Ingredients

  • Lamb shoulder - 300 grams, cut into chunks
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
  • Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
  • Fresh rosemary - 1 teaspoon, chopped
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
  • Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
  • Bell pepper - 1 medium, chopped
  • Eggs - 4 large

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the lamb chunks, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to marinate the lamb for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated lamb and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced zucchini and chopped bell pepper to the skillet with the lamb. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Create four small wells in the vegetable-lamb mixture and crack an egg into each well.
  6. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking and the lamb is tender.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Kleftiko hot!
