INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

For Rare Lamb: Allow the lamb to come to room temperature. Heat your oven
to 400 degrees. Mix the oil, garlic and oregano together and rub the leg
completely with the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper and place on
a baking rack in a pan. Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of
the leg, being careful not to touch the bone. Bake at 400 degrees for 40
minutes so the meat can brown. Turn the oven down to 325 degrees and bake
for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 140
degrees. Remove the meat from the oven and allow it to sit 1/2 hour before
slicing. It will continue to cook during this time. For Medium Lamb: Follow
the above instructions but cook a bit longer so that the thermometer
registers 145 to 150 degrees. Slice thin and serve with some of the pan
juices.
Comments: Nothing can equal the scent of a lamb roasting in the back
streets of a greek village. I have added a bit of olive oil to keep this
roast moist, but you would not have to do this with a whole lamb.
