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.

My Yaya gasped, when you put red pepper 🌶 😫 Happy Easter, God bless 🙌🏻
I love to taste this dish on my vacation to Greece this coming June.
I got a clearance lamb leg section (for $16.50! )... boned it... stuffed it with sautéed spinach, breadcrumbs, garlic and feta (+ olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, etc)... rolled and tied it ...(more olive oil /garlic mix over top) and used your tip for using the quartered red onion, fresh rosemary and water to add even more flavor. It is in the oven now... and smells SO wonderful~ Thank you for the upload ~
Wow, you're bold to post on someone else's post.
@@ChristinaJenkins-pk3ty It's called sharing what you know to help others prepare their food. Greed isn't welcome here.
I will be making this Easter Sunday 🌈🙏
Yay!! I'd love to hear how it turns out and if you're on Facebook or Instagram, share pics with me :)
Γεια σου Δήμητρα χρόνια πολλά καλή Ανάσταση και ωραίο Πάσχα σε σένα και την οικογένεια σου. ❤❤
My family loves your recipes, Dimitra! Hope you had lovely Easter. Blessings from Vietnam 🌈🙏🏽
I am a big lover of lamb meat, it is the best ever recipe I ever saw, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH....😊for sharing this, may God bless you for ever. Amen
The thing I love about leg of lamb is that you can just throw it in the oven, turn it once and it comes out just delicious with virtually no effort! And yours look fantastic, by the way!
Efharisto Dimitra, as always you make me so hungry with your fantastic dishes. This brings me right back to a small family restaurant, (I always choose small family restaurants before bigger ones if I can), on Santorini years ago where I for the first time in my life tasted lamb leg made like this. It was so good that I just had to ask for the recipe from the waiter but he was very busy so I thought he had forgotten about it or had no time or no interest telling a sun burned tourist how it was cooked. But, then 15 minutes later the owner himself came out and proudly had written down the recipe on a piece of paper to me and it was just like your recipe Dimitra. I have been so many times to Greece, or Hellas as we say in Norway, and I am really aching for the world to stop spinning in reverse so I can go there again. I have become a grecophile and it is just the best country to visit with the nicest people and the best food in the world.
Poopœp
I too have been fortunate.Every Greek I've ever known has been a gift to me.
Hroniapollla Dimitrulla, Christos Anesti Thank you for all that you do 🙏🤗
Respect from Romania 🇷🇴 Love Greece 🇬🇷 culture and food.
I made this last Easter and I'm back again to refresh and make again this Easter weekend. Thanks so much!
Had lamb shank at a Greek resturaunt in Toronto the other weekend was absolutely delicious. I don't usually eat lamb but will reconsider now.
We can tell... you are a genuine sweetheart. I tried your recipe. Mine was a smaller piece, so it was done in under three hours. Thanks again.
Greek Easter guys is on May 2.. Not now.. lol
By the way great video and the lamb looks amazing..
Absolutely sensational. Just cooked this for Easter Sunday lunch. So juicy and tender. 2.5kg leg of lamb cooked for 4 hours with rutabaga, radishes, fennel, onions, carrots, heaps of garlic. The lemon flavour was strong and good but may reduce the amount of lemon next time. This really is a fantastic dish - Thank You. 😋
Thanks Dimitra. Mom just handed me one and said cook it for her 80th birthday. This is the method I was looking for. I've never been satisfied when others would, even restaurants did it rare as they never got it right. I felt uncomfortable asking a Greek friend who does it similar for his chief, caterer, professional secrets. Your method so straight forward and well explained. Looks so good to, I can taste it. Thanks so much. Efharisto.
You're welcome!! Let me know how it turns out :)
@@DimitrasDishes I did it. I did it. I did it. Thanks so much. It's always great to make mom happy for her birthday.
Thank you for sharing. The recipe is fantastic, I made it last night and it was delicious! Definitely the lemon and garlic was right on and the rest of the seasoning including the salt was perfect!
Food is the best way to connect and have a true cultural experience and we are loving it .Love from Treonic
Looks amazing! Wonderful Easter dinner,my dad always made spinach and rice to go with the Lamb. Thank you for this recipe! 😋
Bella Dimitra, I made a similar dish for the first time this Easter. Also learning from my grandparents-try placing everything into one roasting pan (potatoes on the bottom). You will be amazed with what transformation those ‘taters go through-becoming infused with all the delicious drippings. Pulling the meat, tenting aside and placing the ‘taters back in the oven at 450° for 20+- minutes, yields infused and roasted ‘taters as a magical side dish.
With other roasts I have done in this manner, some comment the ‘taters are their favorite. Thank you for your contribution ❤
I love the way you are explaining yourself.
Looks delicious! Love the addition of lemon juice to cut the gaminess!
Just followed this video while preparing a leg of lamb from our own icelandic we recently butchered. Turned out amazing! So much flavor. Thank you.
Hello from Australia Dimitra !! Just the way we cook this at Easter. Yours looks amazing and I’m sure very delicious! Thank you for sharing this incredible recipe!! Yum 💜💚❤️

OMG, how I love Greek style leg of lamb. I love your show and made several of your recipes and they all came perfect. Happy Easter. I will be making the lamb and lemony potatoes for Easter.
Χριστός Ανέστη!! Υγεία, ειρήνη και αγάπη σε όλον τον κόσμο!! 🥰💞🙏🐤🐣🐇🐥🐞🐰❤
Thank you very much for a wonderful recipe. I've cooked for my husband today and he loves it and he also said "it's the best dish of lamb."
I made this today like you said and it was amazing. Unbelievable. Thank you so much.
Lemon juice- Brilliant! I'd never thought of that before.
THANK YOU Dimitra
There is no way to lose weight with this recipe......it is just too good. Tender and juicy with very good flavor.
Thank you from Mexico 🌺
Thanx Dimitra. Making this on Easter Sunday 2022. Love lamb and the combination of the other flavors. Yum E !!!!!
Happy Easter🙏
I Love Your Show!💗
i made this dish yesterday for family
easter feast. Huge success ! everyone loved it. a 10 lb leg that served 10 adults. I did exactly 350F for 3.5 hours, covering with foil in oven made the difference !! thank you !!! Happy Easter
Happy Easter 2023 everyone
Been making your recipe few times now, forgot to comment to let you know how much I love it!
Will try this recipe later this week. I’m used to the rack, but I’ll do the leg later.
Thanks for the recipe!!!
Happy Easter. Best i've seen "for me" thank you i will be following your recipe.
Good work
So nice and perfect job from cuisine Greek
Congratulations
Boy looks very delicious. I will definitely try 💯👍👍
I made that for Easter Sunday, today
Easter 2022. The leg of lamb that l ordered from the local butcher and cooked to your directions was absolutely fantastic. It was out if this worrld. So tender and juicy. My company enjoyed it very much. Thank you for this great and easy recipe. I am sure l will cook it again for more special occasions.
Demetra, thank you so much, what a fabulous idea of using the parchment paper over the lamb and then the foil over the parchment paper. I always hate when the foil "rusts" or sticks to the meat. Kali Anastasi 💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏
Easy , simple and straight to the point . I will make lamb leg for thanksgiving. I did not do it well during valentine . But your video helped a lot , thank you so much
Thank you answered a lot many questions
It seems to be a great preparation. Will definitely give it a try.
Lots of LOVE from India 🇮🇳
Happy Easter.. Today is Easter Sunday in Cyprus but in lockdown again. Will definitely make this when we can see our family again.
Good video. I like to use the rosemary stalks like toothpicks stabbing them through the garlic cloves and forcing the rosemary and garlic into the lamb. Best of both worlds!. Kali mera from Rio de Janeiro.
Wow it seems very delicious 🤤
I have subscribed to the beautiful and wonderful channel. I present to you with all what you can bear the meaning of words, respect, appreciation, sincere thanks, appreciation and respect 💓

Καλό Πάσχα! Βuona pasqua.... 🤩
Fantastic and easy to do and understanding 👍❤️
so yummy
Oh my god its so delicous
Such a wonderful dish ❤️ Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure 😊
Sounds great, I've never used lemon juice with my roast lamb before, I have a large lemon tree right outside my kitchen window + it's dripping with gorgeous juicy lemons, so I'll definitely use your recipe. All I need is the lamb, garlic, rosemary, red cracked pepper, potatoes, carrots, beans... Umm, you guessed it, I need to hit the butcher's & green grocers 🙆😂 my fridge + pantry is quite low. At least I have chocolate easter eggs though
Us greeks love lemon with our lamb,
Our main marinate for nearly all meats is lots of lemon, garlic, oregano, salt and Greek olive oil.
This is by far the best lamb recipe 😋 evahhh you are amazing thanks for sharing xoxo 😘
Made this today for Christmas was awesome the only thing I did different was I substituted chicken broth for the water
Thank you so much. Happy Easter.
You are so welcome!
Very nice .
I initially saw ur five year old video first, looked delicious, now I’m watching this higher quality video, even more delicious
Happy Easter!
Great recipe
Thank you! You too!

Hi Luv... This is the way my Mon used to dout...but, with a little difference...In the lamb she would cut into the leg or meat and put in pieces of garlic all over the lamb. And also stuff it with bacon in different areas...Wow...Wee... This tasted like heaven... Mom used call this mock-venison... ThankU...It brought back much fond memories. Hahaha....
