YETI Presents | Underground Cooking: Greece | The Lost Technique of Cooking Lamb

Video Description

While Greece is often celebrated for its iconic blue-and-white Mediterranean islands, this episode takes us off the beaten path to the mountainous region of Zagorohoria — a hidden gem in northwestern Greece. Lamb Kleftiko is a dish deeply rooted in Greek culinary tradition, yet its original preparation method has largely faded from practice. Chef Nick Molyviatis (@toufas) joins outdoor cooking specialists Jordan Tseneklidis and Michael Pogosian of Nomade et Sauvage to revive a piece of Greece’s culinary history that dates back hundreds of years. What makes Lamb Kleftiko unique is its ancient cooking technique: the lamb is coated in salt, wrapped in its own hide, placed on hot stones, and then buried. Though reminiscent of modern sous vide, this method was entirely new to Chef Nick, making the cook both a challenge and a tribute to tradition.
