The beauty of a butterflied lamb leg lies in its simplicity. With the bone removed and the meat flattened, it cooks faster and more evenly than traditional roasts. When my butterflied lamb arrived from Matangi, I was struck by its freshness and precision. It was clear that every detail had been carefully considered.

My Go-To Recipe: Mediterranean-Inspired Grilled Lamb

I love how versatile this cut is, but my favorite way to prepare it is with a Mediterranean-inspired marinade. Olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon zest, fresh oregano, and a touch of honey come together to create a flavor profile that perfectly complements the lamb.

After marinating for a few hours, I grilled the lamb over medium-high heat. The even thickness of the butterflied cut ensured it cooked quickly—just 12 minutes per side—achieving a perfect char on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside.

A Meal to Remember

I served the lamb thinly sliced with a side of Greek salad, warm pita bread, and a dollop of tzatziki. The flavors were fresh and vibrant, and the lamb was the star of the plate. My family devoured it, and even my guests couldn’t believe how quickly it had come together.

Why It’s a Must-Have

Matangi’s butterflied lamb leg combines convenience with exceptional quality. It’s perfect for everything from weeknight dinners to summer barbecues, and it never fails to impress.
