Printable Recipe:
Ingredients
1 leg of lamb, bone-in, about 7-8 pounds
10 or more garlic cloves, cut into slivers
2 onions, quartered
salt (about a half teaspoon per pound)
freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 cup of water
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons dried crushed oregano,
Instructions
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!
Notes
Marinate the meat and insert the garlic cloves the day before serving. Keep it refrigerated and allow the meat to come to room temperature before roasting.

Delicious Greek Roasted Lamb on a Spit! | Detailed step by step video
In 2018 we drove from the US to Ontario to spend time with family and experience the Greek Tradition of roasting a whole lamb on a spit. In this video, watch Mike, My Uncle's Father in Law prepare the lamb for roasting and learn the the art of securing it to a souvla. It is a very detailed task that requires specials skills and a whole lot of patience. Once secured and seasoned it is roasted for over 3 and a half hours until juicy, delicious and tender. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the result at the end. Don't judge! :-)
We enjoyed and appreciated the once in a lifetime experience!
Note: The roast lamb at Easter for the Greeks is symbolic of Christ as the sacrificial
Lamb.
Article mentioned on the video—please read for religious references since I am not familiar with the actual facts and history behind this Greek tradition:
There are also other resources on the internet. The intention here is not to offend anyone but to share a great Greek tradition that is rooted in religious history and strengthens the family bond.
