Ingredients:

1 whole lamb leg, boned and butterflied
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 stalks fresh thyme, leaves removed
3 stalks fresh rosemary, leaves remove, roughly chopped

Method:

Pre-heat your barbecue about 2 hours before cooking so the coals develop a nice layer of white ash.

Combine the oil with the herbs, then rub over both sides of the lamb, and then season with salt and freshly-ground black pepper.Push the coals on your barbecue so you hot and moderately hot areas.

Place the lamb on a grill over the moderately-hot area. Cook the first side of the lamb for 15-20 minutes, turn once with tongs and cook for a further 15-20 minutes. Cover lamb loosely with foil and rest it for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
