hey number one ! I'm making a compliment I'm saying something nice I love Greek food I have family that are Greek I love your videos and no matter what Greek food is the best clean good beautiful nice people exactly what I mean when I said one of the best meaning it is in the best category ever I'm not here to be rude I'm just showing love and respect and yes Greek food is my favorite
Hahaha I know Alexandria, I was only kidding. I appreciate all comments, especially when they’re positive. Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I knew exactly what you meant....
Thank you Ken for taking your time and making an effort to bring this video to us, much appreciated. I also buy the minced garlic from the supermarket to use in my dishes it comes in very handy when I don’t have fresh garlic cloves at hand. I pray the prayer of sanctification over my meal and I’m good to go 😊
I've been making this recipe for around 3 years or so. I always come back to it because it is in my opinion the best roast lamb recipe. The only change that I make is poking a few holes in the top of the lamb and placing a clove of garlic and a small sprig of rosemary and each.
💯 Percent agree I will take the time but I will never use the jar garlic not even the pre-peeled garlic cloves in the plastic jars or bags because no one has invented a way of harnessing that flavor of fresh minced there's just nothing like peeling your own clothes chopping it up and using it fresh I can always tell garlic that's come from a jar I can't STAND IT!! Go for fresh it really is worth the time!
You definitely deserve more views and followers. Fantastic content, fantastic host, fantastic looking food. Absolutely love the greek culture and food. You do absolute justice to both. Keep up the good work!
I've tried this both with and without the bone. Equally delicious. I substituted the potatoes with celery root to reduce the carbs. Thanks for making the process approachable.
I'm planning to cook leg of lamb today . Searched RUclips, found your channel . Very nice presentation.I like the meat on the pink side. I'll try it your way 👍🤗! Thank you !
I just tried you recipe. Was my first time prepare such a big piece of lamb and it was incredibly awesome. Having the chance to try such rich greek flavours in Germany is just fantastic. Only added some carrots and half onions and added steam in the oven and the result was just perfect and so simple. Love it. Thanks for your passion for food and that nice recipe.
Ken, I used your recipe to prepare an 8 lb. leg of lamb for Easter Sunday, serving 26. Fantastic. Compliments all 'round. It cooked in just over 1.5 hours. Amazing. And easy.
I'm making leg of lamb for my Christmas dinner today and was on u tube to get some ideas. I like how you thorough with the instructions and heavy with the herbs! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I'm making it as I write this in the oven now! Happy Easter and thank you so much for this wonderful recipe my mouth is watering already!😋🤤😂 I loved your realness and passion for food. I LOVE Greek food! Bless!!
This looks soo yummy. I will try this recipe. I have a question. If I were to roast 4 legs of lambs in a tabletop roaster, can I cook them all at once, or should I do one at a time??
Hi Ken, apologies for not commenting earlier however, I absolutely love this recipe! It will be fourth time using your recipe for dinner tonight and the taste buds have been in over-drive all week after deciding to make this again for Saturday night's evening meal 😀 Many thanks, I love your channel .... Robert
The Mrs. and I are going to cook this next weekend. Can’t wait to try it!! Ken what do you think about adding carrots and onion? Also how many lbs. leg of lamb for 4-6 people?
Thavmasio, Ken! I will send this to my son and his new wife, as they're always saying that 'it's so complicated', as in 'I should cook'!😄🤣 Which I really don't mind at all, as long as they provide a wonderful leg of lamb!👍🏻🙂 😘
G'day Ken. I prepare this just like you. My wife won't let me use the oven in the summer so I do it on the BBQ with the hood down. Minimum two hours, small glass of wine while I'm waiting......and I turn the music volume up. Opa!
thank you for the recipe. I really appreciate. I am sure you know this already but just wanted to remind you. Garlic is medicine. As soon as using readily crushed with long shelf life or extreme heat treated for shelf life, it kills all the goodness. I loooove the smell and taste of thyme and rosemary. Fresh lemon juice 👌 And I agree with Greeks. I hate anything pink or blood is running. I think that's French.
Hello Ken, loved your video very much. Lamb looks delicious. Forgive my amateur question but, I am just wondering do you cover everything with foil when in the oven or it is just open.
Love this video.. love Greek cooking thru n thru.. watched italian and UK and now the Greek way 😎 Sicily lemons are the best or greek sun soaked ripe probably just as good also anchovies over to much salt content for flavour but a bit of salt n more pepper for sure.. frozen or fresh small peas along with potato can also work... I love how you cooked the lamb tho 😎👍
Hi Ken, love your techniques. Tried the eggplant recipe last night. DE-licious. Hope you can turn the music volume down a bit. I have hearing loss and can't hear low tones as well as high tones. Thus, it is difficult to hear your voice over the high pitched music. Thanks for your consideration.
Hey Diana, Thank you for your comments:-)) Indeed, you’re right about the music volume. In my earlier vids I was still getting the hang of the sound thing LOL I think it’s better in the more recent vids.... let me know either way. Thanks again!!!! Cheers, Ken🇨🇦
OPA y OPA when I worked in New Zealand 🇳🇿 that same dish seems to be the national dish NZ lamb melts in your but came with a chunk of pumpkin and kumara ( nz word for sweet potato) I commended the chefs a very old Chinese couple who shared the secret is cut your veggies all the same size an cover with alum foil believe me as you know this your recipe is finger licking good 👍🇦🇺👌🇳🇿!!!
Thank you Ken. I loved your passion for Greek food. One question please. If I season one day earlier is it ok to add lemon from the beginning or I add lemon just before putting in oven?
great video . i was looking for a recipe my german mother in law always made it was similar to yours but she made a white gravy /sause maybe with white wine . love to find out what was in the gravy. in the mean time im going to try your recipe a change butterflyed on the grill .
Ken, you are my new favorite guy on RUclips. It's been a long time and I miss the Greek food I had as a kid. My mom is gone, my YaYa's are gone, my Aunts are gone and there really isn't anyone left in the family that remembers how it was done. You're Pastitsio video helped me not even meet those expectations, and I may have even exceeded my Yaya's recipe. I want to try this one soon... I remember as a kid the potatoes being roasted and browned just a touch. I'm sure you are familiar with that. It seems like they would not get that way with the meat resting on top. To get the potatoes browned a little, would I take off the meat and send the pan with the potatoes back in for another 5 or 10 minutes?
excellent. next time use a dutch oven and lower the temperature to 130 Celcius or less for about 3-4 hours. In the end, open the dutch oven to have a wonderful colour to your roast
I love Greek food .... It's one of the best cuisines in the world !
“One of the best”???? 😂😂😂

I've found a huge flavor difference (less) when I buy pre chopped garlic. Fresh is best. Just my 2 cents.
Couldn’t agree more Shanon!!! Freshly grated is always better regardless of veggies, cheeses, meats etc....
100% agree with that statement 👍

I am going to do this for New Year Eve Dinner party. Anyone know of some other types of sides that can go with this. Thank you. Love this channel.
The Mrs. and I are going to cook this next weekend. Can’t wait to try it!! Ken what do you think about adding carrots and onion? Also how many lbs. leg of lamb for 4-6 people?
I think you should go for it Nick and you’re looking about 1 lb per person bone-in for the lamb. A bit less if it’s boneless....
Ken Panagopoulos thanks brother!! 👍🏼
Just 2 let u guys no I cooked this as part of our Christmas dinner absolutely devine xx
Excellent!!! Thanks very much Barry.... 🙏🏼👍🎄🎅❤️☮️❄️☃️
What size of lamb was used. I have 6.5 lbs leg of lamb, will it take longer than 2 hours at 400 deg F uncovered? Please advise
2 hours should be enough Seno but it also depends on how done you want it???
Thavmasio, Ken!
I will send this to my son and his new wife, as they're always saying that 'it's so complicated', as in 'I should cook'!😄🤣
Which I really don't mind at all, as long as they provide a wonderful leg of lamb!👍🏻🙂
😘
Haha thanks for sharing your story Claire!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hahaha I know that's right. 😅😁
Most of the recipes calls for oregano, but I like the idea of thyme and rose merry.. Or should I use all theree spices? Any advice? :)
You can do whatever you want Thana. It’s totally up to you....
Yassou! That was beautiful. Next weekend...I'm going there!
wow simple and good
Thank you!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you so much Sonia!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Καλή Ανάσταση.... 👍❤️🇬🇷✝️
do you cover and turn over the lamb midway? Do you baste the lamb periodically? Efxaristo.
fantastic presentation and delicous flavor of lamb
Thank you so much Dragan!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you very much Margarita!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hello Ken, loved your video very much. Lamb looks delicious. Forgive my amateur question but, I am just wondering do you cover everything with foil when in the oven or it is just open.
No bad questions here Behzad. I usually cover meat when I roast at lower temperatures for longer cooking times….
@@KensGreekTable thank you for answer.
Cheers Bro Good Vid. Gotta cook christmas lunch this year. Ill give it a go. Merry christmas .
Love watching your shows!! especially this one!! Need to get some more of your olive oil.. can you send me the link!

I’m just wondering if you rest it at all after cooking or serve right away?
Ken died 2 years ago
Beautiful, Ken!!

I used the small round potatoes quartered. good portion size.
OPA y OPA when I worked in New Zealand 🇳🇿 that same dish seems to be the national dish NZ lamb melts in your but came with a chunk of pumpkin and kumara ( nz word for sweet potato) I commended the chefs a very old Chinese couple who shared the secret is cut your veggies all the same size an cover with alum foil believe me as you know this your recipe is finger licking good 👍🇦🇺👌🇳🇿!!!

Thanks!
on behalf of Ken thank you very much. he would have been happy you liked the video!
Nice recipe. Simple. I'll be making mine for Easter. But, hey...I'm not even Greek, but I will add just a little bit of oregano to mine. LOL!
Haha now you’re speaking my language Glenn!!! Thanks very much and good luck.... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Ken. I loved your passion for Greek food.
One question please. If I season one day earlier is it ok to add lemon from the beginning or I add lemon just before putting in oven?
I would avoid adding salt too early because it will draw out the moisture and give you a tougher and drier outcome....
Thank you 🥰🥰
You’re very welcome Teina…. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you so much Carolina!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Beautiful! How many pounds was that leg of lamb?
Thanks George!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 If I remember it was about 4-1/2 lbs....
Ken Panagopoulos Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
I ll make it tomorrow 😘
Do you cook it uncovered for 2 hours at 400 degrees ?....doesn't it dry and become burnt black ?
Hey Shaheer, haha yes it does but it’s Greek food....
Ken love your work να φερνω το κρασι Γεια σου φιλε !!
Haha thanks Theo!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love these foods
Me too!!!!! 😂👍✌️
Great videos Ken. Entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Yianni!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Your kind words are very much appreciated. Καλό Πάσχα!!!!
If I used fresh garlic will I just some under the lamb. Or make little split and stuff the clove in it
Ken died 2 years ago
Pre peeled? Is there two peeling processes?
Can I marinate over night or early morning if my dinner guests are coming in the evening?
Thank you for your question. You can marinade 2 days before or 2 hours before. Really doesn’t matter. But just so you know, the longer the better....
@@KensGreekTable thank you

Thanks Pete!!! It’s a generic riff. To tell you the truth, I don’t even know who does it... LOL
Easter recipe this year!
👍👍👍
try summer savory (θρούμπι), works just as well, if not better.
delicious and fantastic content host
Is that butterflied? I have a rolled boneless LoL, should I open to cook as you did?
I sent you an email lol Not butterflied....
I also have a boneless LoL I got from Costco. Can I cook it the same way - temp and time?
Same temp. just cook to desired doneness....
so nice
👍👍👍
Yummy delicious ness♥️♥️♥️♥️💜💜💕👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
excellent. next time use a dutch oven and lower the temperature to 130 Celcius or less for about 3-4 hours. In the end, open the dutch oven to have a wonderful colour to your roast
