      Try this juicy butterflied lamb barbeque cooked in a honey, pineapple and chilli marinade. A butterflied leg of lamb is prepared from a boneless leg, by opening the leg and cutting to create a butterfly shape. The increased surface area of this cut makes the meat quicker to cook. Perfect for the barbeque or grill.

      Ingredients

      1 ⅕ kgsPure South Butterflied Lamb Leg (Main)
      1 TbspOlivado Extra Virgin Olive Oil
      1 TbspFish sauce
      4 TbspHoney

      Directions

      1. Place diced pineapple, olive oil, fish sauce, honey, chilli, lime zest and juice in a deep dish and mix to combine. Place butterflied lamb in and season with salt & black pepper. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.
      2. Heat a barbecue over medium-high heat. Drain lamb from marinade and cook lamb for 4-5 minutes each side or until charred. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for a further 15-20 minutes, turning and glazing with remaining marinade, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat, set aside on a plate covered loosely with foil and rest for 10 minutes.
      3. Barbecue the pineapple slices with a drizzle of oil for 2-3 minutes each side or until charred.
      4. Place kale salad mix in a large bowl, add coriander and dressing. Season and toss to coat.
      5. Slice lamb and serve with kale salad, pineapple, rice, extra chilli (optional), lime wedges and coriander sprigs.

      Tip: Lamb shoulder or lamb leg (bone-in) would also work well in this recipe. Any leftover lamb can be used in a pita or wrap with salad for a delicious lunch.
