Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Rub olive oil all over the lamb and then season with salt and pepper. Top with thyme and drizzle lemon juice over, then cover tightly with a lid. Roast for 20 minutes per 500g for rare-cooked meat, 30 minutes for medium-cooked meat and 40 minutes for well-done meat. Remove and place on a hot grid over warm coals to crisp. Place the lemon peel on top, then remove the lamb from the grill and allow it to rest for 20 minutes before carving. Decant the fat from the pan juices, keeping the reserved juice warm to serve on the side.
