ROAST LEG OF LAMB - MEDITERRANEAN STYLE
This is my own variation (Greek/Spanish) of a roasted leg of lamb (shoulder is also fine). Someone said the easiest lamb is always best. I have cooked it many times as a Christmas dinner.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of lamb: A leg of lamb or a shoulder roast are both good choices for this recipe.
- Marinate the lamb: Marinating the lamb overnight in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, oregano, and rosemary will help to tenderize it and give it flavor.
- Roast the lamb at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the lamb while keeping the inside moist.
- Let the lamb rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the lamb with a variety of sides: Roasted vegetables, rice, or pasta are all good choices.

Mediterranean roast lamb is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lamb is tender and flavorful, and the marinade gives it a wonderful Mediterranean flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean.
