From Australian Diabetic Living. What I like about this recipe is that it is a complete meal. Times are estimated but DO NOT include 2 hours of marinating time. I have put butterflied leg lamb in the ingredients, we recipe stipulates easy carve leg of lamb (which still has the shank bone in and the steps reflect removing that, so you could use a butterflied leg of lamb. This can also be made gluten free. Ingredients:
1 1/2 kg butterflied leg of lamb |
3 tablespoons oregano (fresh chopped) |
3 garlic cloves (thinly sliced) |
2 red chilies (small finely chopped) |
3 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh) |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
6 dinner rolls (small wholegrain or small baquette or gluten free bread to serve) |
1 corn on the cob (husk and silk removed) |
120 g salad leaves (mixed 8 cups) |
2 carrots (cut into thin rounds) |
30 g walnuts (1/4 cup roughly chopped) |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh) |
2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard (or gluten-free wholegrain mustard) |
black pepper (to taste freshly ground) |
20 g parmesan cheese (shavings) |

1. Using a sharp knife, slice lamb through centre, taking care not to cut all the way through.
2. Remove and discard bone and then cut off any remaining fat and discard (or just buy boneless).
