Recipe for Greek Easter lamb marinade

[paharo45]

Does anyone have a really good marinade for lamb? I really wanna try it out for easter but I'm a little bit intimidated not gonna lie. I want to make it in the oven with potatoes like this:

The classic marinade is garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and a little bit of lemon. I would be pretty heavy handed with the spices, especially if its for a big piece of lamb.

I always cook my lamb in parchment paper to keep the juices in! The slower it cooks the better the flavor is

I make a marinade with plenty of fresh lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic. I brush it on the meat and let it sit overnight. The day of cooking, I brush the mixture on the lamb every thirty minutes or so while it is cooking. This marinade works whether you bake, grill, or roast it on a spit.

What I do for my leg of Lamb is cut slits and stuff it with cloves of garlic, Greek Seasoning Cavender's, fresh greek oregano , black ground pepper, I don't salt because Greek Seasoning has enough in it. Then after I rub the leg of lamb with Olive oil and herbs and fresh Lemon Juice. Let Lamb marinate until the next day. Now be sure and take the Leg out and let it sit on the counter until room temperature before roasting or putting it on the grill. Cook until the internal temperature of the leg of lamb is 145 or 165 if you prefer. Serve with Greek potatoes and greek salad.

I've always seen this seasoning around but I've never actually tried it! I wasn't sure if it was authentically Greek or not. What is the flavour like?

I make the marinade with red wine, olive oil, lemon juice, Cavenders Greek seasoning and fresh rosemary. To prep the leg of lamb I debone the leg and place all the ingredients in a plastic bag for 1-2 days. To cook lamb I lay the leg out flat like a steak on the grill and cook until med-rare. We usually serve with salad, rice and greek string beans Cooked in a little olive oil, garlic and diced tomatoes. When cooking the rice I use olive oil to coat and then add a tablespoon of tomato paste.
