From this recipe you learned how to cook a leg of lamb baked in the oven in a sleeve - an express method for those who are in a hurry to feed their family tasty and satisfying. The whole secret of this cooking method is in the marinade: it is onions passed through a meat grinder. Onion juice is considered one of the strongest marinades for meat, but if it is slightly overexposed, and the meat will crumble into fibers, which is why I recommended keeping it for no more than two hours before baking. Vegetables are ideal for such a dish: both fresh and baked. Enjoy the unique taste and aroma of this meat delicacy!
