Oven-Roasted Lamb: When Crete Joins the Oven Party!

If you think oven-roasted lamb is just "meat and potatoes," you’re seriously mistaken! In Crete, oven-roasted lamb is an experience! The way it’s cooked and the flavors come together so perfectly that every bite feels like a celebration of taste!

Now, picture this: the lamb marinated in fresh olive oil, garlic, lemon, and herbs straight from the Cretan mountains – oregano, thyme, and bay leaves! These ingredients make it tender and full of flavor, while the crust becomes crispy and golden, winning over even the pickiest eaters!

And then the big moment… it goes into the oven and roasts for hours! Time and patience are the secrets to making it perfect! And when you open the oven door, all you’ll want to do is grab that plate and dive in with your friends!

With potatoes, fresh salads, and of course, some local wine or raki, oven-roasted lamb is the ultimate dish for any celebration or family gathering. In Crete, food is always better when shared with your loved ones!
