I Made a Real Grill Out of a Huge Log! Roasting a Lot of Lamb Meat in a Log

lamb leg

🥗Healthier: chicken thigh

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken is lower in fat and pork is often less expensive.

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat, while ricotta is generally more affordable.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Rub the lamb leg with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and season with oregano, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Place the seasoned lamb in a roasting pan.

Surround the lamb with chopped potatoes, onions, and carrots.

Pour red wine over the lamb and vegetables, adding bay leaves for flavor.

Cover the roasting pan with foil and roast for 1.5 hours.

Remove the foil and roast for an additional 30 minutes until the lamb is golden brown.

Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 70°C (160°F).

Let the lamb rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Serve with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley.
