For an authentic Greek experience, Arni Sto Fouki is the way to go! This traditional method of cooking lamb in a clay oven imparts a unique smoky flavor and tenderness. Perfect for festive gatherings or special occasions, here’s how to prepare it:
**Ingredients:**
- 4 lbs (1.8 kg) lamb leg or shoulder, bone-in
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup white wine (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if using a conventional oven; for a clay oven, prepare it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Rub the mixture all over the lamb, making sure it's well-coated.
4. Place the lamb in a roasting pan, and if using, pour the white wine over it.
5. Cover with foil and roast for 1.5 hours. Remove the foil and continue roasting for another 30 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and golden brown.
Serve with traditional sides like roasted potatoes or a fresh Greek salad!
