Roasted leg of lamb stuffed with garlic, Kefalotyri cheese and herbs

This is one of those recipes that gives you the chance to relax on a Sunday without having to stand over the pot all the time... It will save you time and it will make things even easier if you ask your butcher to prepare the meat for you in advance, to de-bone and butterfly it. The slow cooking makes the meat so tender and remains moist to the last bite!

Baked red mullet with onions and tomatoes

Red mullet, one of the most popular and most tasty fish and in Greece they are indeed very popular! I like their taste but my problem is that they have sooo many little bones to deal with and that's why I don't cook them so often at home. This recipe is a rather classic way of cooking fish in Greece but so tasty at the same time and you end up with a really filling meal. The version I have for you today is more or less the most common. For extra flavour, though, you could add in the pan either a few gherkins cut in slices or green olives (pitted). Another idea is to add a layer of thinly sliced potatoes at the bottom of the pan before you place the fish on top
