Matt Preston’s Greek lamb traybake

Greek lamb via an Aussie sheep station

"Australia’s rugged bush and the hot hills of Greece are united in their love of lamb. In fact, the story behind that jumbuck in Waltzing Matilda and the creation of Greece’s kleftiko lamb are bizarrely similar – both are hymns to sheep-stealing. Perhaps here we’d call it ‘Klepto Lamb’. This dish is an homage to both traditions, but asks: ‘If we can have mint sauce with lamb, why can’t we use other herbs?" – Matt Preston
