Stefado Of Beef And Garlic

Ingredients

800 gr stew meat trimmed
26 gr parsley
1 bay leaf
2 gr oregano
3 gr cinnamon
2 gr cumin
2 gr sugar
120 ml dry wine
60 ml dry wine vinegar
375 gr pearl onions
30 garlic
230 gr feta cheese
120 gr walnuts

Instructions

* Pearl onions and garlic cloves should be parboiled and peeled. ~------------------------------------------------------------------------Preheat oven to 180ÂșC . In a heavy pot that can be covered, combine all the ingredients except the feta, walnuts and half cup parsley. Cover tightly and bake for 1.5 hours or more, until the meat is very tender. Lower the oven temperature during this time, so that the contents of the pot remain at a gentle simmer. Skim off the fat. Do not boil the sacue down; it should remain rather thin. Ladle the stew into a deep platter. Granish with feta, walnuts, and the remaining parsley.
