"You could take it off the bone (butterfly it - cut out the bone and flatten the piece of meat), marinade it (I use olive oil, lots of garlic!.!.!. ) and cook it on the bbq! If you are not bbq-ing then grill it under a hot hot grill for about 8 mins a side, until it is browned, then transfer to a low oven for another 20 mins to allow the juices to settle (the meat should be still pink inside)!."Www@FoodAQ@Com
