ntikristo, meaning “facing the fire,” has its roots in the pastoral traditions of Crete’s mountainous regions. Shepherds would prepare this dish while tending their flocks, using minimal ingredients but maximizing flavor through technique. The meat, usually lamb or goat, is cut into large pieces, salted, and then skewered on long wooden or metal poles. These are arranged in a circle around a central fire, allowing the meat to cook slowly in its own juices.
