Goat Stew (Stifado Katsiki)
Stifado, a rustic country-style, melt-in-your-mouth stew, can be made with veal or beef as well. The spices as well as the baby onions give it a subtle hint of sweetness that I adore. Traditionally served with risoni, homemade pasta or potatoes, this is real comfort food. Make sure you have some crusty bread to mop up all the delicious tomato-y sauce.
