The Greeks use a lot of lamb in their cooking, and complement it with garlic, onions and herbs. This recipe takes the usual lamb hotpot and gives it a Greek flavour with the use of traditional ingredients. This is a meal in itself, and as such is simple to prepare with very little washing up! I do like to serve it with some bread though, to soak up all the lovely juices. The quantities shown in this recipe serve 4.

Method
