Ingredients
| 1 | Leg of lamb, butterflied (Main) |
| 1 tsp | Salt and pepper |
| 2 Tbsp | Olive oil |
| 1 Tbsp | Chermoula spice |
| 2 | Onions, sliced |
| 4 cloves | Garlic, sliced |
| 200 g | Green beans, blanched (Main) |

Directions
- Preheat a barbecue to a medium heat.
- Smother the lamb with oil and chermoula and season well. Cook on the barbecue for around 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until still a little pink in the middle. Remove and allow to rest.
- On a hotplate, cook the onions and garlic slowly until completely softened and lightly browned. Set aside.
