That does look good. I don't have the patience to clean the bones!!!

Here's my recipe (IMO the second best lamb recipe in the world!!!):


Bone a Leg of Lamb, stab it all over with fork.

Whizz together the following in a blender: 1 cup plain Yogurt, Grated zest of and juice of 2 Lemons, Handful of fresh mint, a few spring onions (scallions) or 1/2 onion or a few shallots, 1/2 bulb garlic crushed, 1-2tbls Olive oil, 2 tbls fresh or dried tyme, 2 tbls ground black pepper, 1 tbls ground cumin, 1 tbls ground sea salt.

Smear all over Lamb. Pop in plastic bag and pop into fridge overnight. Give it a good squeeze every now and then to squish it all about.

Next day prepare grill for indirect cooking - Medium heat. Scrape marinade off lamb and pat dry. Put it over coals for a few mins each side to get those crispy bits going. Throw a handfull or two of wood (I use cherry) onto coals and remove lamb from over coals (indirect heat) and pop lid on kettle. Cook until done normally 45mins. It should be pink inside!

Eat with Pitta pockets (or white bread) with fresh mint chopped into yoghurt or BBQ sauce n yoghurt with green salad stuff, slaw etc etc
