Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
  2. Crush the garlic with the salt, pepper, paprika and vinegar, then rub the meat with this paste.
  3. Place the meat in an ovenproof dish with the onions cut into wedges, the bay leaves and the oil.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes at 200 °C, then lower to 170 °C and continue cooking for 1 h 15 to 1 h 30, basting regularly.
  5. Add the peeled potatoes cut into wedges to the dish for the last 45 minutes.
  6. Check the cooking: the meat should come away easily from the bone. Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Variations and tips
