Here is my butterflied leg of lamb recipe, and although it’s never too late in the year to BBQ, I’ve yet to cook Christmas lunch on mine! New Year’s Eve dinners at home, however, have often seen my BBQ fired up. In the eastern end of the Mediterranean, lamb cooked over wood and charcoal is a natural part of life.

The colours and tastes of spring and summer collide in this beautiful, fresh and elegant recipe. Juicy and tender rack of lamb is served with a bright and refreshing salad made with heirloom tomatoes, broad beans, runny honey, and lemon juice.
