Paper Baked Leg Of Lamb Recipe


Paper Baked Leg Of Lamb           

This is one of the best Leg of Lamb recipes I have ever made. I always use more feta than the recommended 2oz  and I use more garlic.


Ingredients:
1 Leg of lamb
2 oz Feta Cheese or More
1 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Spearmint flakes ( optional )
1 tsp Oregano
2 Garlic cloves
2 Lemons, juice only
1 tbs Salt
Pepper to taste

Method:
Make incisions with small sharp knife on all sides of leg and insert pieces of garlic clove and cheese. Rub with lemon juice. Sprinkle with herbs, salt and pepper. Wrap securely in heavy paper twice.
Use greaseproof paper such as cooking parchment or oil brown paper.
(Do not use aluminum foil. It prevents browning.) Tie with string. Bake the leg of lamb for 2 1/2 hours in 350 F oven.
