Kleftiko (T3)
(In Greek, kleftiko means -stolen meat, a according to legend, this dish would be made with a lamb stolen from a flock as it grazed on a hillside. The thief would cook the meat over many hours in a hole in the ground, sealed with mud so that no steam could escape to give him away. No other ingredients were added except maybe some salt, if they had any. Nowadays, the lamb is sealed inside parchment paper or aluminium foil and of course more ingredients are added to make it tastier)
