Greek Lamb
- 1 lamb leg, boned out
- 4 glasses white wine (drink the rest...)
- 2 to 3 lemons, juice of
- Good virgin olive oil
- 1 dash dried oregano
- Garlic, chopped (optional)
- The day before: Put the lamb in a deep baking dish.
- Pour over the wine and lemon juice and a good splurge of olive oil.
- No precise measurements here at all.
- It all goes into the main dish.
- Sprinkle on the oregano.
- You can sprinkle over chopped garlic too, if you wish.
- Cover with foil and leave overnight in the fridge.
- Turn over once or twice.
- Next day (start early): Leave the foil on, making sure that its quite well sealed.
- Put in the oven at 240C/475F/Gas 9 for 15 minutes then turn down to 150C/300F/Gas2.
- After about 4 hours check it and turn the heat up to 190C/375F/Gas 5/375F/Gas 5 to cook it through.
- About half an hour before its done take the foil off and pour off all the juices ( use them to make a sauce to mop up with bread).
- Pop the lamb back in the oven to brown.
- Turn the heat to about 220C/425F/Gas 7 so the edges start to char a little.
- Brush with olive oil and lemon as you take it out of the oven.
- You can sprinkle it with chopped fresh coriander at this point if you like.
- Cut it into chunks and then serve with roast potatoes and a HUGE salad.
