Greek Easter Roast Lamb and Orzo

"Cumulative recipe from a couple family members. My favorite part of Easter."

Ingredients :

• 1 (6 pound) bone-in leg of lamb
• 3 cups mashed tomatoes
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 6 cups water
• 1 pound uncooked orzo pasta
• 1/2 pound feta cheese

Instructions :

Prep : 30M	Cook : 12M	Ready in : 4H

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place lamb in a roasting pan. Add mashed tomatoes, onion, olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Combine and make sure lamb is well coated. Cover pan with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 3 hours. Remove from the oven and remove aluminum foil; leave oven on.
• Add water and orzo directly to the roasting pan. Return to the hot oven and bake until pasta is cooked and very little liquid remains, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Add feta cheese and mix until melted and combined.

Notes :

• The orzo is always high in demand in our house. A second pound wouldn't go amiss if you've a big enough pan for it. Of course, also double the feta and water, then.
• As with all roasting recipes, you can use a lower temperature and cook longer. Three hours is the minimum I've used. You could also use 6 to 10 hours at 300 degrees F for a very tender result.
