ROASTED LEG OF LAMB/PORK

Ingredients:
1 2-3 kilo Leg of Lamb or Pork
2-4 slivered garlic cloves
2 tsps dried Rosemary
½ cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
6 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
½ cup crushed tomatoes

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. To prepare the lamb/pork leg, remove any visible fat with a sharp knife.
3. Slice on opposite sides of leg 2 or three times to the bone.
4. Tuck in the garlic cloves a little rosemary.
5. Place the lamb in a roasting pan with some of the oil. Rub oil over lamb (you can use your hands to do this.)
6. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining rosemary.
7. Toss the potatoes with salt, pepper and tomatoes and arrange them around the leg in the pan.
8. Pour some oil over potatoes so they crisp when baking.
9. Add a cup of water to the pan and roast the leg for about 1 hour, checking to make sure water doesn't evaporate. Add water as necessary.
10. To prevent burning, cover meat with aluminum foil.
