BBQ Lamb with Herbs (click to see original recipe from Chef Adam Perry Lang)
Ingredients
- Leg of lamb, roughly 2.75kg (6lbs)
- 150ml (5fl oz) olive oil
- 2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- Few sprigs each fresh thyme, rosemary and marjoram leaves
- 2 tbsp chili powder (optional)
- (I added soy sauce here!)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp runny honey
- Small bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- (I also added soy sauce here!)
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- Small bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Score the top side of the lamb leg in a criss-cross pattern at 1cm (½in) intervals, 1cm (½in) deep. Mix and crush the herb oil ingredients in a large bowl. Add the meat and leave for at least 3 hours, or up to 24 hours in the fridge.
Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking: food should be away from the heat source and the temperature, if your barbecue has a thermometer, should be a steady medium heat of 150°C-160°C. Put the meat on the well-oiled heated grill and cook, covered, for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, combine the baste ingredients. Baste the meat every 15 minutes, cooking for a further 30 for blushing meat, or until done to your liking.
Combine the dressing on a board. Turn the lamb in it to coat and rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
