Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Wash and dry the meat and vegetables.
Step 2
Cut the lamb into large pieces (3-4 cm), bell peppers (green and red) into large cubes (1.5 cm), tomatoes roughly, and hard cheese (preferably Greek, or any hard cheese) into large cubes like the peppers.
Step 3
On top: olive oil, lemon, white wine, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, garlic (grated) and leave in the refrigerator for a day.
Step 4
Place the marinated meat with vegetables on parchment paper folded crosswise in 4 layers. Lift the edges of the 'envelope', pour in the marinade juice, close it, and tie it tightly with twine. Pour water into the baking tray, place the 'envelope' in it, and put it in the oven at 185-375°F for 3 hours. Occasionally turn the meat and add water.
Step 5
After 3 hours, cut open the top with scissors and briefly place it in the oven until golden brown. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley.
