Ingredients
- 30 garlic (cloves)
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 lb stew meat trimmed
- 1 lb pearl onions
- 1/2 lb feta cheese
- 1 c walnuts
- 1/2 c dry wine (white)
- 1/4 c dry wine vinegar (red)
- 1 c parsley (fresh)
- 1 t cinnamon
- 1 t oregano (dried)
- 1 t cumin (ground)
- 1/2 t sugar
* Pearl onions and garlic cloves should be parboiled and peeled. ~------------------------------------------------------------------------Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a heavy pot that can be covered, combine all the ingredients except the feta, walnuts and 1/2 cup parsley. Cover tightly and bake for 1 1/2 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.
