    This sounds lovely and summery but I would want to cook the lamb in the oven - any suggestions

    Nigel Slater grills it on both sides about 5-6 minutes so it's charred on the outside but pink inside and leaves it to rest 5 minutes. You might get the same effect if you did this as if you barbecued it. Not sure about the oven, though! If you said 15 minutes a pound that should do it.

    Made this on the weekend. Admittedly used a bit of poetic licence - just using a morrocan spice mix stirred into yoghurt rather than adding all the individual spices. It was lovely. Served sliced and sprinled with tomatoes, onion, coriander and mint as the recipe suggests. Also served with mini toasted pitta breads and some yoghurt mixed with mint which was lovely. It was gorgeous and hoovered up by my guests within minutes!
