Grilled Leg of Lamb with Herb Salt

This grilled leg of lamb with herb salt is a sophisticated yet simple main course that celebrates high-quality British produce. By portioning the lamb along its natural seams, you ensure even cooking and a beautiful char, while the aromatic herb salt deeply seasons the succulent meat. It is a fantastic option for a weekend barbecue or a refined Sunday lunch, offering a savoury depth that pairs perfectly with the punchy, creaminess of anchovy mayonnaise.

As a diabetes-friendly dish, this recipe focuses on lean protein and heart-healthy fats, making it a nutritious choice for those monitoring their blood sugar levels. The absence of sugary marinades or heavy starches ensures the natural flavour of the lamb remains the star of the show. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or roasted Mediterranean vegetables for a balanced and wholesome homemade meal.

Ingredients for Grilled Leg of Lamb with Herb Salt

  • 1.8kg boneless leg of lamb

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons Herb Salt

  • Anchovy Mayonnaise

How to make Grilled Leg of Lamb with Herb Salt

Cutting along seams where lamb leg naturally separates, portion into 4 large pieces, trimming any excess fat and sinew.

Rub lamb with oil and Herb Salt. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour before grilling.

Prepare a grill for high heat. Grill lamb, turning often, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer registers 130°, 20–30 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain and serve with Anchovy Mayonnaise.

Do ahead: Lamb can be seasoned 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
