GREEK EASTER LEG OF LAMB WITH GARLIC AND OREGANO



Greek Easter Leg of Lamb With Garlic and Oregano image

From Good Food Magazine March 1988. Ask your butcher to bone and butterfly the leg of lamb for you. If you must bone the leg yourself, start by trimming fat from leg. Then open out leg by cutting through meat to bone at thinnest muscle. Scrape meat away from bones and remove them. With leg turned boned side up, slash thickest muscles 2 or 3 times lengthwise to make leg as even in thickness as possible. (And now, after those instructions, I think I'll become a vegetarian!)
