Roasted Lamb, known in Greek cuisine as ‘Arni sto Fourno,’ is a flavorful dish featuring succulent meat seasoned with aromatic herbs and garlic. Slow-roasting the lamb results in tender meat that is a delightful choice for special occasions or family gatherings. This preparation requires some time and effort, but the rich tastes are a satisfying reward. Pair the Roasted Lamb with roasted potatoes and a fresh Greek salad to complete the meal.
