- Combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano, in a large dish or zip-top bag. Add lamb and turn to coat well. Set aside to come to room temperature. When ready to cook, drain excess marinade.
- Thread onion wedges and tomatoes onto separate skewers. Brush with a bit of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Preheat a bbq to high. Cook lamb for 15 min – fat side down, then flip and cook a further 10 min, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer lamb to a serving platter, cover with foil and rest 10 min.
- Cook onion and tomato skewers for 5 - 6 min, until tomatoes are blistered and onions are golden. Add lemon halves to bbq, cut-side down, and grill for a minute or two until just charred.
- Toss parsley, cucumber and olives together in a bowl. Warm flatbreads.
- Thinly slice lamb. Serve lamb and resting juices with grilled onion, blistered tomatoes, cucumber salad, pita breads, tzatziki, and lemon.
Tips
- For a stronger flavour, marinate lamb in the refrigerator overnight.
Why not try me in an airfryer?
- Bring butterflied leg of lamb to room temperature, as you would when cooking on a pan or BBQ.
- Preheat airfryer to 180°C for 10 minutes, before adding lamb. This helps with browning and keeps the
inside moist. - Cooking in an airfryer takes roughly the same amount of time as cooking on a pan or BBQ.
- A meat thermometer is the best tool for achieving desired doneness. Rare - 52°C. Medium Rare - 57°C. Medium - 63°C. Medium Well - 66°C.
