KLEFTIKO
This is a Greek recipe from a Mediterranean cookbook, using marinated lamb steaks or chops that are slow-cooked for an unbeatable, tender flavor. The dish is sealed like a pie, with a flour dough lid to trap in the flavor, but a tight fitting foil cover will work, too. Prep time includes time for marinating.

Steps:
- Mix together the lemon juice, oregano and salt and pepper and brush over both sides of the lamb.
- Leave to marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325 F.
- Drain the lamb, reserving marinade, and dry lamb with paper towel.
- Heat olive oil in frying pan and cook lamb over high heat just until browned on both sides.
- Transfer the lamb to a shallow pie dish.
- Scatter the sliced onions and bay leaves around the lamb, then pour the white wine and the reserved marinade on top.
- Mix the flour with sufficient water to make a firm dough.
- Moisten the rim of the pie dish.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use to cover the dish so that it is tightly sealed.
- Bake for 2 hours, then break away the crust and serve the lamb hot.
- Potatoes make a great accompaniment.
