  1. Heat the oven to 180 °C. Make small cuts in the meat and push in the halved garlic cloves.

  2. Toss the lamb in a small roasting tin with 20 g of the oil, the lemon juice, oregano and salt. Pour the water into the bottom, cover with foil and roast for 40 minutes.

  3. Remove the foil, turn the pieces and roast for 20 minutes more, until browned.

  4. Shred the lettuce, toss with the rocket and the rest of the oil, and serve the lamb with the salad and tzatziki.
