Greek pork leg 1kg

🐑🍖 Greek Zygouri Leg

Greek Hogget Leg • Rich & Traditional • Oven & Spit Ready • Ready-to-Cook

Greek Lamb Leg is the choice for those who want a fuller flavor than classic suckling lamb. The leg has an intense, deep meaty aftertaste and stands up wonderfully to roasting — especially when you work it with proper marinating and a slow oven or crock pot. The leg, as a piece, combines nice meat and the right amount of fat, so it comes out tender , juicy and ideal for cutting at the table.

It is the piece that "lifts" Easter, Sunday, holidays and tables that require traditional deliciousness.

🔥 Cooking Method (recommended – oven/casserole)

Slow cooking for tenderness

1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 160–170°C .
2️⃣ Make small incisions and add garlic (optional).
3️⃣ Season with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil , oregano , thyme/rosemary and lemon .
4️⃣ Bake covered (aluminum foil/grease paper or casserole dish) for 2.5–3.5 hours (depending on weight).
5️⃣ Uncover and increase to 200–220°C for 15–25 minutes for nice browning.
6️⃣ Let it “rest” for 10–15 minutes before cutting it.

✅ Ready when the meat flakes easily and the juices run clear.

💡 Chef's Tip

• Zucchini loves marinating . If you have time, leave it in the refrigerator for 2–12 hours with lemon, garlic, oregano and olive oil.
• For a more "rounded" flavor, add a little mustard to the pan along with lemon.

🍽️ Combinations & Serving

• Baked potatoes, pilaf or noodles
• Country or green salad
• Tzatziki or yogurt-lemon sauce for balance
