Cypriot Baked Lamb and Potatoes With Cumin and Tomatoes

from “Falling Cloudberries” by Tessa Kiros In the book, the recipe description reads: “This is so simple. It’s a very typical Cipriot all-in-one meal–you just need the time to prepare the lamb and vegetables, then you can fling it in the oven, go out for a (Greek) coffee, and come home to a ready meal. You could use lamb chops and leave them whole instead of cutting them into chunks, which makes it even simpler. And it doesn’t need much by way of accompaniments–perhaps a salad or some simply sauteed vegetables.”

Greek Cypriot Salad

This is a bit different than your normal Greek Salad in that it uses lambs lettuce and coriander for the salad leaves. You can add other ingredients if you wish or use lemon juice instead of vinegar.

Cypriot Pumpkin Soup

Not all pumpkin soups are American – some versions come from Cyprus, too! Try this on a cold winter night, or any time of the year, really.
