ROAST GREEK LAMB WITH TZATZIKI, ROASTED VEGETABLES, AND GREEK SALAD
Sunday roasts and summer are two of my favorite things. But when it's too hot outside, the last thing you want is a full roast with gravy and all the trimmings. It just seems wrong. It's also far too hot to be in a kitchen for long. Greece is famous for its lamb dishes. So what better way to rewind on a warm summer Sunday afternoon than create this laid-back, slow-roasted Greek feast?

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Open the "pocket" on the wide end of the leg of lamb and stuff with some garlic slices, 1 rosemary sprig, 1 bay leaf, and salt. Make 3 long incisions in the top of the leg with your knife. Stuff remaining garlic, rosemary sprigs, bay leaves, and some salt into the incisions. Season well with salt all over.
- Season eggplant, zucchini, and 1 red onion with salt and tumble into a roasting pan. Place the leg of lamb on top.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and cover pan with aluminum foil. Continue baking until lamb is tender, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
- Spread potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with sea salt. Place in the bottom third of the oven. Bake lamb and potatoes for 30 minutes. Remove lamb and let rest while potatoes finish cooking, about 30 minutes more.
- Combine grated cucumber, mint, oregano, and salt in a bowl. Mix in yogurt until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Combine tomatoes, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, and black olives in a deep-sided dish. Drizzle 3 tablespoons olive oil and red wine vinegar on top. Place feta on top and cover with dried oregano.
- Carve lamb and serve on a big platter. Scoop out vegetables and juices from the roasting pan and add to the platter. Place roasted potatoes, tzatziki, and Greek salad nearby.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Lightly grease a 8 1/2 in springform pan.
- Fry the mince and onion in a dry nonstick pan until golden.
- Add the garlic, tomatoes, mint, nutmeg and seasoning.
- Bring to the boil, and simmer, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Wash the spinach and remove any tough stalks, then cook the leaves in only the water clinging to them for about 2 minutes.
- Drain the leaves well and then mix through the meat mixture.
- I sometimes add 1/4 lb of crumbled feta at this stage.
- Lightly brush each sheet of phyllo pastry with oil and lay in overlapping layers in the tin, leaving enough over hanging to wrap over the top.
- Spoon the meat and spinach mix in then wrap the pastry over to enclose.
- Scrunch up any remaining pastry into balls, and place over the top of the pie.
- Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and then bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden.
- I like to let this cool a little, and serve it with a green salad.

Steps:
- Prepare the dough placing flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in 1/3 cup olive oil, white wine, water, and salt. Mix together with your hands for a few minutes to form a smooth dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while proceeding with recipe.
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook for a few minutes until the onion softens and turns translucent. Stir in the lamb and pork; increase heat to medium-high and continue cooking until the onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in tomato paste until the meat is covered. Stir in white wine, and simmer for 1 minute. Pour in water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes.
- When the meat is done, remove from the heat and allow to cool while preparing crust.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly brush a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with olive oil.
- Divide the dough into two pieces, with one piece larger than the other. Roll out the large piece on a floured surface until it is large enough to fit the bottom of the baking dish and come up the sides of the pan; press into the baking dish. Roll out the smaller piece of dough into a rectangle to use as the top crust; set aside.
- Stir Kefalotiri cheese, potato, and rice into meat mixture. Season with parsley, mint, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Add egg and mix until well combined. Pour this mixture into the baking dish and top with remaining piece of dough. Brush the top with a little water and olive oil.
- Bake pie in preheated oven for 1 hour until deep golden brown.

KREATOPITA (GREEK MEAT PIE USING PHYLLO PASTRY)
This is a yummy meat pie often enjoyed in Greece. Of course, every household has their own version - this one's mine. The mushrooms are not traditional at all. They're my way of making the pie even tastier and ensuring my kids enjoy a vegetable they wouldn't otherwise eat. This could be served either as a snack (as eaten as street food here in Greece) or as a main, accompanied by a nice salad. Great to bring along, fully-baked, to a picnic or potluck.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, coat bottom of pan with olive oil and add ground beef (and mushrooms, if using). Cook, breaking up meat with back of spoon, and stirring often until meat and mushrooms are browned and liquid emitted has evaporated (make sure all the liquid has evaporated - you don't want a soggy pita!).
- Add onions, garlic, tomato paste, oregano and cinnamon and cook until liquid emitted from onions has evaporated, too.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 20 minutes, stirring a couple of times to bring hot filling up (to cool faster).
- Add cheese, parsley and eggs to meat filling and combine thoroughly to blend. Taste filling and adjust seasoning to suit your taste.
- In a 15 x 10 inch pan (or large pan), layer half the phyllo sheets, brushing each one generously with olive oil (use a pastry brush), before adding the next sheet of pastry.
- Pour the meat filling into the phyllo-lined pan.
- Layer the remaining phyllo sheets in the same way, over the filling, brushing each one generously with olive oil before adding the next sheet of pastry. When you reach the last sheet (the top one), brush this one slightly more generously than the rest, tuck in any overhang you have neatly into the pie and score pie, lengthwise, into 4, using the tip of a small, sharp knife and making sure you don't cut all the way through the bottom of the pastry (just the top crust and slightly into the filling).
- Position baking rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 190°C (375°F).
- Bring your pan next to the sink and run the cold water tap. Wet the tips of your fingers and shake the water onto the pastry. Do this a few times to ensure droplets of water fall all over the pastry (this ensures a crisp crust upon baking).
- Bake pie for approximately one hour, until you achieve a deep golden crust. If you have a flat-bottomed oven (no element), do put your pan on the floor of the oven for the last 20 minutes or so to ensure an even crisper bottom crust.
- The pita is best slightly warm or at room temperature.
- Enjoy!

- Add the lamb to a cooking pot and add enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil over high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Skimm of any foam and dirt that rises on the surface. Then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered for about 2 to 2.5 hours. Or until the meat is soft to the point it falls off the bone.
- In a bowl mix together the flour and salt. Add the olive oil and vinegar. Add the water in slowly, while kneading the dough. Knead the dough for 5 minutes. It should come out soft and a bit sticky, but without leaving fragments on your hands. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and set aside.

- 2. Place a large ovenproof casserole dish over medium heat. Add the olive oil then the onions and garlic cloves and cook until onions are soft and translucent. Add the lamb and brown on all sides. Add the remaining ingredients except the feta.
- 3. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and place in the oven and cook for four to five hours or until the lamb is soft and pulls apart easily with a fork. Remove from the heat, place the lamb in a large bowl and shred with a fork. Place the shredded meat in a deep-sided pie dish (about 25cm round x 5cm deep) and add five to seven tablespoons of the cooking liquid – you don't want the mixture to be runny, but you do want some liquid so that the meat doesn't dry out when you bake the pie. Crumble the feta over the lamb mixture.
- 4. Gently pull apart the kataifi pastry to loosen the strands, and place in a bowl. Add the olive oil and, using your hands, gently toss the strands to coat them in the oil. Arrange the kataifi pastry evenly over the lamb and feta, pat down lightly, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and cook for another 10 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Serve hot, sprinkled with a few basil leaves (if using).
