Prepare the lamb leg, which weighs 2.7 kilos, enough to feed a family twice.

Prep time takes only 10 minutes before placing it in the oven.

Dress the potatoes and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Place the lamb leg on top of the dressed potatoes and onion.

Season the lamb with salt, pepper, oregano, and rub with garlic and rosemary, adding lots of olive oil.

Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the lamb.

Pour in 2 cups of chicken stock and optionally add 1/4 cup of white wine.

Tightly cover the lamb to prevent steam from escaping, which keeps it soft and juicy during cooking.

Once the lamb is tender and falling off the bone, uncover it and return it to the oven to roast for around another 30 minutes until browned and crispy.
