GARLIC AND HERB LEG OF LAMB WITH POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY
Cooking a melts-in-your-mouth lamb recipe doesn't need to be complicated. This leg of lamb is rubbed with a lemony, garlic-herb-mustard paste before being roasted over a pan of white wine and potatoes. The potatoes soak up all the juices while the lamb gets charred on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. Garnish with fresh rosemary and thyme before serving it as the centerpiece of a dinner you'll get endless compliments on.

Steps:
- 2-3 hours before roasting, prepare the lamb. Use a small, sharp knife to make 15 to 20 incisions, each about 2 inches (5 cm) deep, through the fat cap on top of the meat. Thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic and use your fingers to press the slices into the incisions.
- In a blender, combine the remaining 9 garlic cloves, the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Blend until a paste forms.
- Spread the paste evenly all over the lamb. Let marinate at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the lamb on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and pour the wine into the bottom of the pan. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F (160°C).
- Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in the roasting pan and place the lamb on the rack on top. Roast for 2 hours, tossing the potatoes and basting the lamb with the roasting liquid halfway through.
- Transfer the potatoes to a platter, baste the lamb again with the remaining pan juices, and return the lamb to the oven. Continue to roast, basting often, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the leg reaches 130°F (for medium-rare), 45 minutes to 2 hours more, depending on thickness. (As a general rule, the lamb should roast 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare).
- Transfer the lamb to a platter and set aside to rest for 20 minutes. While the lamb rests, return the potatoes to the roasting pan, season with flaky salt, and warm in the oven until just heated through, about 20 minutes. Return the potatoes to the serving platter.
- Carve the lamb into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices and arrange on the platter with the potatoes, garnished with rosemary and thyme sprigs. Serve with whole grain mustard alongside.
- Enjoy!

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.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cut small pockets into the skin and flesh of the lamb by piercing it with the point of a sharp knife. Stuff each pocket with a slice of garlic, using 3-4 of the cloves, and a few leaves of rosemary. Stuff some more inside the lamb, with some thyme, where the bone has come from. Put in a roasting tin, season well and cover with foil.
- Melt half the butter in a large frying pan. Fry the onions, stirring frequently, until softened and golden. Tip into a second large roasting tin. Cook the chopped mutton or lamb in the pan until brown. Add to the onions in the tin, and toss with the potatoes, carrots, remaining garlic and herbs (chopped), 2 tbsp of the flour and some seasoning.
- Pour the stock into the frying pan, then add the Worcestershire sauce and the remaining butter. When melted and boiling, pour over the potatoes, cover with foil and bake with the lamb for 1 hr.
- Uncover both the lamb and the hotpot, and cook for 45 mins more until the potatoes are golden and cooked all the way through. Allow the lamb to rest for 15 mins before carving. Leave the potatoes in the oven (covered if starting to brown too much) until ready to serve.
- Drain the fat from the lamb's roasting tin, reserving the juices. Put the tin on the heat and stir in the remaining flour. Pour in 450ml boiling water or stock and stir until thickened to a gravy. Cut the hotpot into 8 and lift onto warmed plates. Carve the lamb into thick slices and place on top, then spoon round a little gravy. Serve with the green beans and spinach - add a little grated nutmeg to the spinach, if you like.

GARLIC ROASTED LEG OF LAMB WITH LEMON OREGANO POTATOES
This has been our Easter dinner almost every year since 1993, when I first tried this recipe published in the now defunct Modern Woman magazine. It was contributed by a reader named Helen Pappas, who suggests to readers that they use dried oregano instead of fresh for a more authentic Greek flavour. The potatoes alone are so delicious that I always have to cook extra and even then, I seldom have leftovers!

Steps:
- If the lamb is frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- Bring the meat to room temperature before roasting.
- If the lamb is fatty, trim the thick fat but leave a thin layer.
- Rub 1 tablespoon of oil over the entire surface of the lamb, then sprinkle the whole surface with 2 teaspoons oregano and a generous grinding of pepper.
- Slice 4 garlic cloves into 16 slivers.
- Using the tip of a small knife, make 16 1/2"-deep slits in the lamb and insert the slivers of garlic into the slits.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small measuring cup, whisk together the remaining tablespoon oil, remaining 2 teaspoons oregano, remaining 4 garlic cloves (finely minced), 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, water and lemon juice.
- Peel the potatoes and cut into 1" cubes (no larger or they won't cook thoroughly.).
- While you are working, put the cubed potatoes immediately into cold water to prevent them from turning brown.
- Drain the potatoes and place in a large covered roasting pan.
- Toss with the lemon juice mixture.
- Lightly sprinkle the entire surface of the lamb with salt, then set the lamb on the potatoes, rounded side down.
- Roast the lamb uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Then turn it over, cover, and continue to roast for another 1 to 1-1/2 hours. I like my lamb well done so I go for the longer time.
- Stir the potatoes occasionally and if they stick to the pan, add a couple of tablespoons of water to loosen them.
- Remove the lamb to a cutting board and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
- Keep the potatoes warm in the oven until ready to serve.
