- Using a sharp knife score the lamb in multiple places.
- Mix all the rub ingredients together and rub into the lamb.
- Leave lamb covered in the fridge for minimum of 1 hour but overnight if possible.
- Heat BBQ or oven to 180c and cook lamb covered gently in foil for 30 mins on indirect heat if using BBQ.
- After 30 mins uncover the lamb and cook for a further 30 mins basting twice during this time.
- Once lamb is cooked to an internal temperature of 54c (for medium rare) remove from the BBQ and recover gently with foil and allow to rest for 10 mins.

Tips/Tricks
- the longer you leave the lamb marinate the more it will absorb the flavours so try rub it a day in advance
- i cook my lamb mr but if you like it cooked more then cook it for a few mins longer. A general rule when cooking lamb is 20-25 mins per 500g for rare and 25-30 mins for medium - medium rare
- don't forget to let your meat rest, one of the most important things when cooking meat
- if cooking on a BBQ then make sure you cook using indirect heat, this means lighting one side of the BBQ and placing meat on the opposite side
