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.
This recipe is from week three of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I’m attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and Akrotiri is my third stop. Akrotiri was a tough one because it is basically an RAF base on the island of Cyprus, so the food is heavily influenced by the British people who live and work there. Pork souvlaki is a kind of Cypriot fast food, cooked on skewers and served in a hot pita. It is topped with a blend of cucumber and Greek yogurt called tzatziki.
This delicious all-in-one meal couldn’t get any easier or tastier. You can just fling it into the oven and pop over to the pub for a drink or two with friends, and when you get back it’s almost ready! You may also use lamb chops instead of the cubes of lamb. It’s great either way! The long slow cooking results in meltingly tender lamb and succulent potatoes.
