Ingredients
5-7 lbs leg of lamb (boneless or bone-in)
1 tbsp olive oil
5 cloves garlic
2 large onions sliced
28 oz can organic diced tomatoes
8 oz can organic tomato sauce
1 tsp cumin
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a 9×13” roasting pan add olive oil.
Cut slits on the lamb and add garlic cloves. Next salt and pepper both sides of the lamb and add to the pan.
Cook for 15 minutes and then flip and cook for another 15 minutes to brown the lamb.
Remove the lamb from the oven and turn the oven down to 325 degrees. Add the sliced onions around the lamb followed by the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.
Sprinkle it with salt, pepper and cumin. Cover with a layer of parchment paper and then tightly with aluminum foil. Add to the oven.
Check the lamb every hour to hour and a half and flip the lamb. If you notice that there is too much liquid remove some into a bowl and reserve for later. Make sure after you have checked the lamb that you put the aluminum foil tightly back on.
Description
The lamb is juicy and very tender. Just delicious.

Notes
Usually we grill a leg of lamb but decided to try this. We were so glad that we did. It is so different from the grilled version but just wonderful. I served it with Rice Pilaf which was so good with the juices.
