  • 1 Leg of lamb *
  • 2 oz Feta or Kasseri (or more)
  • 1 ts Thyme

  • 1 ts Oregano

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
