Barbequed Leg of Lamb Recipe

• 1 leg of lamb
• ¼ cup of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped oregano (rosemary or other favourite herbs)
• 2 - 3 cloves of thinly sliced garlic
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Remove the bone and butterfly your leg of lamb, splay the meat flat and remove most of the fat. (If you're not confident to do this yourself - you can ask your butcher to do it for you.) You should now have a large piece of meat of about even thickness. Drizzle the meat with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano and garlic slivers and rub them into the meat.

You now may wish to leave the meat to marinate the meat for a few hours to intensify the flavours. Finally season with plenty of salt and pepper and place on a hot grill, cover and cook for 20-30 minutes, turning once until the meat cooked to your liking.

Rest the meat, covered with foil for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with your favourite summer salads or barbequed vegetables.
