each piece into a large sealable plastic bag.

In a food processor, puree all remaining ingredients (except relish) until

out excess air, and put in a shallow baking pan. Marinate lamb, chilled,
turning bags once or twice, at least 8 hours or overnight.

Prepare grill.

Discard marinade and grill lamb in batches if necessary on an oiled rack
set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 7 to 10 minutes on each side for
medium-rare. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.

Serve lamb, thinly sliced across the grain, with relish.

In a heavy saucepan, stir together ingredients and simmer, stirring
occasionally, about 1 hour, or until reduced to about 3 cups. Relish may be
made 1 month ahead and chilled, covered.

Serve relish chilled or at room temperature.
