trim excess fat from leg, don't go too crazy its good to leave some fat for flavor.

mix together all remaining ingredients (salt, pepper, onion, galic, etc,...) using the oil to bind it all together.

using a fillet knife or some other thin bladed knife poke holes 3 to 4" apart about 2" deep and 1/2" wide. take about a tablespoon of the seasoning mixture and using your finger stuff it into the holes you poked. rub remaining seasoning all over the pork leg.

place the pork leg into a roasting pan and cover securely with foil. place in the oven and bake for 11/2 hours covered then remove the cover and baked uncoverd an additional 15 mins or until brown. check with thermometer for doneness.

remove from oven and let rest for 10 mins before carving.
