Ingredients: - 1 lamb leg (approximately 2 kg) - 10 cloves of garlic - 15 tablespoons of olive oil (for marinating and frying) - 1 large potato (or 12 new potatoes) - 10 cherry tomatoes - 3-4 small onions - 2 green onion stalks - 1 sprig of rosemary - 2 carrots - Bell peppers in various colors (red, green, yellow) - 1 cup of green olives (black olives can also be used) - 2 cups of chicken broth (preferably Maggi) - Spices: dried thyme, dried tarragon, ground spice mix (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, bay leaves) or steak seasoning - Juice of 1 lemon - 1 whole lemon - Salt to taste - Freshly ground pepper to taste Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 2 hours Total time: 2 hours 30 minutes Preparation: 1. Preparing the meat: Start by trimming excess fat from the lamb leg. Rinse the meat well under cold water and use a sharp knife to make small incisions in the leg and insert the garlic cloves to infuse with flavor. 2. Marinating: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and spices (thyme, tarragon, and spice mix). This mixture will provide an intense flavor and unique taste. Rub the lamb leg well with this mixture, turning it over for even marination. Cover the meat with foil and refrigerate to marinate for 24 hours, if you have time; the longer, the better! 3. Preparing the vegetables: Before roasting the meat, peel and chop the vegetables. Slice the peppers and carrots into rounds, and chop the potato into larger pieces. The onion can be left whole or halved. The cherry tomatoes can be left whole to brown nicely in the oven. 4. Browning the meat: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. In a non-stick pan, pour a little olive oil and brown the lamb leg on both sides until golden. This step will help seal in the juices of the meat. 5. Baking: Place the lamb leg in a baking dish, add the 2 cups of chicken broth, then cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the oven for 1 hour. 6. Adding the vegetables: After 1 hour, remove the aluminum foil, turn the leg over, and add the vegetables and olives. Sprinkle the rosemary sprig over the vegetables, drizzling everything with a little olive oil. Cover again with aluminum foil and let it bake for another hour. 7. Finishing: After 2 hours, remove the aluminum foil and let it bake for about 20 minutes to brown the meat and vegetables. You will notice how the delicious aroma fills the entire kitchen! 8. Serving: Once the meat is tender and the vegetables are browned, take the dish out of the oven. Serve the lamb leg with a side of mashed potatoes or rice, along with a mixed salad or assorted pickles for a fresh contrast. Personal suggestion: For an extra flavor boost, you can add a few black olives to intensify the flavors or try a marinade with fresh herbs like basil or oregano. This recipe for oven-roasted lamb leg with vegetables and green olives will surely become a favorite in your family, and each bite will be an explosion of flavors. Enjoy your meal!
