Mountain oregano
Oregano is used in almost all of Irini's recipes. Its flavour profile is a true characteristic of Greek cooking. Mountain oregano is referred to as mountain Greek or wild oregano because the seeds come from the mountains of Greece. It has a slightly stronger, more peppery flavour than regular oregano which makes it a standput ingredient in this dish. The word oregano translates to "joy of the mountain" which makes sense considering oregano is said to have been used as a symbol for happiness by the Greek Goddess Aphrodite.

Kleftiko comes from a time of revolution in Greece. Greek rebels hiding in the mountains would steal lambs to keep themselves fed. Kleftiko means 'stolen meat'. The meat would then be wrapped up and cooked in a hole in the ground sealed with soil so that cooking steam and smoke would not give their position away. While this delicious dish comes from more uncertain times it is now often served in Greece as a celebratory meal on Easter Sunday.
