thyme, sage, habaneros and some
other things I can't recall right now.
Either way, I think the lamb would be good - no?

What to serve with it though?

This looks like a great recipe. Maybe serve it with lavosh bread,
hummus, couscous, babaganoush, olive, tomato and feta salad?...

How about the Potato Onion Gratin that was recently posted.
The herbs in it go with your marinade and are great with lamb.
