Lentil Soup
This is the version of lentil soup from Cyprus that my grandma used to make. It is very similar to the Greek one, and it is fully vegan.
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.”

Cypriot Slowed Cooked Lamb/Goat
This is a recipe from a friends Cypriot Nanna – sorry don’t remember the proper name for it. This is just 1 version often the main spice is cumin but I like this version best. The family had an outside traditional wood burning oven so she would usually make 3-4 legs of meat at a time and invite friends and family over. I have cut it down to serve 6. If using goat you may need 2 legs as kid legs are usually only small. I don’t know whether the addition of the cheese was a family querk but that is how she made it. I have been told by other Cypriots that adding the cheese is not right.
