I favour the Greek method. Similar to Kleftiko. Stab the joint all over with a sharp pointed knife quite deeply. Slice fresh garlic cloves into slithers and insert them in knife slits with small sprigs of Rosemary.Sprinke with Olive oil and lots of salt on theskin,wrap in atight parcelof foil or greaseproof paper and slow roast in oven at about 180 for 3hrs or so. That is off the top of my head. Can dig out recipe if you are really interested.

Stab it several times and put garlic and rosemary in the holes. Then cook it on a low heat for about 5hrs.

Tony I bought one today from Tesco and it is a whopper for £9. Good value and bargain.

tonyav

Thanks Sharon. Think I'll try and get there early.

I heard that American girls don't do nude sun bathing in Florida and drink beer on the beach because they don't wan't to get sand in their Schlitz!! :-)

tonyav
