Roast lamb with potatoes is rather a common dish, but this is a way that it is prepared often in the villages here. The difference being the inclusion of feta cheese and also the fact that the whole potatoes are crushed (but not split) before they are put in the oven. Try it!
Ingredients
1 leg baby lamb cut in portions
1 kg potatoes (preferably small to medium size)
100g feta cheese
6 cloves garlic chopped
½ teaspoon oregano
100ml olive oil
500ml water
Salt & pepper to taste
Preparation
Rinse the lamb portions and peel the potatoes.
On a hard surface place a cloth over the potatoes and beat them with a flat stone or similar implement to crush them, but not completely.
Place the lamb in the centre of an oven dish with the potatoes around it.
Spread the crushed garlic, oregano, salt and pepper evenly over them.
Add the olive oil.
Add the 500ml water and stir slightly.
Cover just the lamb loosely with aluminium foil.
Place in a pre heated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 1 hour.
Remove from the oven, turn the lamb and potatoes over and remove the foil.
Crumble the feta cheese and spread evenly over the potatoes.
Put back in the oven for another 30 minutes until it colours nicely.
