Recipe: Butterfly Cut Leg of Lamb
1 whole de-boned leg of lamb, butterfly cut
2-3 ea garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 lemon, juiced and rind finely grated
3 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to season
Method:
1. In a bowl combine the garlic, rosemary, paprika, lemon juice, lemon rind and olive oil.
2. Rub this marinade in to the lamb then season with a good grind of salt and fresh cracked pepper.
Hint - It is even better if you have enough time to marinade the meat overnight.
3. Pre-heat your BBQ to 180 degrees Celsius with the lid down. Ensure the coals are red hot / white
on the outside. Hint - measure the temperature with the Wiltshire oven thermometer
4. Use the indirect cooking method by placing the coals / briquettes on either side of the BBQ
preferably around an aluminum foil drip tray in the centre to catch any fat or juices dripping from
the lamb.
5. Place the lamb in the centre of the BBQ, and cover again with lid. After approx 6- 8 minutes, turn
the meat over. Again close the lid and cook a further 15 min to achieve medium rare. You may
wish to extend the cooking time for another 5 minutes for medium or continue cooking to your
liking.
6. Serve with your favourite salads and condiments.
