Butterflied Leg of Lamb with Pomegranate Salsa

Method

  1. Bring the lamb to room temperature, splay it open and flatten evenly, scoring any thicker areas.
  2. Combine the remaining ingredients into a marinade, season well, and rub all over the lamb. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge.
  3. Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan), Gas Mark 7, and line a baking tray.
  4. Sear the lamb skin-side down in a hot pan until well browned all over, about 10 minutes.
  5. Transfer to the tray and roast for 15–20 minutes, longer if you prefer it medium or well done.
  6. Meanwhile, combine all the salsa ingredients and stir well.
  7. Rest the lamb, covered, for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the salsa.
