Greek Slow Roasted Leg of Lamb

This is the Greek way of roasting lamb - slow roasted until tender enough to pull apart, braised in a lemon garlic thyme broth that infuses the flesh with flavour and reduces into a lemony, herby jus rather than having to fuss with making a gravy. Easier and more foolproof than traditional roast lamb leg (the carving sort with pink meat) because there’s no worry about overcooking. There’s also a rosemary garlic version of this slow cooked leg (with gravy!) and plenty of other roast lamb recipes - take the Roast Lamb Matchmaker to find your perfect one!This recipe takes 7 1/2 hours to cook (7 h
