I got back from Rhodes yesterday and I can honestly say this was the best dish I’ve ever tasted in my life I’m leaving it right now 🤤 plus they added feta cheese to mine
This looks so delicious, and I can only imagine the aroma in your kitchen. I have a feeling that those fighters may have been found by the enemy, considering the beautiful smell when it was cooking. 😀. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
The only thing missing was a good kefalograviera or kefalotiri cheese.. Nonetheless this is a wonderful recipe and very well executed. Like we say in greek μου τρέχουν τα σάλια. Literally means makes my mouth water. Fantastic!
Looks so gorgeous and delicious ! I love Kleftiko, Roast lamb and potatoes, Indian lamb curry, Mediterranean food and holidays. Thank you so nmuch for your beautiful recipe.
I love lamb but don't have a lot of good recipes besides grilling. This dish seem so easy to make. Will definitely try. By the way, love your kitchen design.
Could I use red wine instead of white wine (Don’t have any) if not what would be a good substitute for white wine? I’m nervous never made lamb before 🤞🏽😊🤞🏽
Look great and deliecious but i have a question, why not just using a pot with a cover? Is using the paper is better? Whats the differences? Either way, great video and recipe!
Not only does parchment protect your pan and for easy clean-up, but when you envelop meat in parchment paper before roasting, it traps the heat and moisture, creating a steam pocket that helps the meat cook gently from the inside. The result is meltingly tender lamb that is never dry!
The food looks good but I don’t know where you got your recipe or facts as all are wrong. Klefti is Greek for thief hence calling it kleftiko. Thieves bandits hid in the mountains and often used to sneak down at night to steal a sheep. They killed it and rode off with it until they thought they were safe. They dug a big hole in the ground filled it with wood and set fire to it, cut the lamb into large chunks tied with string and covered it with earth. They were often chased by police or villagers. Closing the hole put the flames out and the meat cooked slowly from the heat of the burnt wood. In modern times lamb is cut into large hunks, tied tightly with string and cooked on the bottom of special brick ovens. The ovens are filled with a lot of wood which is left to burn out. The meat is then put on the bottom of the oven, a metal door is put into place in front of oven and sealed with mud or clay. It takes a couple of hours or more for the wood to heat the oven and several hours for meat to cook. No oil veg or seasoning although salt is sometimes added and potatoes in which case it’s wrapped in foil. Greeks do often cook lamb or goat in a indoor oven wrapped or covered with foil and add veg etc but not oil, Greek lamb is very fatty and I’ve never seen mustard used but each family cook to their choice. ovens
Not strictly Greek either. It's a Cretan dish. I tried ordering it once in Athens and the restaurant had no idea what I was talking about. They had never heard of it.
Can ya omit the onion? probably would still taste good wouldn't it? Looked on your website it didn't say how much was that lamb as far as how many pounds or what it was it wasn't a shank that's for sure but if you go to the butcher meat market what size was that and how many people did it feed?
@@TheMediterraneanDish eight people okay So if you only had about four people you could still use the same recipe right just kind of do everything with a smaller one and just cut the ingredients down?
This is NOT kleftiko,mustard ??? No no no,fir all watching this is totally wrong, I'm cypriot and this is not hiw we cook it,ingredients wrong,No bell pepoers,no mustard, no wine,.

I hope you love it!

great dish ... question: how much of liquid was there after uncovering since you added the beef/veggie broth? good amount for a reduction afterward?
Looks delicious!!

Superb almost taste it but please don't cut the fat off, it would be devolved into the juices and if not it would absolutely amazing.❤

Boneless? Never had that, but surely it's cracky... NJ was my go to for lamb, but here in Buffalo I'd have to hit Toronto for proper cuts 😋
Wow that looks so good I'm gonna ask my Egyptian Husband to cook me this 😂and he makes the best salad ever. x
Love it!

Can this be done in a slow cooker ?!
Is beef broth or vegetable broth better?
Baaah! 🙂

@@alancohen5432 are we missing some basic geography knowledge about Greece?
So, for how many hours did you put the hole thing in the oven? 😊
About four hours!
Can ya omit the onion?
probably would still taste good wouldn't it?

You can omit the onion if necessary. 1 boneless leg of lamb, about 3 ½ pounds. This will serve about 8 people!
@@TheMediterraneanDish eight people okay
So if you only had about four people you could still use the same recipe right just kind of do everything with a smaller one and just cut the ingredients down?
you can, but the onion gives a special sweetness and flavor to the whole dish ...
@@steveabrams777 I'm just not a fan that's all never have been ever since I was a kid. 🤷🏻🤣
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist no onion, no problem … funny thing, we have visitors for dinner tonight and I’m making this dish as we speak 😊
Well that's Christmas Day sorted!
Perfect!
I made it, it comes out very dry and take forever to make it. Also the pan she must be using is huge!
my lovely dear amazing💝💝💝💝💝💝💝👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍❤💝💝👌💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Why get rid of the fat? Fat makes it juicy!!!!

Ρε φιλαράκο calm down😂. Mustard, wine, and peppers still bring great flavor.
Greek “style”, not “traditional”.
No rosemary?😮
Idk care about the lamb anymore. Omg you’re are a beautiful woman!
