So I've got a whole leg of lamb for Saturday. I want to do Greek style, so I've got pittas/tzatziki/ green salad etc...
Can anyone tell me how I should cook it 😂 and a nice marinade or rub? Thank you!

Lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, grated onion, oregano, salt, black pepper.
1lemon
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
half teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Mix together in a bowl, place lamb in a container and rub this all over, cover and marinate for 24 hours.
Preheat oven for 15 minutes at 180C
Place a roasting tin in the oven to heat.
Finely slice one medium onion.
put the onions in the bottom of the tin, place the lamb on top. Cover with tin foil and cook for ninety minutes. Then remove lamb from oven, take off tin foil and cook for another twenty minutes, checking that it doesn't get too brown.
When cooked, remove from oven, pace on a board, cover with the tin foil to rest for twenty minutes. The lamb should be very tender and moist.

I'd make kleftiko - not dissimilar to above post but also has potatoes.
This is similar to the recipe I was given by a Greek neighbour years ago :-
