Arni Psito - Roast Leg of Lamb image

We love the simplicity of this recipe. The seasonings highlight the flavor of the lamb and the roasting method is no-fuss, tried and true. Feel free to use a combination of seasonings that pleases your family. This is based on a recipe from a book entitled The Grecian Plate compiled by The Hellenic Ladies Society of St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church, Durham, North Carolina (1984).
