I was shopping this weekend and discovered a local discount book store was shutting down and was selling most of its books off at £1 each, so after spending a while browsing, amongst other things I came out with 4 new recipe books – perfect for giving me some extra ideas for this challenge.
One of the books I discovered was by a chef called Sophie Mitchell, who I had seen before on Channel 4’s Cook Yourself Thin a few years ago. After a quick flick through, the first recipe that caught my eye was Beef Stifado – something I’d tried years ago whilst I was on holiday in Zakynthos. I’d never thought about making it myself before, but seeing the recipe reminded me how much I’d enjoyed it, and if I left out all the oil it was actually a very healthy recipe.
Overall I was pleased with the results. There was a really nice combination of flavours, and it was simple to put everything together. However, next time I make this I would probably try cooking it in my slow cooker, as I do with other stews, to give the flavours more time to come together, and also to make sure the beef goes nice and tender.
