Authentic Greek Stew Recipe

Ingredients 0/11

Step 1

Warm a tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking and stirring until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Once done, transfer the onion and garlic to a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Add the remaining olive oil to the pot and heat it up again. Toss in the chicken pieces and cook them, turning occasionally, until they’re nicely browned on all sides—this usually takes around 5 minutes. Pour the wine over the chicken, bring everything to a gentle simmer, and let it cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Now, stir the onion mixture back into the pot along with the tomato sauce, black pepper, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, and a pinch of cinnamon. Bring it all to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about an hour. The chicken should become tender enough to pull apart easily when it’s ready.
