GREEK ROAST LEG OF LAMB
This roast leg of lamb is full of robust Greek flavors. Garlic, lemon, and herbs compliment the lamb so well and the meat is so soft and tender and falling off the bone. Serve it with lemony roasted potatoes and some creamy tzatziki sauce at your next gathering.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °F.Use a sharp knife to cut slits into the leg of lamb. Stick the garlic slivers into the slits. Place the lamb in a large roasting pan. Combine the lemon juice and olive oil together and pour it all over the lamb. Season the lamb on both sides with salt, pepper, and oregano. Add the rosemarry sprigs and the onions to the pan. Pour the water into the pan. Cover the lamb with a sheet of parchment paper and then tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 3-4 hours or until the meat is soft and almost falling off the bone. Remove the foil and parchment and place the pan back into the oven and onto the middle rack. Turn the broiler element on and broil for 5-10 minutes or until the top is golden. Keep a close eye on it so that the lamb does not burn. Serve with roasted lemony potatoes, tzatztki, and Mediterranean Rice pilaf. Enjoy and Kali Orexi!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Pound the garlic, half the oregano, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, then add the lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Stab the lamb all over with a sharp knife, then push as much of the herb paste as you can into the holes.
- Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tin, then toss in the remaining olive oil and any remaining herb paste. Nestle the lamb amongst the potatoes, roast for 20 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Roast for 1 hr 15 mins for medium-rare, adding another 15 mins if you prefer your lamb medium. Baste the lamb once or twice with the juices and toss the potatoes. When the lamb is done to your liking, remove from the tin and let it rest. Throw the rest of the oregano in with the potatoes, scoop from the tin and keep warm.
- Place the roasting tin over a medium flame, add the canned tomatoes and olives to the pan juices, then simmer for a few mins. Serve the lamb with the potatoes and sauce and a simple salad.

Simple but delicious. You may use dried herbs if desired- substitute 1/3 of the amount called for fresh (just make sure the dried herbs are not old).

- Remove bone and fell from lamb, if necessary.
- Piece together and tie with kitchen twine.
- Mix remaining ingredients and pour over lamb, coating it thoroughly (make additional marinade if needed).
- Marinate lamb 6 hours or preferably, overnight.
- Drain marinade and allow lamb to warm (remove a lot of the chill).

- Start checking your meat temp with the instant read thermometer at about 20-25 minutes per pound.
- Allow the roast to rest undisturbed for about 25 minutes before carving.
- Reduce any drippings, if desired, to serve with the lamb.

GREEK ROAST LAMB AND POTATOES
There's nothing like Greek roast lamb and potatoes. In Greece, meat (lamb, beef, chicken) and potatoes in the oven is an ubiquitous dish throughout the winter. Upon my most recent visit to Athens, my aunt let me in on a secret that takes this traditional roast lamb to another level. Instead of the usual lemon juice, she said, add the juice of one orange. I tried this upon my return home and it is absolutely delicious! It may be awhile before I go back to lemons -- and this dish is as delicious as it is simple.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, mustard, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir the potatoes into the bowl to coat with orange juice mixture. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, and place them into a large roasting pan.
- Cut slits into the lamb meat, and stuff the garlic cloves into the slits. Rub remaining orange juice mixture from bowl all over the lamb, and place the lamb on top of the potatoes in the roasting pan. If there's any remaining orange juice mixture, pour it over the lamb.
- Roast in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the lamb is cooked to medium, about 1 hour. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Check every 30 minutes while roasting, and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot water if you find the potatoes are drying out. If the lamb finishes cooking before the potatoes, remove the lamb to a cutting board or serving platter and cover with foil while the potatoes continue to bake in the oven.
