Great food stavros I cook this for my family the same way with a salad it tastes amazing well done my friend 😃

[@stavrosantoniou2080]

Thank you my friend Anastasis, for your great comment. I'm very pleased you cook the same food for your family. It would taste a lot better in a clay oven in the courtyard. Να είσαι καλά φίλε μου.

[@anastasisvarellas7034]

@@stavrosantoniou2080 I agree with there my friend it dose taste beter in a clay oven I also noticed that Cyprus and greece mostly use goat meat, as for me there is only a slight difference in taste but not much even with lamb it still taste great keep up the good stavros and all the best 😇😃

[@georgedrayton7281]

Hi Arnaldo, thank you for posting this video. I like your videos because they are so easy to follow, each stage of the recipe. Congratulations to the chef. I shall be making your kleftiko very soon.

GEORGE DRAYTON Thanks George for taking the time, and all your kind compliments.

[@rhondawillington9214]

Hi Arnaldo, We first made your recipe with Shoulder of Lamb and it was absolutely delicious! 😋 😋! We then tried it with Leg of Lamb and found that it was not as nice as the Shoulder. We are making it again tonight with the Shoulder and are looking forward to a scrumptious Dinner! Thank you for your recipe. 👍🏼

[@stavrosantoniou2080]

Hi Rhonda, Thank you for your wonderful comments. By the way I'm stavros the cook. Sorry for the long silence. I have been under the weather the last few months. Very pleased to know you enjoy our recipe, and yes it does taste better with the shoulder. Nothing gives me more pleasure than making people happy with our recipes. Thanks once again, with best wishes from me and Arnaldo!

Only dish i know at the moment.. I went to Greek Cypriot resturant in North London.. and yes the Kleftiko was amazing. So i know about Kleftiko now!... but i didn't know about that history or how to make it so thanks sir. Looks amazing, might have to try to do it myself!

Arnaldo Vinagre I've got to get my hands on some lamb. It's surprising to me that it's hardly sold in the stores here. You really have to look around to find lamb in some parts of the US. Thank you for the recipe, it looks amazing. The fact that it's simple makes it even better.

[@arnaldovinagre4350]

Hi Destruction, i so sorry to hear it!!! It sounds unbelievable, but it depends on the area, i Suppose.... I wish you good luck in finding the lamb. Bye for now.

[@harmandros]

Dear Stavro, your history is 100% true. The method is acceptable because the majority will prepare Kleftiko in a modern kitchen. I will disagree with the ingredients. The Brigants and thieves used minimal inredients, BAY LEAVES, SALT, WHOLE PEPPER CORNS. Your ingredients are for TAVA.

[@arnaldovinagre4350]

+Andros Charalambous Pyliotis Thank you dear Andros for your observation and correction. This is modern cooking for you, and I can tell you this is the best I ever tasted!!!

[@daveevans1410]

Looked at a few recipes for this dish and this looks the one . I will be doing 2 trays of this for a group of us for a party ...how long would 2 trays take to cook and at what heat ? Thanks .... great recipe ! .

[@arnaldovinagre4350]

+Dave Evans Dear Dave, Sorry I have been away for few weeks and only just come back. The time given is three hours at 180oC because of the 2 trays it would take a little longer but if I were you, I'll give it half an hour longer, and keep an eye after the extra half hour. If you go to Stavros Kitchen he can help you more than I can. Best wishes from me!!

how long should I cook a rack of lamb

[@stavrosantoniou2080]

janice brown Hello Janice, Regarding cooking rack of lamb, everyone uses a different method. Depending on the size of the lamb. The way I prepare mine is. 2 cloves of garlic, sprig of rosemary, salt, and pepper, crushed together. Mix with olive oil about 1/4 glass, then paste lamb all over, and rest it for couple of hours, or overnight in the fridge. Place lamb in roasting tin and cover with silver foil. Cook it in a preheated oven 180'c for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook it for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. I hope that I have been of some help to you. Please let me know how you got on.
