Bone the leg of lamb and flatten it.

Prepare the marinade using 2-3 cloves of garlic, parsley, dried rosemary, black pepper, oregano, and about a tablespoon of salt per kilo of meat.

Add olive oil to the marinade until it reaches a thick, porridge-like consistency.

Rub half of the marinade on each side of the leg of lamb.

Insert skewers into the meat to prevent it from curling while grilling.

Preheat the grill with direct heat and add a sprig of rosemary for flavor.

Grill the lamb for 5 minutes on one side, then turn it over and grill for another 5 minutes.

Check for doneness; it should have a nice brown crust and smoky flavor.

Remove the skewers and slice the meat to serve.
