Rub the lamb all over with the lemon wedges, then place the lamb and wedges into a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the potato quarters and cherry tomatoes the sprinkle over 1 tsp of oregano and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix all the ingredients together.

Take a sheet of baking foil about 3' (1m) in length and place in a casserole dish.
