Steps

  • Sear the oiled aubergine slices in a hot griddle pan until marked on both sides.
  • Blend the olive, zest, sage, garlic, anchovy, pepper, and oil into a paste.
  • Spread the paste inside the lamb, layer with aubergines, roll, and tie with string.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Rub the meat with oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Sear the meat in a hot pan then roast for 30 minutes per kg plus 15 minutes.
  • Cover with foil for the first 30 minutes of roasting to retain moisture.
  • Rest the meat for one third of the total cooking time before carving.
  • Combine the grated cucumber, yoghurt, lime zest, garlic, onions, and chilli to make tzatziki.
  • Chill the tzatziki for one hour and garnish with dill before serving.
