Roast Lamb Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 leg of lamb (4 to 5 pounds)
2 to 3 garlic cloves, halved
1 TSP seasoned salt
1 TSP pepper
1 TSP dried oregano
2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce
1 Cup water
Juice of 1 lemon
3 to 5 large fresh artichokes, quartered
3 small lemons, halved, optional
Optional: Fresh oregano and thyme sprigs

Recipe Instructions:

Cut slits in lamb; insert garlic.
Rub meat with salt, pepper and oregano.
Roast at 400 Degrees for 30 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 Degrees; roast 1 hour more.

Skim off any fat in pan; pour tomato sauce, water and lemon juice over lamb.
Place artichokes and, if desired, lemons around meat.
Roast 1 hour longer or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135 Degrees; medium, 140 Degrees; medium-well, 145 Degrees).
Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
If desired, garnish with fresh herbs.
