description Kleftiko Overview

Kleftiko, meaning 'stolen' in Greek, refers to a traditional slow-cooked lamb dish. Legend has it that shepherds stole lambs and cooked them underground to avoid detection. Today, it's typically prepared in a clay pot with potatoes, carrots, and herbs, baked for several hours until the lamb is incredibly tender and falling off the bone. The long cooking time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a rich and aromatic dish.
