Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 320°F.

Step 2

Trim excess fat and bone from the leg. Mix the oil, zest, juice, mustard, oregano, and garlic. Rub half of the mixture onto the leg of lamb. Sprinkle crumbled feta on top. Roll it up and tie with kitchen twine.

Step 3

Transfer the meat to a baking dish, pour in the broth, and cover with foil. Braise for 1 hour 30 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the foil, turn the meat, and brush with the remaining mixture. Cook uncovered for another hour or more.
