If you’ve never BBQ’d lamb before you are totally missing out on one of my favourite flavours. It works particularly well with the smokeyness the BBQ gives and the addition here of lots of wonderful Asian ingredients really heightens that flavour. Lamb also BBQ’s equally well with a simple studding of rosemary and garlic.
For the lamb:
2kg leg of Irish lamb butterflied
4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1 thumbsized piece of ginger
4 spring onions, finely sliced
2 tbsp of honey
2 tbsp of sunflower oil
3 tbsp of rice wine vinegar
3 tbsp of oyster sauce
5 tbsp of dark soy sauce
3 tsp of sesame oil
For the tangy salad:
1 Chinese cabbage, finely shredded
3 carrots, grated
1 cucumber, finely sliced
3 spring onions, finely sliced
1 tsp of sesame oil
1 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tbsp of fish sauce
1 tbsp of rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp of honey
3 tbsp of sesame seeds, toasted
