Tips

1. Lamb shoulder or lamb leg (bone-in) would also work well in this recipe.
2. Any leftover lamb can be used in a pita or wrap with salad for a delicious lunch.
3. Kale slaw kits (which include dressing) are available at most supermarkets or use your choice of pre-made coleslaw.
4. Remove seeds from chilli for less heat, if desired.
