Lamb kleftiko
<p>Lamb kleftiko is a delicious Greek casserole. It's a great change from your usual meat stew. The flavours are simple but delicious and the slow-cooked lamb will melt in your mouth.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>700g lamb, diced (I use leg chops when they're on special; lamb shoulder also works well but is a lot fattier)</li>
<li>2 garlic cloves, crushed or finely chopped</li>
<li>4 medium tomatoes, diced</li>
<li>1 onion, sliced</li>
<li>2 carrots, diced</li>
<li>1 lemon, juiced</li>
<li>1/2 tsp cinnamon</li>
<li>Handful fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried oregano)</li>
<li>250ml chicken stock</li>
<li>Salt and pepper, to taste</li>
<li>Feta cheese, crumbled, for serving</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method:</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Place all ingredients except the feta in a slow cooker. If you're using a slow cooker, cook for 8 hours on low or at least 4 hours on high. Alternatively, put the ingredients into a casserole dish and cook in the oven for 2 1/2 hours at 160C.</li>
<li>Sprinkle with the crumbled feta and a little more oregano and serve.</li>
<li>Serve with roast potatoes, sprinkled with the rind from the lemon.</li>
</ol>
