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.

Steps:
- Remove all the fat from the lamb (or most of it).
- Make small slits just large enough for garlic slivers evenly in the leg of lamb, and insert the garlic slivers.
- Cut the carrots into thick slices, the onions and lemons into quarters.
- Rub the lamb with olive oil, put salt and pepper all over.
- Put the lamb into a pan and place all the vegetables around it.
- Fill up with olive oil (1/2- 1 cup) and boiling water.
- Put into oven at 400°F and roast for an hour.
- After one hour, turn meat over and fill pan with the whole bottle of beer.
- Put back into oven for another hour.
- The vegetables give a very nice sauce.
- Experiment with the amount of lemon.
- A nice variation is adding potatoes (quarters) when turning the lamb, gives great side-dish.
