Kleftiko is a traditional Greek dish, celebrated for its tender, slow-cooked lamb marinated in olive oil, garlic, and fragrant herbs. Originating from the picturesque island of Milos, Kleftiko draws its name from the Greek word “kleftis,” meaning “stolen,” referencing the way bandits used to cook their stolen meat underground. Wrapped in parchment paper, the lamb becomes infused with savory flavors and melts in your mouth. Packed with protein and healthy fats from the olive oil, Kleftiko is a nourishing choice, although it can be rich, making it an indulgent treat for special occasions.
