Lower the BBQ to lowest setting and repeat rotation for 3 minutes each side.

Let rest 10 minutes before serving on hot plates to keep lamb warm to maximize the flavors.

Notes

Lamb must be served warm to prevent the fat from solidifying so heed the warm platter and plate directions!
The herbs are an integral part of this dish. They add such flavor to the delicious meat, so make sure they are fresh if possible. Whole Spice has the best dried herbs we have found. Make sure to have plenty on hand!
You can substitute Salute Sante! Roasted Garlic oil for the garlic granules if necessary.
