Greek Lemony Lamb

The combination of lemon and rosemary makes this typically wintery red meat taste more like summer. Easy to make and relatively hands off – serve warm or at room temperature with a side of Greek Salad and you’re all set for your next family meal or gathering!

    – Using a sharp knife, cut small grooves into the lamb, placing a garlic slice in each one. Season the lamb generously with salt and pepper

    – Mix the dried rosemary, thyme, oregano, cinnamon, spice mix, garlic powder, salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl until well combined. Rub generously all over the lamb and place in an oven friendly dish.

    – Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, olive oil, rosemary, thyme and lemon juice. Place the potatoes all around the lamb. Cover and seal tightly with foil.

    – Roast in a 180°C pre-heated oven for 1 hour, then uncover and roast for a further 1 hour.

    – Add some hot water to the base of the dish if the dish seems to be drying out.

    – Let the meat rest for 15 – 20 minutes, then transfer to a platter, along with the potatoes and serve with Greek Salad.
