Steps:
- Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Pound the garlic, half the oregano, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, then add the lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Stab the lamb all over with a sharp knife, then push as much of the herb paste as you can into the holes.
- Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tin, then toss in the remaining olive oil and any remaining herb paste. Nestle the lamb amongst the potatoes, roast for 20 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Roast for 1 hr 15 mins for medium-rare, adding another 15 mins if you prefer your lamb medium. Baste the lamb once or twice with the juices and toss the potatoes. When the lamb is done to your liking, remove from the tin and let it rest. Throw the rest of the oregano in with the potatoes, scoop from the tin and keep warm.
- Place the roasting tin over a medium flame, add the canned tomatoes and olives to the pan juices, then simmer for a few mins. Serve the lamb with the potatoes and sauce and a simple salad.

Steps:
- Wash lamb well and pat dry.
- Finely chop 8 cloves of garlic and place in a glass dish or sturdy plastic bag large enough to hold the lamb.
- Stir in 4 tsps each of oregano and rosemary, 1/4 cup of the oil, the wine, zest and lemon juice.
- Place lamb in marinade, turning to coat well on all sides; cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Crush remaining 6 cloves of garlic and stir together with remaining 2 tsps each oregano and rosemary.
- Remove lamb from marinade (keep marinade) and pierce in several places with the tip of a sharp knife.
- Rub garlic-herb-mustard mixture over lamb, pressing into incisions.
- Coat with remaining 2 tbsp of oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
- Peel potatoes and cut into large wedges or like cottage fries (or if you are using small, new potatoes, leave them whole).
- Toss in the marinade kept from the lamb and 2 additional tablespoons of olive oil and pour all of this mixture into your pan, around the lamb.
- Roast, uncovered, in 190 degrees C (375 F) oven for 1 ½ hours, turn lamb over to make a crust on the other side, give potatoes a stir and continue to roast for another 45 minutes (total roasting time - 2 hours and 15 minutes).
- Greeks do not like to eat lamb anyway but well-done.
- My Big Fat Greek Wedding was SO WRONG when they showed the platter of (red-pink lamb being passed around).
- Do it the way you prefer in terms of timing, but this is the way it would be served here.
- Serve with plenty of crusty bread to dip into the pan juices, a large, leafy salad, and lots and lots of red wine!
ROAST LEG OF LAMB
Cooking peeled potatoes in the pan around the roast is yummy. The only other things you need are gravy made from the pan drippings and a fresh vegetable.
