65 Years in the Making: Greek Pappou Shares the Perfect Traditional Greek Lamb on the Spit Recipe

In this video we provide you with a Step-by-Step Recipe guide on How to Cook Greek Lamb on the Spit the traditional way.

For Greek People, Greek Easter is a very special time of the year, with many traditions and rituals. These include fasting, attending church, receiving communion and then feasting with family and friends.

For our Guest Greek Chef, Nikiforo, no Easter celebration is complete without personally selecting and cooking a lamb on the spit – a tradition he has embraced since his childhood in Kastraki, Greece. Nikiforo, therefore, welcomed the opportunity to share his recipe with Kali Orexi's audience.

We hope this delicious recipe inspires you to also embrace this quintessential tradition as part of your family’s Easter celebrations.
