Method


  1. Place lamb in a glass bowl and pour over combined oil, oregano, rosemary, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Marinate, covered, in the fridge for 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the Orange, Fennel and Olive salad by combining orange segments, fennel, olives and onions. Set aside.
  3. Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill pan over a medium-high heat. Add lamb (there’s no need to oil the grill, as there is plenty of oil on the lamb) and cook for 3–4 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat and set aside on a board to rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, drizzle salad with oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss lightly. Divide among serving plates; thickly slice the lamb and place over the salad; serve with mint.
