That I am a fan of stews should no longer be a secret for you. A stifado recipe was not yet on my blog. Stifado is a true classic of Greek cuisine. Traditionally made with rabbit and small silver onions. Not the pickled onions, by the way. Unfortunately, both rabbit and these onions are hard to come by in the Netherlands. Rabbit usually only around Christmas and is often pricey. In this stifado, a delicious Greek one-pan dish, we use escalopes.

make stifado — I let the casserole simmer for about five hours.

These are available here all year round. I replaced the onions with shallots. Making a stifado is not complicated it just takes time. As with most stews, the longer the better! Give it a few hours and you can feast on an original Greek classic.

This stifado recipe is my interpretation of a Greek stifado. As with many of these types of recipes, it is also adapted in the country of origin. Each region has its own touch. Own ingredients or preparation method. And that's the great thing about cooking and exchanging recipes.

We can all put our own spin on it. Also make it? First get everything ready so you can easily get started. There are quite a lot of herbs and spices in this stew.

Nice and easy: click on the logo of your favorite supermarket to add the ingredients.

And this is how you make it:

Make sure your meat is at room temperature.
It is best to weigh everything and have it ready so that you can easily get started. It's quite a few ingredients and spices. But when it's ready, it's easy to prepare!
Clean the shallots but do not remove the bottom. This will keep them intact during cooking.
Cut the meat into cubes and place in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle the flour on top. Mix so that there is a layer of flour all over.
In your casserole, put a dash of olive oil and fry the meat until golden brown. Do this in three parts so that the pan is not too full. Place the fried cubes in a bowl until ready to use.
Add a little more oil and fry the shallots and garlic for a while. Then add all the spices and tomato paste. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and red wine. Add the honey and crumble in the stock cube.
Add the meat to the pan and top it up with the diced tomatoes and water (about half a to max. one liter of lukewarm water). Place the sprigs of rosemary on top, and then put the lid on it.
Now the cooking can begin. (On a low heat) Let the pan stand for four to five hours. After that, the meat is buttery soft.
Delicious bites!
