Lamb is marinated in garlic, lemon and oregano, then baked in a slow oven until tender.

Ingredients

Lamb leg roast, raw

960 g, (buy 1.2kg), fat trimmed

Olive oil

1 tbs

Garlic

4 clove(s), crushed

Lemon juice

Dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Place lamb in a large bowl. Combine half the oil, half the garlic and half the juice with the paprika, finely chopped oregano and rind in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over lamb. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 160ºC or 140ºC fan-forced. Place the lamb in a large baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 3 hours. Uncover and bake for 30 minutes.
