Slow-roasted lamb with garlic, lemon and rosemary gets a 10 out of 10, ten times over! That's looks amazing!!!
-
Akis Petrezikis is the star of Greek cooking. I recognized the recipe as soon as you showed the ingredients. This recipe is delicious.
-
I'm noticing that Jim is feeding the "tester" after wrestling.... Smart play for high scores! 😃
-
I made this for my husband last night and I have to say….. this is one of the very best recipes I have ever made. Before he even finished my husband asked when I could make it again. Ten full stars!!!
-
My mouth was salivating the whole time! Lamb for Easter is tradition at our house. Love these flavors together.
-
Hey James and the family, greetings from Greece 😁 you nailed it! It is a wonderful traditional Greek dish.
-
Looks amazing 😍 let's be honest, lamb and potatoes are an all year round fav. Looking forward to making your version of the lamb.

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.

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.

Ah, this is almost how I make it. That low on my dysfunctional stove is 275 degrees for several hours. It is pulled lamb that is melt in your mouth tender and so delicious😋
-
My favorite thing is when Jim says anything, and ends with, "Right, Tara?" ❤❤❤
-
Growing up, my siblings and I were taught very early to cook and make dinner for the family. Really nice to see your kids learn this too because that is a life skill that never goes away.
-
I love an Irish American who knows how to cook Greek lamb. This dish looks spectacular and I'm sure it tastes great. Well done, always appreciate watching all your recipes.
-
Jim & Tara- This recipe looks absolutely delicious. Please thank Sammy for her carrot cake recipe; it looks yummy.
-
I’ve got a leg of lamb in the freezer and this recipe looks made for this. Salivating watching this ❤
-
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.
-
South african Boer here. Lamb on the spit is probably my favourite thing to eat. Morrocan rub, heavy on the mint
-
Wow. I have been looking for a recipe like this for a while. Lamb is a big thing here in Australia, more so than the US I think? Anyway can't wait to try this out.
