Lambs Kleftiko

Lamb Kleftiko is a national dish of Greek cuisine, and I took this recipe in a restaurant from the island of Zakynthos. I can only say that this dish awakened all my senses and amazed me with its taste. Try it!

Preparation steps

First, salt and pepper the lamb, and sauté it. Then boil the carrot (chopped into pieces 3 cm long and max. One cm wide), peas and peppers chopped into rings. Cut the potatoes into quarters or halves and bake them in the oven like a bakery. Cut the red onion into semicircles. Crush the tomato and take it with the feta.
Take a ceramic or other dish, put enough aluminum foil in it to cover the inside and enough outside to wrap the dish completely in the foil when baking. When you do that, put all the mixed ingredients (except tomatoes and feta), salt and pepper on the bottom of the foil (bowl), and pour tomato sauce over them. On top of that, sprinkle with crushed tomatoes and feta and a pinch of oregano.
Wrap the foil so that all the ingredients can be cooked without steaming and bake for 15 minutes at 220 degrees.

Serving

Unwrap, remove from the pan and serve in foil on a plate, as shown in the picture.

Although it is best on Easter, when both meat and potatoes are young, you can prepare this lamb in others, given the size of the piece, certainly on more festive occasions when there are more people at the table.

Greek peasant salad

Variations on the theme of Greek salad are countless, and if you start preparing according to this recipe, you will not be fooled. Salad is a great addition to a meal, but it can also be a stand-alone meal during the summer heat.

Kidney from the oven

If you manage to find one of the truly rarer meats, goat, try to keep it on your palate for a long time. How long, let the marinated roast reveal you intoxicated with wine vinegar, wine, beer, brandy…

Lamb soup with dried meat

You will get a simple meal, especially if you cook the soup only on prosciutto bones, lamb's head or dried mutton, and you will thicken it by adding a variety of vegetables, so it will become a hearty independent dish.

Lamb with parsley

Did you know that in addition to culinary play with it, the taste of lamb mostly depends on the type of grazing. Lamb grazing near the sea or on high mountain pastures full of aromatic wild herbs is especially delicious.

Roast lamb with rice and pine nuts

Roast young lamb with rosemary is always a real temptation for every gourmet palate. A side dish of rice with crispy pine nuts will only give it a Mediterranean flair.

Stuffed turkey

This turkey is a great idea for a Christmas roast, but other holidays won’t mind if it’s on their occasional table.
