Stifado (Greek Beef Stew)
Beef stew with a bounty of small whole onions, red wine, tomato, and warm spices like cinnamon and allspice.
Why It Works
The warm spices distinguish stifado from French or Irish stews. The whole onions, added raw, slowly caramelize in the braising liquid and become sweet and silky.
