With all the horrible things going on in our world right now your video actually made me feel some of the joy of the season. Thank you Dimitra and Happy Easter!
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 ~
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!
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. 😋
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!
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.
Wow thanks. I have a leg in the freezer. This will be tomorrow's meal for football the kids coming over will love this. I will also make s Greek salad. Thanks again.
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.
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 💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏
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
I am late to the party but was looking for a Lamb recipe and voila! Cooked my lamb roast in the instant pot w your recommendation and came out delicious! Never used lemon before, Thank you!
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....
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.
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 💜💚❤️
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.
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 ❤
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
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.
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 💓
First time Am seeing your video. You are Awesome.... Presentations are simple... No hanky panky talks.... Great dish.. Tastes super but not greater than your Awesome smile.. 😍... Good... Keep doing more.....
Thanks for sharing your recipe. Your step by step instructions was superb. Anything Greek reminds me of the movie " Zorba The Greek ". It was a masterclass movie. 👍🇮🇳
Wow and I mean WOW!!! I followed the recipe and I was stunned! The lamb fell off the bone and I pullet it apart using two forks. This is the exact lamb version of pulled pork. It looks exactly like pulled pork but it's pulled lamb. The gamey taste of lamb is completely absent and it's actually a little sweet. Just a thought but strict Jewish people and people of the Muslim faith can now enjoy a super close equivalent to pulled pork without violating any dietary restrictions.
With all the horrible things going on in our world right now your video actually made me feel some of the joy of the season. Thank you Dimitra and Happy Easter!
I'm so glad! This warms my heart :)
Weirdo
@@bangersnmash2589 You tell anyone and I'll sue. D'ya hear me? I'll SUE!!!

@@ChristinaJenkins-pk3ty It's called sharing what you know to help others prepare their food. Greed isn't welcome here.
Adding some pieces of butter would make it awesome.
Hroniapollla Dimitrulla, Christos Anesti Thank you for all that you do 🙏🤗
I made this last Easter and I'm back again to refresh and make again this Easter weekend. Thanks so much!
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!
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.
My family loves your recipes, Dimitra! Hope you had lovely Easter. Blessings from Vietnam 🌈🙏🏽

There is no way to lose weight with this recipe......it is just too good. Tender and juicy with very good flavor.
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
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!
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.

I subscribed, because you are smiling all the time! I love this kind of people! Love from Greece 🇬🇷❤️
Ya sas Dimitra, love watching you make Greek food. Yes im Greek 😄. Greetings from Sydney Australia
Looks delicious! Love the addition of lemon juice to cut the gaminess!
Lemon juice- Brilliant! I'd never thought of that before.
It seems to be a great preparation. Will definitely give it a try.
Lots of LOVE from India 🇮🇳
Looks fantastic. I am going to make the leg of lamb tomorrow and make manestra on the side. Have a great evening. Yasou!
Watching in April 2022 looks so delicious ❤️ I loved when you said you’ll use your clean hand to season with salt ❤️❤️❤️ Thank You!

Bruise the garlic before you cut into slivers. Fill the slits with salt before you insert the slivers.
Can't wait to try this for my Passover Meal.
Good work
So nice and perfect job from cuisine Greek
Congratulations
Wonderful! Thanks from London, UK.

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.
I initially saw ur five year old video first, looked delicious, now I’m watching this higher quality video, even more delicious
Happy Easter🙏
