    Yes you can make this in the oven...its how i've been doing it for several years..but you'd have to include a good splosh of oil and then wrap the whole thing in foil, and bake about 180-200 C till done ,,,maybe an hour or so...and 10 mins towards the end of the cooking , open the foil and turn on the grill, so you get a nice charred effect.
