Yogurt-Marinated Leg of Lamb image

I was looking for an easy yet different way to make Leg of Lamb for Easter dinner this year. I found this recipe at Rachael Ray's web site. The lamb turned out tender and very delicious. Served it with rosemary roasted potatoes and veggie sides. The recipes says serves 6 but we had plenty left over that I made Gyros for dinner the next night.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups Greek yogurt

I loved the flavor of the yogurt marinade, but I found the lamb to be a bit too fatty for my taste. Next time, I'll try using a leaner cut of lamb.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lamb came out a little dry. I think I might have overcooked it. Next time, I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time.
