M E T H O D


1.  Marinate the lamb overnight (or a few hours) with half of the lemon wedges, garlic, oregano, bay leaves, olive oil, salt and pepper.

2.  Line a baking dish with baking paper and layer the onions, potatoes and then lamb. Pour in 1/2 cup water and remaining ingredients.

3.  Cover with bread lid.  To do this, moisten the edges of the baking dish with water, and cover the top of the dish using the dough as a lid.  Take care to pinch the edges around the dish to create a good seal.

4.  Place in oven set to 150ºC for 3 hours. When ready, crack open the bread lid and start feasting!

 

To make the bread lid:

  • Mix the flour and salt with enough water to make a firm dough and flatten to size of dish.

 

*Optional: You can substitute the bread by using 2 long pieces of baking parchment then seal by twisting on top.

 *Addition Slice some Roma Tomatoes and layer with onions and potatoes.  Not traditional but works wonderfully to add a slightly sweet twist to the dish.
