The name kleftico is derived from the Greek verb kleptes, 'to steal,' the same verb gives us the word kleptomania.
This pano was taken on a hot sunny Saturday afternoon whilst the farm hands were herding the animals, a mixture of sheep and goats, together with their offspring. At times they were surrounding my tripod eek!
Kleftiko became a firm favourite meal for me about 30 years ago when I started visiting the Greek Islands. A local farmer explained that the recipe originated from the vagabonds/thieves, who would steal a sheep or lamb and cook it up in the hills. They dug a pit in the ground, lined it with wood, and put the whole sheep in the pit covering with a further layer of wood, which was then set alight. The whole thing was then buried in earth and left to cook for as long as 24 hours. The reason for the cooking method was so that there was no smoke, and so the vagabonds escaped detection.
Nowadays the dish is often made using kid or goat and we use a different method of cooking ;-)
