  • Ingredients

Steps

  • Preheat BBQ to a high heat
  • To make the marinade combine oregano, garlic, ¾ cup of olive oil, 1 tbs of thepaprika, lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  • Add 150mL of the marinade to the leg of lamb. Massage marinade into the meat and season generously with salt.
  • Remove the thick outer leaves of the cauliflower and trim the stem until you can sit the cauliflower upright on a chopping board. Use a large knife to cut the cauliflower into 4 thick steaks. Reserve the little florets that fall away, as well as the soft, sweet inner leaves. These will also BBQ beautifully.
  • Add the rest of the marinade to the cauliflower steaks, florets and leaves.
  • Cook lamb on preheated BBQ for 15-20 minutes for medium doneness, or to your liking. Set aside to rest.
  • Cook the cauliflower for 5 minutes on each side until soft and caramelised.
  • Meanwhile make the sauce by combining cucumber, yoghurt, 2 tbsp olive oil,shredded mint leaves and the remaining paprika.
  • To serve thinly slice two thirds of the lamb, dressing it in the cooking juices. Reserve the remaining third of lamb for tomorrow night’s dinner.
  • On a board plate the cauliflower and lamb, drizzle with yoghurt and mint leaves.
