FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What if I don't have fresh oregano?
Dried Greek rigani works very well, use about half the amount of fresh. Its flavor is more concentrated.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely. Arni Lemonato often tastes even better the next day, allowing the flavors to meld further. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven.
