Notes

When grilling the courgettes and figs, avoid overcrowding the grill. This allows them to char properly rather than steam, giving them that delicious smoky flavour and appealing texture.
It's crucial to allow the lamb to rest after cooking. This enables the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a more tender and flavourful result.
To ensure your lamb cooks evenly and remains juicy, avoid opening the oven door too frequently while it's roasting. This helps maintain a consistent temperature.
