Spatchcooked Lamb with Anchovy and Herb Paste
Make
1. Put the anchovy and herb paste ingredients into a blender and blend to a paste.
2. Place the boned lamb joint in a large shallow dish and make several slits into the joint. Lay flat and spread with the paste. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours for the flavours to develop.
3. Insert 2 long metal or wooden skewers, criss-crossing through the meat.
4. Place directly on the shelf in a preheated oven (place a tray underneath to catch the drips) for about 50-60 minutes, turning frequently.
5. Alternatively, place on a prepared barbecue not too close to the coals for about 55-60 minutes.
EatServe with a lemon and chive potato salad.Tip: Use a rolled lamb shoulder joint as an alternative. If using wooden skewers, soak in cold water for 20-30 minutes.
