Get this recipe and many more on my website:
Serves 6:
2 and ½ pounds boneless leg or shoulder of lamb, 4 pounds bone in
2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2 bell peppers, diced
1 red onion, cut into chunks
Handful cherry tomatoes
6 ounces kefalotyri or feta, cubed
¼ cup water
1 sprig rosemary
The Spices:
2 tablespoons dried oregano
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
½ - 1 teaspoon cumin powder (or ground cinnamon)
The Marinade:
1/3 cup olive oil
¼ cup (or more) fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, grated
Preheat the oven to 375 °F, 190 °C.
Criss-cross 2 (full sheet) pieces of parchment paper into a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
If you cannot find very large sheets of parchment, just use 4-5 half-sheet pieces and overlap them.
Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together.
Place the potatoes on the parchment paper to create a bed at the bottom of the pan.
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the marinade over the potatoes. Season them with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Add the diced peppers and onion to the pan.
Place the meat in a pan or a bowl (if it is cut into chunks) and pour the marinade over it. Season with the spice and salt. I usually use ¾-1 teaspoon salt per pound of meat.
Rub the marinade and spices all over the meat and place the meat over the potatoes, in the pan. Add the whole garlic cloves to the pan.
Fold the parchment paper over the meat to create a package. Secure it with 3-4 pieces of kitchen twine. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and roast for 3 hours or until the meat is very soft.
Increase the oven’s temperature to 475 °F, 250 °C.
Remove the foil and butcher’s twine from the pan and parchment package.
Uncover the top layer of parchment and tuck it into the sides of the pan.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the tomatoes and season the lightly with some salt and dried oregano. Sprinkle the tomatoes into the pan along with the feta cubes.
Roast uncovered 15-20 minutes or until the meat browns a little.
Serve with a salad and toasted bread. Enjoy!
Note: Use leftover meat to make delicious sandwiches. Stuff the meat into pita pockets along with lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, cucumber and tomato along with tzatziki sauce and enjoy!

Greek Style Roast Leg of Lamb (Perfect for your Easter Table!!)
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.
