Turn the oven up to 200°C

To cook the lamb, heat the chargrill pan until almost smoking. Place the lamb onto the grill skin-side down for 8-10 minutes, turn over and cook on the other side for a further 5 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a roasting tin, skin-side down, and roast at the top of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked to your liking. These timings should give you lamb that is still nicely pink in the middle.

Allow the lamb to rest for 10 minutes before carving into thick slices and serving with the grilled red onions and a side salad of shaved fennel or fresh green leaves dressed with lemon juice and olive oil.
