Serves 6:
2 and ½ pounds boneless leg or shoulder of lamb, 4 pounds bone in
2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2 bell peppers, diced
1 red onion, cut into chunks
Handful cherry tomatoes
6 ounces kefalotyri or feta, cubed
¼ cup water
1 sprig rosemary
The Spices:
2 tablespoons dried oregano
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
½ - 1 teaspoon cumin powder (or ground cinnamon)
The Marinade:
1/3 cup olive oil
¼ cup (or more) fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, grated
Preheat the oven to 375 °F, 190 °C.
Criss-cross 2 (full sheet) pieces of parchment paper into a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
If you cannot find very large sheets of parchment, just use 4-5 half-sheet pieces and overlap them.
Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together.
Place the potatoes on the parchment paper to create a bed at the bottom of the pan.
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the marinade over the potatoes. Season them with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Add the diced peppers and onion to the pan.
Place the meat in a pan or a bowl (if it is cut into chunks) and pour the marinade over it. Season with the spice and salt. I usually use ¾-1 teaspoon salt per pound of meat.
Rub the marinade and spices all over the meat and place the meat over the potatoes, in the pan. Add the whole garlic cloves to the pan.
Fold the parchment paper over the meat to create a package. Secure it with 3-4 pieces of kitchen twine. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and roast for 3 hours or until the meat is very soft.
Increase the oven’s temperature to 475 °F, 250 °C.
Remove the foil and butcher’s twine from the pan and parchment package.
Uncover the top layer of parchment and tuck it into the sides of the pan.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the tomatoes and season the lightly with some salt and dried oregano. Sprinkle the tomatoes into the pan along with the feta cubes.
Roast uncovered 15-20 minutes or until the meat browns a little.
Serve with a salad and toasted bread. Enjoy!
Note: Use leftover meat to make delicious sandwiches. Stuff the meat into pita pockets along with lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, cucumber and tomato along with tzatziki sauce and enjoy!

    TIP when using parchment paper. Crush the parchment paper into a ball prior to placing in your cooking pot/pan, etc. The crushed parchment paper will be easier to shape in your pot/pan. Enjoy, and keep up your fabulousness deliciousness Greek cooking. I love all of your videos. Inspiring and easy to cook for my family. :)

    Also it is good idea to soak it in water while doing that. It won't tear as easily and will keep it protected from oven heat for some time.

I will be making it tomorrow for a special family dinner and I am so excited. Thank you so much for sharing. So, I want to comment on this recipe -- WOW!!! I can't wait to make this also. It looks so yummy and I know my husband will love it. Again, thank you!

    Mostly all over the island. But one of the best Kleftiko I've tasted was at a restaurant located in the old part of Chania on a bombed place during WWII...I can't remember the name of the place. My family and I lived in an apartment just in front of this restaurant. Otherwise I've been tasting it especially in small family restaurants in the rural areas or the mountains of Crete. We know the island almost as our pockets. By the way our favourite places are mostly the western most Falassarna-area or the eastern most Paleocastro/Vai-area or the areas of the south at the Libean Sea....And not to mention the food on the island where ever you are and the wine and the olive oil..especially around Sitia :) I love cooking cretan meals but also greek in common. We 've been traveling a lot both in the islands and in the mainland of Greece. Last we were in Santorini in September and before that in Tolo at Peloponnese in July 2018. @@DimitrasDishes

Most of my family lives in Chania and we go down to the port (the limani) almost every day! How lucky that you got to live there!! And the food, I can't eat storebought tomatoes for months after I come back.. Thank you for sharing your experience. Reading it took me back to all of those places. Best wishes, Dimitra

    The restaurants in Chania we used to visit are: Tholos at Ag. Deka and Steki at the same street. For more than ten years ago Tholos was a more rough bomb crater which the locals used to joke about that the place was decorated by the germans :) Today it is more or less become mainstreet. And Steki had never changed all the years. Or else the restaurants in the small streets about the venetian wall before the port from west and the others after the venetian shipyards where the locals are coming. When traveling our rules are to go to the places where the locals are frequenting :)

    Hi Dimitra, thanks for this. How important is the parchment paper and silver foil? Could you just cook it in a large casserole pot with lid, or would it taste too different and affect cooking times etc?

    That would work. This is a great pot roast recipe. I forgot to mention that... Anytime you're using foil to cover anything, protect the food with a layer of parchment. It was brought to my attention that foil is not healthy to cook with when it comes into direct contact with food :)
