Lamb kleftiko

One evening on holiday in Greece, the smell of lamb roasting on a spit in the little taverna in the harbour below drew us from our balcony. We ordered the lamb, but to our surprise two plates with large greaseproof paper parcels arrived. Inside was roast lamb in the most wonderful stew of tomatoes, red onions, olives, spices, garlic and big parsley. The smell was intense and whenever I make this recipe I am taken back to that idyllic spot.
