Shepherd’s bundle for the oven
/ kilo
Περιγραφή
An authentic Greek recipe, carefully “wrapped” and ready to fill your oven with aromas from the mountains.
✨ Description
The “Shepherd’s Bundle” is a dish inspired by traditional countryside cuisine, where food was cooked in the embers, wrapped in parchment paper, and the aroma of herbs wafted out before the bundle was even opened.
Our recipe is made with:
-
Tender lamb from the leg – marinated in wine, garlic & oregano
-
Colorful peppers, lightly sautéed
-
Sweet onion, coarsely chopped
-
Authentic PDO Cretan graviera – which melts and caramelizes as it bakes
-
All wrapped in parchment paper and tied in a knot, ready to bake, just like in the old days
The result is a surprise dish, with rich flavor, herbal aromas and melted cheese that brings all the ingredients together.
