Get your butcher to “butterfly” a leg of lamb.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large bunch mint, roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch of coriander, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 250 grams natural yoghurt
  • 400 grams canned chickpeas
  • sea salt and ground black pepper
  • juice of 1 lemon

Method:

Bash up the coriander and mint and mix with the yoghurt, garlic, 200 grams chick peas and seasoning. Keep half of this to use as a sauce with the meal later on.

Score the lamb skin and rub well with the marinade mix. Transfer the lot into a large Ziploc bag (or similar) and refrigerate until required. Leave as long as possible to allow flavours to permeate.

Prepare a tray of roasting vegetables, such as baby potatoes, carrots, quartered red Spanish onions, butternut squash etc to suit your taste.

In a new Heat Beads® drip tray, combine the veges with some ground cumin, a dash of nutmeg, the remaining 200 grams of chickpeas, 250 grams natural yoghurt, season with sea salt and cracked pepper and a good drizzle of olive oil.

Put the drip tray under the main Weber rack and place the marinated lamb on top. Should cook perfectly well in about 1 – 1½ hrs depending on your preference. Use the balance of the marinade with a little Gravox to make a delicious sauce.
