Hi FB

I bought a whole leg of goat the other day and plan on using your Kleftiko recipe for it. Do you recommmend taking the meat off the bone to cook it, or could it be left whole. I'd like to put the bone in to cook with it.

Cheers

Hi Jen,

If you can I would just cut it into "discs" and a shank, so each of the discs has a bit of bone in the middleand 1"-2" thick. Usually kleftiko is cooked on the bone.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks FB, I'd better sterilize the hacksaw then!

Hey Jen,

How did the Kleftiko go?

I haven't done it yet FB, I'm saving it for a gathering of the clan in June. It's a postponed housewarming (we moved in December). The family always expect something different to eat when they come here, and this will certainly be something new for them.
