Zubereitung von Arni Kleftiko Rebel Lamb

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
If using a clay pot, thoroughly grease it with olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine the lamb shoulder, diced onion, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and red wine.
Mix well to ensure the lamb is thoroughly coated.
If using a clay pot, transfer the lamb mixture to the prepared pot. Cover tightly with a lid.
If using parchment paper, place the lamb mixture in the center of a large sheet of parchment paper. Bring the edges up and tightly twist to create a sealed parcel. Wrap a second layer of parchment for added security.
Place the pot (or parchment parcel) in a roasting pan.
Add enough water to the roasting pan to reach about 1 inch up the sides of the pot or parchment parcel. This helps to create moisture during the cooking process.
Cook for approximately 195 minutes, or until the lamb is extremely tender and easily shreds with a fork. Check and add more water if needed during cooking.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pot from the oven (or carefully unwrap the parchment parcel). Let the lamb rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Shred the lamb with two forks, and serve with potatoes, rice, or your favorite sides. Enjoy!
