Shepherd's pie for the oven

A genuine Greek recipe "wrapped" with care, ready to fill your oven with aromas from the mountain.

✨ Description

"Shepherd's Package" is a dish inspired by traditional rural cuisine , where food was baked over embers, in parchment paper, and the aroma of herbs would emerge before the package was even opened.

Our recipe is made with:

• Tender leg of lamb – marinated in wine, garlic & oregano

• Multicolored peppers , lightly sautéed

• Sweet onion , coarsely chopped

• Authentic Cretan PDO gruyere – that melts and caramelizes when baked

• All wrapped in parchment paper with a knot, ready to bake , like in the old days

The result is a surprise dish , with a rich flavor, aromas of herbs and melted cheese that "ties" all the ingredients.
