Middle Eastern Leg of Lamb with Yogurt-Tahini Sauce

It seems as though Middle Eastern spices were made to go with lamb; this recipe will definitely show you why! The potatoes and onions roast right alongside the meat, making this an impressive and easy main dish for your next dinner party. Leftover lamb is great sliced for sandwiches and spread with the yogurt-tahini sauce.
