Ingredients
Seasoning
- 2 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp mixed Mediterranean dried herbs
- 1 small beef or lamb stock cube , crumbled
For the lamb
- 2 lbs (900g) lamb, butterflied leg of lamb ideally
- 8 small potatoes , skin on
- 2 bell peppers (red and green)
- 1 red onion , roughly chopped
- 5 small tomatoes , halved
- Half a head of garlic
- half a lemon , juice and zest
- ⅓ cup (80ml) virgin olive oil or as needed
- small cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Place two large pieces of aluminium foil on your countertop, in a cross formation. Place the lamb in the middle and season liberally with salt, pepper, dried oregano and the crumbled stock cube.
- Tip the lamb over and season on the other side. Place all the vegetables, garlic, bay leaf and cinnamon stick in a small pile next to the lamb. Season with the same mix and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Add the lemon to the veggies.
- Position the lamb, fat side up, on top of the vegetables and drizzle with olive oil. Place halved tomatoes around it and then wrap in the foil, tightly, to create a small parcel.
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Place the foil parcel in the air fryer basket and cook for 40 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
- Open the parcel and tuck the ends of the foil down. Flip the lamb over. Continue to cook for a further 15-20 minutes or until the lamb registers minimum internal temperature of 145° F (62.8° C). Transfer the lamb to a butcher’s block, cover loosely with foil and rest for 15 minutes.
- Add the crumbled feta cheese to the vegetables and cook, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely colored and the feta cheese has browned.
- Discard the bay leaf , garlic, lemon and cinnamon stick. Serve your homemade lamb kleftiko with the vegetables, crusty Horiatiko bread and a Greek salad.

Notes
- Butterflied lamb leg is a lamb leg with the bone removed and opened out so it can lie flat. Other cuts of lamb can also be used for this recipe such as lamb shanks or half lamb shoulder. Leg of lamb is by far the best choice however as it has less fat.
