How to Make Inauthentic Greek Stew

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and brown on all sides.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the lamb is almost tender.
  5. Stir in the chopped spinach and lamb stock. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the lamb is cooked through.
  6. Serve hot, optionally topped with crumbled feta cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
