Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the barbecue. Put the lamb in a bowl, season liberally with salt and pepper, then pour over half the lemon juice. Stir well and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, peel and halve the cucumber and remove the seeds with a teaspoon. Roughly dice the cucumber and mix it with the remaining lemon juice and half the yogurt. Set aside.

  • step 3

    Pour the remaining yogurt over the lamb and mix well. Lay the lamb on the barbecue grid and cook for 5 minutes - the underneath should look quite dark as the yogurt cooks. Turn the lamb over and cook for a further 5 minutes, then place on a board and leave to rest while you heat the naan on the barbecue. Slice the lamb into pencil-thick strips, then cut the naan in half. Spoon in the cucumber sauce and top with the lamb and its juices.

RECIPE TIPS
TO COOK INDOORS

Heat a griddle pan until very hot, then lay the lamb in the pan and press hard with a fish slice or spatula. Cook for 10 minutes, turning once. Heat the naan in the pan for 30-60 seconds on each side.
