Okay, so, first, Happy Easter, second, I made this today and it was a huge hit. My mother's husband is Greek, he's in his late 60's and he said this was the best lamb he's ever eaten. I did a seven pound leg and I think next time I could reduce the salt rub to just one tablespoon of salt. I did even out the olive oil and lemon juice to a half cup each which made skimming the oil off the sauce easier. Potatoes were perfect and I served this with a simple Mediterranean salad and made from fresh pita bread and tzatziki I made the night before along with some spiced Hypocras wine I made six months ago. Outstanding meal...I am still so damn full, lol. I will definitely be making this again. Meat was to tender and not a bit dried out.

I made this dish last night for an early Easter dinner. It was 100% delicious. Highly recommended. Having said that, I opted to skip the ladolemono sauce as the marinade one cooked down was fantastic on both the lamb and potatoes.

This entire dish is a flavor bomb. So many levels that compliment one another. As a Greek whom cooked in the past, you did the lamb well. Nicely done. Easter in Greece is a huge event in every part of the country. More so than Christmas. Lamb is done differently depending on region. I enjoyed watching the different techniques you used with your preparation.

Hi and best wishes from Greece. I watch your channel regularly and I like what you’re doing. I encourage you to show more Greek recipes. The Greek kitchen is amazing, but unfortunately underrated. You did a great job with this recipe; it’s very close to the original! The only thing that I’d recommend is to use smaller potatoes. This way the wedges will be just like the ones of the original recipe.

Looks delicious, especially with a lemon sauce. Love the Greeks and their fondness of lemon in the majority of their recipes. James is growing up so fast, he almost looks like a different kid,lol, I see both you and Tara in him. Thank you for the recipe, great job. Happy Easter!🐣🐇🐑

We love lamb any time of year, no special occasion required, although we have had it for Easter sometimes. (Easter is the only time we make a baked ham, so we kind of alternate years.) The Greek style with the Greek flavorings sounds intriguing and tender, fall-off-the-bone anything is really delicious. Thanks for the idea! I’m going to make it with some roasted lemons, halved. Besides tasting great, the roasted lemons also look great!

Here in Silicon Valley , Ca, we can get a leg of lamb for about $35-$45 last time I looked. Lamb shanks are smaller and are suitable for braising like this, and cost about $8.50- $10 apiece, 1 per serving.

@doritoworld8062 Ай бұрын

The way l learned to do a Roast leg of lamb is to cut slips in the meat all over slip in slivers of garlic. Rub S & P all over, rub olive oil all over. Open a can of chopped tomatoes. Pour the tomatoes all over the lamb. Sprinkle Greek oregano, chopped rosemary. Cover with foil. Bake for 2 hrs. Take off foil and roast another 30 mins Can slice lemons around the pan and rosemary sprigs. This is very simple but very tasty.

Eating lamb at Easter is a big tradition here in the UK as well, but we Brits don't season it as much or make it taste as good as yours! My family doesn't celebrate Easter, but sometimes at the Passover seder my nana would make leg of lamb. We all ate it, but it didn't have much complexity of flavour to it. I think the lemon juice and rosemary make all the difference. As for Sammi's carrot cake, if you'd told James you were the one who made it he would probably have given it a 10 but he didn't want to give too much credit to his sis 😆 Being allergic to chocolate I've eaten loads of carrot cake in my life. When I was little and went to a birthday party the kid's mum would always have either a vanilla cupcake or a slice of carrot cake for me whilst the rest of the kids got chocolate. Most carrot cakes I've had are oversweet and lacking in flavour other than the taste of sugar, but I'll bet Sammi's is delicious!

@mickeyzalusky9312 Ай бұрын

Jim, I made your recipe tonight and it will be the only way I make leg of lamb going forward!!! I agree that salting the roast overnight is a must. I let my covered roast get to 200°F internal temperature. I poured out all the juices, defatting it and added it to a saucepan. The seasoning was so perfect I simply thickened the juices with a little cornstarch slurry. I added the potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet, then popped the roast and the potatoes under the broiler to crisp up. The thickened pan juices were so good, I chose not to make the Ladolemono sauce. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I look forward to watching more Sip & Feast episodes. Love the tasters’ reviews but I also like watching your reactions to them as they eat, review and rate your recipes.

When I make Greek lamb I keep the lamb sitting on the wire rack and just lay the whole thing (lamb AND wire rack) on top of the potatoes, and cook it like that. Makes it easy to lift out as we don’t like ours shredded, we like chunks.

Made lamb on the bbq and double wrapped it in foil and further cooked it in beer. My father in law was over eating it and he said "This is better than mamma's" his late wife. I was speechless and my wife looked at me. The height of my novice culinary life. I was humbled, grateful and surprised to say the least. I bring that up to my wife once in awhile and her response "Humph!"😂
