Stifado

Laura bought me The Spicery's How to be a Mezze Legend cookbook for my birthday.

"From moussaka to muhammara, baba ganoush to baklava, shawarma to shish - this kit will have you creating your classic favourites, as well as discovering loads of exciting new dishes, using our 4 simple spice blends specially created for this book.

Mix and match all of the dishes to suit you - with this kit, you can create anything from a simple mid-week meal to an elaborate feast complete with dips, salads, kebabs, stews, rice, breads, condiments and desserts... Get ready to transport the heady fragrance, romance and opulence of the souk into your own kitchen - it's going to be Legendary!"

Yesterday I did the Stifado beef stew recipe with bulgar wheat and a Greek salad for dinner.

It was delicious. "The best stew I've ever tasted", said Sarah... and she bagsied the leftovers for her lunch today. Thank-you Laura! Come and have a mezze feast here some time soon.
