INGREDIENTS

  • 1kg or 2lbs boneless leg of lamb, cut into 10cm or 4-inch pieces
  • 1 Red onion, diced
  • 1 Red pepper, diced
  • 5 Cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 12 Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 2 Lemons (zest and juice)
  • Small bunch of fresh oregano, chopped
  • Small bunch of fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Small bunch of fresh thyme, chopped
  • Small bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 Cinnamon stick or a good pinch of cinnamon powder
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 120ml or 4oz olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
  • In a large bowl, combine the lamb pieces with all ingredients and coat with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Place lamb, herb and vegetable mixture in the center of the bottom half of a large sheet of parchment paper. Wrap it well, folding in the sides, so the juices from the meat and the vegetables can’t escape. If you prefer you can make 4 smaller packages approximately 8” x 8” (20.32 x 20.32 cm) for individual servings.
  • After wrapping, place the package(s) in a roasting tray with enough water to cover halfway up the sides of the packages.
  • Bake in the oven for 3 ½ to 4 hours. Open the parcels at the table and let the delicious aromas enchant your guests.
  • Chef tip: This recipe pairs well with lemony Greek-style roasted potatoes, cool cucumber Tzatziki and a fresh horiatiki or Greek salad.
