Ive just put a STIFADO in the oven

[melsy]

But Id also like to make those simple but yummy meze herby potatos they serve in greek cypriat(sp?) restaurants. Anyone know were I can get a recipe??

Ive just come back from cyprus and shud have bought a cookery book there.

Is it simply just boiling tats in cubes and then just marinating in olive oil , lemon and herbs ?????

please tell me melsy what a stifado is

a long slow cooked drunk greek beef casserole !!!!!!!!

melsy ime it just doesn't taste the same when you cook it at home. I came back from cyprus monday. Missin it already

often ingredients secret , but has lots of herbs and some spices too.

I am on my way, with a bottle

Mum2elz HIYA . I came back last wednesday , have u family there ??? Which part.

Never can get that authentic taste , although I do cook casseroles in an amazing terracotta pot.

Princess Pea Head or Soupy would know or Coddy probably. I adore Greek Food and I make mine with lots of lemon, oil and oregano.

serving it up at 8:30 !!!! May be revolting never made it b4.

NO family there but mum and dad have a villa there as a holiday home, in a new village just outside Limassol which is fab as Limassol stays open all year, not a resort as such. Their neighbout is the guy who 'invented' 888.com (or a similar casino web thingy) - he is minted and young.

Where did you stay?

We went to a hotel between protaras and Ayia Napa for a couple of days to break the hoilday up a bit.

pmsl at the thought that I'd know about Stifado!!

Beetroot does though.

We stayed at paphos amathus beach , but was a bit dated for my tastes!!! was like being at a wedding circa 1980!! spent a few evenings at The contemporary Almyra up the road! We drove to Limassol for the day and had a nose at ALL the hotels on the front for future ref. Le meridian looked lovely for older dd's !!

Ah Soupy--because you are so resourceful! She wanted a nice receipe for Greek potatoes!

Melsy we stayed at the Amathus Beach Hotel for our wedding anniversary weekend last year and I agree. The Elysium (sp) which we stayed at for part of our honeymoon was about a million times more gorgeous.

Le Meridian is nice in Limassol. Haven't stayed there but spent a day there using the facilities. Lovely!

Yer soups weres me tat recipe !!! Ive got the stiff in the oven already !!

Yes went to Elysium for dinner and tea and lunch !!!!! Couldnt stay away from there. I kinda wanted to stay there b4 , but dh d already booked amathus with a not to be taken silly deal !

I mean not to be walked away from deal !! DD is shouting mummy mummy 2o millns times below me !! poor babes , Ive been chopping and slicing for 2 hours now.

IM finding loads that u bake in the oven, but they seem more roasted, yet they have the lemone herbs etc. The ones Im trying to find seem more just boiled, is that right?
