Description

Traditionally, beef is used as the main ingredient, but it can easily be replaced with lamb, veal, rabbit, or other types of meat. Rice is used in the original version, but stifado will be just as delicious served with potatoes (boiled or mashed). Thanks to the generous amount of aromatic herbs, the dish turns out fragrant and rich with interesting flavor combinations. Serve hot.
