For my Roast Leg of Lamb you will need:

A leg of lamb
2 lemons, zest grated and lemons squeezed
Olive Oil by Ondolovia, enough to coat the lamb sparingly
1 tub if plain yoghurt
4 Garlic cloves, whole
A mix of fresh thyme and rosemary
1/4 teaspoon Schwartz Oregano
1/4 teaspoon Schwartz Sweet Paprika
1 onion
Freshly ground pepper and Seas Salt

Mix the lemon juice and zest with the yoghurt, olive oil some finely chopped garlic and a mix of finely chopped fresh herbs .  Add the oregano and sweet smoked paprika. Place the lamb on a large piece of foil and rub the marinade all over. Roughly chop up the onions and spread all over the lamb. Season and if available roughly cut up sprigs of fresh rosemary and put over the lamb. Wrap the leg in foil and leave in fridge overnight.

Cook in a slow oven at 150 C covered for 4 hours and then uncovered for the last 30 minutes at 180C. The result is tender, moist delicious lamb that will literally melt in your mouth. Garnish with fresh thyme and lemon and serve with roast potatoes.
