Step 1

Mix the marinade ingredients keeping aside a small handful of each of the herbs to finish. Season the lamb well.

Step 2

To BBQ, heat the coals and when the flames have died down, spread them to the sides of the grill and put a drip pan in the middle. This will allow the lamb to cook without flare-ups. BBQ for 20 minutes on each side. Or heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and put the lamb in a baking dish skin-side up. Cook for 30-40 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 60C in the thickest part (for pink meat).

Step 3

When the lamb is cooked put on a platter and spoon over the marinade. Cover loosely with foil and rest for 20 minutes. Slice and serve with the marinade, any juices and the remaining chopped herbs.
