Description

This garlicky lamb kleftiko is a deliciously different way to enjoy lamb shanks with lots of Greek flavour.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Pre-heat the oven to 170°C. Add half of the oil, lemon juice, oregano, cinnamon, bay leaves and garlic to a large, oven-safe casserole dish and mix well.

Step 2 of 4

Add the potatoes, tomatoes, lamb shanks and 3/4 of the feta to the casserole dish and mix well. Pour over the remaining oil and 100ml of water and cover with a layer of foil and the casserole lid.

Step 3 of 4

Bake for 3 hours until the lamb is completely tender, checking halfway through cooking and adding more water if necessary. Remove the lid, sprinkle over a teaspoon of lemon zest and cook for 30 minutes more.

Step 4 of 4

Serve with the remaining feta crumbled on top and a Greek salad on the side, if desired.
