Fire up the oven to cook this delicious spiced leg of lamb, roughly 2kg in weight, that's more than enough to feed a family of eight.

Ingredients

1 whole lamb leg, bone in (approx. 2kg)

2 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp fennel seeds

1 tsp dried thyme leaves

1 tsp ground coriander seeds

Sea salt flakes and freshly-ground black pepper

1 cup extra virgin olive oil

12 fresh bay leaves

2 bunches kale

2 cups mixed baby tomatoes, halved

2 x 180g packets haloumi, sliced

Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Use a small sharp knife to cut rings around the lamb leg, 3cm apart. Combine the spices in a mortar and pound well, then season with salt and pepper. Mix in half the olive oil and rub onto the lamb. Place the bay leaves into the incisions.

  2. Grill over a low-moderate heat for 20 minutes, turning several times, until lightly browned, then transfer to a rack over a roasting pan and cook with the BBQ hood down for 1 hour.

  3. Allow the lamb to rest. Meanwhile, toss the kale in the remaining olive oil and grill lightly, then grill the haloumi as well. Mix with the tomatoes and arrange on a platter, then put the lamb on top. Serve with lemon wedges.
