Direction
- Lamb: Preheat barbecue to medium and cook the butterflied lamb leg, covered, for 25 minutes, turning halfway. Transfer to a clean plate, season, loosely cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice lamb.
- Salad: Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick frypan, over medium heat. Add onions and currants, season and cook for 10-12 minutes or until onions have softened and caramalised. Cook for a further minute, then remove to serving bowl and toss with carrots and kale. Serve with sliced lamb, yoghurt sauce and mint springs.
- Yoghurt sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with half a teaspoon of sea salt flakes. Stir to combine, adding enough warm water to give it a thick creamy consistency.
