Main recipe: "Thieves' Lamb"
Kleftiko
For 4 people, or two hungry ones:
8 small lamb chops with bones (or equal amount beef works well too)
2 lemons
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tbsp olive oil (has to be olive for proper flavour)
salt & pepper
2 onions
2 bay leaves
1/4 pint white wine
1/4 pint stock
1. Squeeze the lemons, add oregano salt & pepper, and pour over lamb chops spread as single layer in shallow dish. Leave to marinade for at least 4 hours, and preferably overnight.
2. Take the chops out of the marinade. Slice the onions.
3. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed frying pan and fry the lamb and onions until browned on all sides
4. Spread out in a casserole dish and pour over the wine, stock and any left over marinade. Add the bay leaves, extra pepper and cover with casserole lid or foil.
5. Cook at 325oF for two to two-and-a-half hours, then remove lid/foil to brown for 20 minutes.
6. Serve with lemon wedges and shredded parsley if you want to be fancy.
7. Mop out all dishes with bit of broken bread, it tastes divine!
