Imagine a delightful summer evening, the scent of marinated pork dancing through the air as you prepare your barbecue skewers.

Ingredients:
- 1.5 kg leg of lamb, bone-in
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cook for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred level of doneness. Check halfway through cooking; if the lamb is browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with foil.
- Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the lamb from the air fryer and cover it with foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is tender and flavourful.
