Lamb Baked in Paper

When I read this recipe I thought I was going to be a winner and it was. I made one change which was I cooked it for four hours at 300 degrees F. instead of at the temperature and time suggested. I find this makes the lamb more tender. The Feta cheese disappeared but could be tasted to some degree. This is an excellent recipe that we will make on a regular basis.
