Marinade:

Place the lamb in a baking tray. Combine all marinade ingredients and rub all over the meat. Cover and refrigerate overnight or stand at 2-3 hours at room temperature.

Bring the lamb to room temperature, if refrigerated. Preheat the oven to 350 (180°C). Remove the lamb from the marinade and sprinkle with salt. Cook the meat until rare, remove from the oven and allow a few minutes before carving.

Sprinkle with a little chopped mint before serving.
