🥗Healthier: pork shoulder

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Pork shoulder is flavorful and often less expensive.

Remove excess fat from the leg of lamb to make it look clean.

Make deep cuts into the meat down to the bone for better marination.

Add slits into the joint to help it fold down for easier placement in the roasting pan.

Prepare the marinade by mixing 1 tablespoon coriander powder, 1 tablespoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1.5 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 cup olive oil until it resembles a thick and smooth paste.

Rub half of the marinade into the top half of the leg of lamb.

Flip the leg over and rub the remaining marinade onto the rest of the leg.

Marinate the leg overnight or freeze it for later use, ensuring it's completely defrosted before cooking.

Bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 hours covered in foil, or pressure cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Dry the water and serve with your favorite vegetables, using drippings to make gravy.
