A number of years ago, we spent a blissful week with friends in Cyprus. Now, I have to say, it was a first holiday with children so it was, how shall we say, a learning curve? I had a pair of fearless toddlers who had learned to walk that week and they planned on leaping into the swimming pool at any given moment. But my resounding memory of that week is laughs with friends and some seriously memorable food. Perfectly light and delicate pastries, rich, deep tomato sauces and meltingly soft meats. This recipe for Beef Stifado will forever take me back to that trip. Whether you’re making this and eating this in the depths ✅ An easy stew that’s a little bit different ✅ Packed with flavour ✅ Great to fill the freezer Yes, you could try adding any root veg of your choice. Be sure to cut them small enough that they cook in the slow cooker. Yes! In fact, these flavours actually get better with time. The stew will keep in the fridge for 3 days or 3 months in the freezer. The one I love (which can be used on the hob too) is the Morphy Richards Sear & Stew Slow Cooker as it’s really light. If you have an induction hob, I would recommend the Lakeland Digital 6.5l Slow Cooker. I’d love to know how you got on and what you thought of it if you make this recipe.
