BBQ Leg of Lamb

My family LOVE this recipie, use a leg of lamb that has been butterflied. 

I cook it for 15 mins for each 500g - this gives you a medium to well done roast.   You MUST REST the meat.  Then cut it across the grain and serve with a green salad that has been shoots, cashews and sliced mango added.  Dress the salad with a dressing of orange juice and olive oil
