Greek Lamb Recipes

Lamb is festival meat in Greece, tied to Easter above all, and usually treated simply with lemon, oregano and garlic rather than heavy sauces.

Greek cooking uses a narrow pantry very well. A handful of ingredients appear again and again, in different combinations and cooked in different ways, and knowing what each one does is more useful than memorising individual recipes.

Dishes built on it include Kleftiko, Tavas, Paidakia, Magiritsa, Antikristo and Mastelo Sifnou.

Every recipe on Kalliopi's Kitchen carries the dish's Greek name and a pronunciation, its region where that is meaningful, ingredient quantities in both metric and imperial, and an honest note on what commonly goes wrong. Nutrition figures are calculated estimates and are labelled as such.
