Показать описание
Stifado is a fabulous meaty stew with baby onions and a delicious thick sauce. Prepare it with beef, lamb or rabbit.

Ingredients

750 g (26 oz) lean beef (or lamb or rabbit) cut into chunks
500 g (16 oz) baby onions or shallots, peeled
250 ml (8 fl oz) (alcohol-free) red wine
125 ml (4 fl oz) extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp vinegar
1 vegetable stock cube
3 sprigs of fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)
3 bay leaves
3 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
½ tsp nutmeg
salt
pepper
2 tsp olive oil to fry the baby onions


Instructions

Put a large pan on a high heat. Add the beef and sear it until it is brown on all sides.
Add the olive oil, chopped onion and garlic. Continue to cook with stirring for 5 minutes until the onions become soft.
Add the wine and vinegar. Mix, cover and continue to cook on a high heat for 5 minutes.
Turn down the heat. Add the herbs and spices, crumble in the stock cube and stir. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and mix well.
Transfer the stew to a casserole dish. Add enough hot water to just cover the meat.
Cover and bake in the oven at 170°C/340°F for 1 hour.
Meanwhile heat the 2 tsp of olive oil in a pan and gently fry the baby onions until they take on colour. Remove from the heat.
After 1 hour remove the casserole from the oven and add the baby onions. Add more hot water if necessary.
Cover and continue to bake at 150°C/300°F for a further 2 hours. Serve.

Titli's Tips
You can also prepare this on the stove top and in a slow cooker.

Serve with mashed potato (my personal favourite), roast potatoes, rice, or chips.

Dear Titli,

I love all of your videos. Could you tell me which one was the video where you used the chainsaw?

Have you considered a dehydrator? You could use it to make several things, out of apples. Thin apple crisps. Thick Apple crisps??? A fine apple powder which you could use in desserts (sweetener) and pies (thickening agent) . Also, did you happen to come up with any ideas for a Halogen Oven yet ? :( I'm on my second year of my degree course and have yet to make anything but roast chicken in it... and a couple of spuds.

No darling, you can find Nutmeg in Saudi Arabia, but the reason behind the rumours of the ban, it is that if one smoked it, it would cause serious hallucinations.

I love your channel. I'm from Saudi Arabia . We don't use nutmeg. There are a lot of researches about it, because I'm chemist I know that nutmeg is not good. yes it has good smell & taste but it works like alcohol (damage your body inside)
Love you.

Very basic, you forgot to season the meat

Nope, that's not how you make it, and my pet chimp, Bubblopoulos, agrees. ;-)
