Ingredients

1	Whole	Leg of lamb	butterflied
3	Clove(s)	Garlic	peeled and crushed
4	Tbsp	Olive Oil
1	Whole	Lemon Juice
1	Tbsp	Sea Salt
2	Tbsp	Dried oregano

Directions

Place the lamb in a baking dish of your barbecue.

Mix the oil, lemon, salt and garlic and spread evenly over both sides of the lamb.

Sprinkle oregano leaves over both sides and barely cover the lamb with cold water.

Place baking paper or foil over the top of the lamb, pushing it into the sides of the dish to keep the moisture in.

Cook through indirect heat, that is with the side burners on but no heat directly under the baking dish for 2 1/2 hours.

Remove from the barbecue and rest in the baking dish, still covered for ten minutes.

Slice the lamb and serve with remaining liquid and roasted vegetables or salad.
