Cashew Free Greek Roast Lamb with Lemon and Herbs

Few centerpiece roasts deliver the kind of deep, herb-scented satisfaction that a slow-roasted leg of lamb does, and this Greek-inspired version is genuinely hard to beat. Garlic slivers are pressed directly into the meat before a fragrant paste of olive oil, fresh lemon, oregano, rosemary, thyme, turmeric, and ginger gets rubbed into every crevice — then the whole thing rests overnight so those flavors have time to really sink in. The long, covered roast at low heat does the heavy lifting, braising the lamb in bone broth until it's pull-apart tender, while the final blast of high heat gives the outside that deeply golden, caramelized crust you want on a showstopper roast. Tree nuts are simply not part of this dish's DNA — every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about unexpected additions sneaking in. The pan juices, brightened by lemon rounds and rosemary that roast right alongside the meat, make a natural sauce that's almost embarrassingly good spooned over each slice. Finished with fresh parsley and extra lemon wedges, it's the kind of meal that looks like it took serious skill but mostly just required patience and a good overnight marinade.
