About Greek lamb baklava

Greek Lamb Baklava is a savory twist on the traditional sweet baklava, blending flavors from Greek and Middle Eastern cuisines. This dish combines tender ground lamb seasoned with garlic, onion, cinnamon, and spices, layered between crisp sheets of phyllo pastry brushed with olive oil or butter. A hint of honey or balsamic glaze is often added for subtle sweetness, while chopped pistachios or pine nuts provide texture and depth. While lamb is a good source of protein, iron, and essential vitamins like B12, the dish's richness comes with higher amounts of saturated fat, depending on the preparation. Phyllo pastry is low in calories but can become calorie-dense with butter or oil. Pairing with a fresh Greek salad balances the meal with fiber and antioxidants. Greek Lamb Baklava is perfect for indulgent occasions but best enjoyed in moderation within a balanced diet.
