Roll up each loin tightly. Roll one sheet of nori around the loin. To cook lamb loin: melt butter and oil in a teflon pan. Roll loin around in pan just long enough to cook. Do not cook over too high heat or nori will shrink from the loin. Transfer to a baking dish and bake in a preheated 190C oven for 5-10 mins. Turning 2-3 times until the lamb loin is firm and cooked.
