Steps:
- Mix the butter and oil in a bowl, then stir in the spices, thyme, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Add the harissa, 1 tsp salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper, and mix well.
- Put the butterflied lamb (see step-by-step guide) in a large shallow dish and spoon over the marinade. Using your hands, rub it all over the meat. Cover loosely with foil or cling film and leave to marinate for at least 2 hrs, or overnight in the fridge.
- Light the barbecue, adding plenty of coals. When it is ready, add the lamb, fat-side down, and cook on a fairly high heat for 5 mins until well browned. Turn over and cook for another 5 mins to brown the other side.
- Move the coals to the sides of the barbecue to reduce the heat under the meat and cook more gently for 30-40 mins, turning occasionally. This timing will give you pink meat.
- Remove the meat to a large board and cover tightly with foil. Leave to rest for 10-15 mins.
- For the sauce, fold the harissa, a little salt and the coriander into the yogurt. Cut the lamb into thick slices and serve with the sauce and couscous, if you like.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place lamb in a large shallow dish with marinade, and turn to coat. Cover; marinate 1 hour at room temperature or up to overnight in refrigerator, turning occasionally. (Bring to room temperature before grilling.)
- Heat grill to medium-high. Thread several metal skewers through lamb in both directions to hold meat together during cooking.
- Grill lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 140 degrees for medium rare, 10 to 15 minutes per side. Let the meat rest, covered, about 10 minutes. Remove the skewers. Slice the meat thinly, against the grain where possible.

Steps:
- Start by butterflying the lamb. Using a sharp knife cut close to the bone to remove it. Cut away any sinews. With the fat side on the chopping board, unravel the lamb by making incisions where the meat is thick to ease it out into a flat piece with an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Juice the lemon, but keep the squeezed fruit. Put all the marinade ingredients and lemon juice into a food processor and blitz until you have a green sauce. Coat the lamb with the sauce and marinate in the fridge overnight.
- The next day, remove the meat from the fridge and bring to room temperature. Heat the oven to 200C/Gas 6. Put the veg and couscous into the base of a roasting tray.
- Measure 500ml of cold water. Pour enough into the tray so that it starts to appear through the couscous. Reserve the rest to add later. In the centre, put the juiced lemons and sit the meat on top. Drizzle over any marinade and season the lamb with sea salt. Cover the roasting dish with foil. Bake in the oven for 50 mins.
- Remove the foil (but keep it) and add the remaining water. Cook for a further 25-30 mins for medium lamb (the cooking time will depend on the thickness).
- Once out of the oven, cover with the foil again and rest for 20 mins. Remove the lamb and carve it. Use a fork to fluff the couscous up and season to taste. If it's looking dry, mix through a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB MARINATED IN YOGURT AND MINT
Steps:
- Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, scallions, minced garlic, mint, thyme, lemon zest, pepper, and salt in a large bowl and stir to mix. Rub the garlic clove over both sides of the lamb and put the lamb in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Pour the marinade over the meat and turn it several times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. About 30 minutes before grilling, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill arranging the coals for indirect cooking. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray. The coals should be hot. Lift the lamb from the marinade, scrape off the excess marinade, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Discard the marinade. Combine the oil and crushed garlic in a small bowl for brushing on the meat.
- Sear the lamb over the hot coals for about 5 minutes on each side, brushing with the olive oil and garlic mixture several times; continue brushing the lamb with the remaining olive oil and garlic mixture during the first 20 minutes of grilling. Move the lamb to the cooler part of the grill, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes. Turn the meat over, cover, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer for medium-rare meat, or until cooked to desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat should register 140 degrees for rare meat and 145 to 150 degrees for medium-rare. Let the lamb rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- If you plan to smoke the lamb, use the whole leg. For grilling use a boned leg, butterflied.
- Trim excess fat from lamb. Using a small knife, make narrow slits to a depth of about 1 inch in the meat and insert the slivers of garlic. Put lamb in a dish.
- Combine the remaining ingredients, pour over lamb and marinate it in the refrigerator 10 to 12 hours. Use the smaller amount of salt in the marinade if lamb is going to be grilled. The larger amount, 3 teaspoons, is necessary for smoking.
- Remove lamb from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature. Remove from the marinade. To smoke the lamb, cook in a smoking pit using mesquite at 240 degrees for about 2 1/2 hours. The butterflied lamb can be grilled over hot coals to the desired degree of doneness, about 30 minutes for medium rare.

BARBECUED BUTTERFLIED LEG OF LAMB WITH A MINTED COUSCOUS SALAD
This recipe is from http:www.dariwillfarm.com.au/recipes.html and sounds delicious, they served it with a Minted Couscous Salad. Times are estimated, though have not included 2 hour marinade time and would assume you would make the couscous salad while lamb is cooking.

Steps:
- In a large bowl mix 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil with the black pepper, chilli, fennel seeds and cumin.
- Rub mix all over the butterflied leg of lamb and then cover and leave for at least 2 hours.
- Season lamb with salt.
- Cook lamb on a medium barbecue heat for about 15 minutes on each side.
- Then remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into this slices.
- This will give a medium rare lamb, if you like your lamb more well done leave it on longer until done to your desired taste, personally I would be allowing about 45 minutes all up but we like ours well done.
- Couscous Salad - Bring 1 1/2 cups of salted water to the boil and then add the couscous, return to the boil and mix well.
- Turn off the heat, cover with a lid and leave for 5 minutes.
- After that time, transfer the couscous to a bowl, mix in the 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and allow to cool.
- Add the lemon juice, mint leaves, chopped garlic, diced tomatoes and parsley to the couscous.
- Serve with sliced lamb.
