LEG OF LAMB WITH OREGANO AND LEMON
from "Falling Cloudberries" by Tessa Kiros The recipe introduction in the book says, "Ths is possibly one of my favorite meals. It is soft, wonderful, and meltingly lemony and we would sometimes eat the leftovers for breakfast before school. I'm not sure if this is totally the Greek way of making it--maybe the butter and cooking time are my mother's addition--but this is how it is. My mother says you could cook it overnight; I never have, but I believe her."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Rinse and trim the lamb of excess fat and put it in a large baking pan. Rub the lamb all over with the lemon juice, season well with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the oregano, crushing it between your fingers to cover the meat. Dot the butter over the top. Pour 1 cup of water around the lamb and drizzle the olive oil around it as well.
- Bake for about 15 to 30 minutes on each side, until it is browned all over.
- Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-size pieces. Scatter them in the baking pan around the browned lamb, add some salt, and turn them with a wooden spoon to coat them in the juices. Add a little more water if it has evaporated.
- Cover the baking dish with foil, decrease the heat to 350 F, and bake for 2 1/2 hours or so, turning the lamb over at least once during this time and tossing the potatoes. If the lamb isn't browned enough, remove the foil for the final 30 minutes of cooking.
- Serve warm on a platter with salad, or simply cooked greens. Serve tzatziki on the side.

SLOW-COOKED LEG OF LAMB WITH GARLIC, LEMON AND ROSEMARY, AND LEMON POTATOES WITH GARLIC & OREGANO
This is meat cooked in the slow cooker, but potatoes cooked in the over. I find slow roasting Lamb with Lemon Potatoes very tricky and usually ends up getting burned. So - this is an easier, but more time consuming method.

Steps:
- For the Lamb On a chopping board, pat your lamb dry with paper towels. Finely grate about half the zest off the lemon and grind into a paste with the garlic, rosemary, oil, salt and pepper using a mortar and pestle. Rub the paste all over the lamb. If you like, let it sit on the countertop for half an hour or so, or refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Put it into the CrockPot. Add about half a cup of liquid. Squeeze the juice of the lemon overtop too. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- For the Potatoes. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the potatoes in a single layer in a 9″ x 13″ baking dish and pour the oil over them. Add the garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste and toss well to coat with the oil. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes. Add the stock, toss and bake for 10 minutes more. Add the lemon juice, toss and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the potatoes are golden and cooked through. If you like, sprinkle with fresh oregano.

Steps:
- Mix salt, pepper, oregano and garlic powder in small bowl. Rub spice mixture on all sides of lamb chops. Place lamb chops in large glass baking dish. Cover; chill at least 4 hours or overnight.

Tips:
- When choosing lamb, look for meat that is bright red and firm to the touch. Avoid meat that is dull in color or has an off smell.
- To remove the gamy flavor from lamb, you can soak it in milk or buttermilk for several hours before cooking. You can also rub it with a mixture of lemon juice and rosemary.
- Slow cooking is the best way to tenderize lamb. You can cook it in a slow cooker, a Dutch oven, or even a regular oven at a low temperature.
- When cooking lamb, be sure to use plenty of flavorful ingredients, such as herbs, spices, and citrus. This will help to balance out the richness of the meat.
- Lamb is a versatile meat that can be paired with a variety of sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice.
