 Categories: Ethnic, Lamb
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      1    Leg of lamb *                       2    Garlic cloves
      2 oz Feta or Kasseri (or more)           2    Lemons, juice only
      1 ts Thyme                               1 tb Salt
      1 ts Spearmint flakes                         Pepper to taste
      1 ts Oregano                        
 
  *Note: Lamb shanks may be substituted for leg of lamb.
  
  Wipe meat with damp cloth. Make incisions with small sharp knife on all
  sides of leg or shanks. Insert pieces of garlic clove and cheese. Rub with
  lemon juice. Sprinkle with herbs, salt and pepper. Wrap securely in heavy
  paper twice. Use greaseproof paper such as cooking parchment or oil brown
  paper. (do not use aluminum foil. It prevents browning.) Tie with string.
  Bake a leg for 2 1/2 hours in 350 F oven. Bake 2 hours if using shanks.
