Method

  1. Slash the thicker bits of lamb if needed so the marinade can penetrate. Put the lamb skin-side down in a shallow dish. Mix all the other ingredients with lots of seasoning then pour over the lamb and rub in well. Leave to marinate for an hour (or overnight if you have time).
  2. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the lamb skin-side down on a rack over a baking tray. Roast for 40 minutes for pink lamb. Rest for 20 minutes before carving.

    This is a super marinade. Love the taste of fennel. We cooked it on the barbie. It was really good

    This recipe is much improved if you mix all the marinade ingredients plus chopped into a small pot of natural yogurt and then rub the mixture over the lamb before leaving it in a covered dish, in the fridge. You can ring the changes by puttng different spices in the yogurt.
