preparation
➊ Mix the minced meat, season and form into small balls. Preheat the Dutch oven on a low flame - alternatively with 2-3 glowing coals in bottom heat.
➋ Fry half of the meatballs in the oil until brown all over and remove from the DO, then fry the second half and set aside.
➌ Briefly fry the diced shallots in the remaining fat and add the strained tomatoes and a splash of water if necessary. Add the meatballs and onions for Stifado and season with salt and the Greek and oriental spice mix.
➍ Cook the Greek pasta according to the instructions on the packet, simmering the sauce until the pasta is cooked (after 10-15 minutes).
➎ Garnish with some Greek yoghurt or crumbled feta.
Detlef Klietz from Grillvolution : “Except for the filling side dish (the pasta), everything fits into the Dutch Oven Ft3.”
