I first had this lamb-based dish on the Greek island of Aegina about 10 years ago. It left such an impression on me that I’ve been cooking it ever since! This is not the traditional Kleftico recipe you find in the cookbooks…

Titli's Tips
If you can’t find alcohol-free wine you could also use unsweetened grape juice or lamb stock.
If you’re unsure about making the parcels you can cook this in a casserole dish with a lid.
Serve with baby boiled potatoes for the meltiest lamb on the planet!
