Pour the oil onto a hot BBQ plate and place the lamb on. Cover with foil and put the lid down. Leave about 10 mins until nicely browned.

While the lamb is cooking, mix together the second measure of butter with the Moroccan spices. Set aside.

Uncover the lamb and brush all over with the Moroccan butter, check the lamb for the degree of cooking.

Time of cooking will depend on thickness of lamb and heat of BBQ. For medium cooked lamb, cook until 65 deg on a temperature prob. Remove from the BBQ and leave to rest 10-15 mins.
