1

Cut lamb into big pieces to prevent it from drying on the grill.

2

Marinate lamb with Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, black pepper, crushed pepper, olive oil, and salt. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably 24 hours.

3

Chop garlic for the marinade and add it to the lamb mixture.

4

Cut onions into larger slices and marinate them with Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and crushed pepper. Wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.

5

Prepare collard greens by removing the stems and slicing them very thinly for quick cooking.

6

Make mustard sauce by mixing Dijon mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and crushed pepper. Blend until smooth.

7

Grill the marinated lamb on a very hot grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized.

8

Transfer the grilled lamb to a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 5-10 minutes to ensure it is tender and moist.
