Method
Step 1 of 3
Trim the lamb of any fat. Mix together the olive oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, and chilli flakes in a large bowl, and season with salt and black pepper. Add the lamb, massaging the marinade into the meat. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Step 2 of 3
Heat the barbecue or charcoal grill until hot. Grill the lamb over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking. Remove to a plate, cover with foil, and leave to rest in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Step 3 of 3
To make the salad, put all the ingredients in a bowl, season with salt and black pepper, and toss gently. When ready to serve, slice the lamb diagonally, and arrange on a serving platter. Scatter with the parsley leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and serve accompanied by the salad.
