Ingredients

1/2 cup (packed) fresh oregano leaves (about 3 bunches)
8 large garlic cloves
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 4-pound semi-boneless leg of lamb, fat trimmed
4 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 medium artichokes, stems and tops trimmed
1 lemon, halved
24 brine-cured black olives (such as Kalamata)
6 8-ounce white potatoes, each cut lengthwise into 6 wedges
Fresh oregano sprigs

Instructions

Finely mince 1/2 cup oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in processor. Place lamb in large roasting pan. Rub lamb with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Spread 4 tablespoons oregano mixture over lamb, reserving remainder. Arrange lamb so that fat side is up. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
Meanwhile, fill large pot with cold water. Add 4 tablespoons lemon juice to water. Cut 1 artichoke lengthwise into 8 wedges. Rub cut surfaces of artichoke with lemon half to prevent discoloring. Cut away choke and discard, leaving artichoke wedges intact. Place artichokes in pot with water . Repeat with remaining artichokes. Boil artichokes until almost tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large bowl. Add olives, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon oregano mixture to artichokes; toss to coat. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 450 °F. Roast lamb 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 °F.
Meanwhile, mix potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil and oregano mixture in bowl.
Arrange potatoes around lamb in roasting pan. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of lamb registers 140 °F, about 50 minutes.
Transfer lamb to large platter. Add artichoke mixture to roasting pan with potatoes; mix well. Continue roasting vegetables until tender, about 20 minutes. Surround lamb with vegetables. Garnish with oregano sprigs and carve roast at table.
