This dish is perfect for a Sephardic Passover celebration. Sour oranges are preferred in this dish, but are sometimes hard to find. You can substitute a combination of orange and lemon juice with good results.

Time 9h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 pounds deboned leg of lamb
1 tablespoon dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 bay leaves
4 sour oranges

  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Place meat into the pan, and sear on all sides. Decrease heat to low. Pour marinade over meat in the pan, and cover. Cook until the meat is fork tender, about 3 hours; add water to the pot if necessary to keep the meat from scorching.
