What is Kleftiko Lamb?
Kleftiko is a traditional Greek way of cooking lamb slowly until it becomes very tender. The meat is wrapped and baked gently for a long time, so the flavours of the herbs, garlic and juices stay sealed in.
It is a dish built around patience rather than a heavy sauce – the slow baking does the work, and the result is soft lamb that comes away easily from the bone.
