Greek Lamb Pot Roast

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories while maintaining creaminess.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.

Trim the excess fat from the lamb. Wash it and pat it dry.

Make the marinade: Combine all of the ingredients except for the salt together and pour over the lamb. Toss it to cover. Season both sides with the salt.

At this point, the lamb can be marinated 4-8 hours in the refrigerator.

Roll the lamb up and tie it with 3-4 pieces of butcher’s twine.

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil.

Brown the lamb 3-4 minutes on all sides.

Remove the lamb from the pot and turn off the heat. Add the shallots, carrots, and 2-3 cups of water to the pot.

Place the lamb on top of the vegetables and add the rosemary sprigs.

Cover with the lid and place it in the center rack of your preheated oven.

Braise for 2 and ½ - 3 hours or until the meat is very tender.
