Kleftiko
Cultural Context
Kleftiko, meaning 'stolen' in Greek, has roots in the tradition of bandits cooking lamb in underground ovens to avoid detection. This dish symbolizes rustic Greek cooking, showcasing the flavors of tender lamb and aromatic herbs. Today, Kleftiko is a beloved dish in Greek cuisine, often enjoyed at family gatherings and special occasions.
Quantities are estimated based on standard recipes for your convenience. The actual ingredients used in this video are accurate.
Clean the lamb shoulder and lamb head thoroughly inside and out, and cut the head in half if necessary.
Prepare the meat by seasoning with vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add bay leaves, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano to the meat.
Drizzle olive oil over the meat and wrap it tightly in foil, using two layers to prevent juices from escaping.
Preheat the crossroad barbecue to around 350 degrees Fahrenheit with all four burners on low.
Place the wrapped meat in the barbecue and cook for about two and a half hours.
