I've tried Lamb Kleftiko numerous times whilst on holiday in Greece or Cyprus and have made this dish quite a few times. Each place has its own version of Kleftiko from it being served in a paper bag and resembles a Lamb Stew, served in a terracotta bowl along with peppers, onions and topped with feta, or even served as a slow cooked lamb shank in its own sauce. My favourite I recall is from Nissi Beach in Cyprus where I had it at a Taverna in the beach. It arrived and looked a very simple dish. Large chunks of Lamb served with Cypriot roast potatoes and salad. This was amazing. The meat was so tasty and tender it melted in your mouth.
On my Instagram adventure I came across a lovely Cypriot lady called @chrissygjournal_ and while browsing her page came across this fabulous recipe. This is on par with my Kleftiko from many years back in Cyprus and have made it quite a few times as it's delicious. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
