1 (4-lb.) boneless leg of lamb, butterflied
4 teaspoons kosher salt
100 large garlic cloves
5 scallions, coarsely chopped
1 3/4 cups coarsely chopped yellow onion (from 1 large onion)
1 large celery stalk, coarsely chopped
1 (3-in.) piece unpeeled ginger, coarsely chopped
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
Cooking spray
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons finely chopped salted peanuts
3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt (such as Maldon)
10 lime wedges (from 3 limes)

1
Place leg of lamb on a large cutting board. Butterfly and open any parts of the lamb thicker than 1 inch. Sprinkle evenly with kosher salt.
2
Process garlic, scallions, yellow onion, celery, and ginger in a food processor until very finely chopped, about 10 seconds. Add soy sauce and sesame oil; pulse to combine.
3
Place lamb in a large baking dish; top with soy sauce mixture, and rub evenly over lamb. Cover, and refrigerate 12 to 16 hours, turning occasionally.
4
Preheat a gas grill to high (450u00b0F to 500u00b0F) on 1 side. Remove lamb from marinade, wiping off excess and discarding marinade. Place lamb on grill racks coated with cooking spray over lit side of grill. Cook until grill marks are well-formed, 8 minutes. Flip and grill until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 120u00b0F, another 8 minutes. If lamb starts to get too dark, transfer meat to unlit side of grill to finish cooking. Remove from grill; let rest 15 minutes.
5
Slice lamb against the grain, and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle with cilantro, peanuts, and salt; serve with lime wedges.
