@xavskitchen: STEWS of the MEDITERRANEAN 🍋 welcome to my new series where I’ll be taking you around the Mediterranean through the world of STEWS. each country has their own way of making stew with similarities and differences throughout the region, in this series, ill be taking you along a journey discovering the secrets and magic of Mediterranean stew making. for part 3, I’m joining up with my bro @chefmarinie to cook a tasty Greek Stifado. Stifado is a rich beef and red wine stew infused with aromatics such as allspice, cinnamon and cloves to give it that iconic warming and comforting flavour. full recipe in my cookbook :) @Marina Georgallides #stew #greekfood #greece #stifado #FoodTok
but stiffado is made with rabbit or hare. ofcourse you made a lovely stew and yes I could see a greek household making a stew like that we would never call it stiffado. you need pearl onions and rabbit or hare .

As a man raised by a European father I’m bored of European food (exception of Spanish food) I like the Caribbean , West Indies , Somali , Indian , Thai even Vietnamese style of stews…

En español it’s called the same. Coming from word “estufa”.

Hot take but stifado is much better with white wine. If I want a braised dish in a red wine sauce I‘ll eat kokkinisto.

It looks amazing!!! I have 2 tips for anyone that may want to make it
1) use fatter meat, it will by a lot more flavourful
2)after you sear the meat boil it with enough water to fully cover it, and then some more, for about 1,5-2 hours if you don't have a presser cooker. But if you have one for only 35-45 minutes. Use that stock to make the sauce.
The meat will by super tender and great for everyone, even those with out teeth. It is amazing with mash potatoes or rice.
Also if you have access to it, try to use rabbit meat
