What it is
Tender chunks of beef slow-braised in a rich, aromatic tomato and red wine sauce with pearl onions, garlic, and warming spices like cinnamon and bay leaf. A comforting and flavorful dish, served without the traditional potato or rice accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Beef stew meat, olive oil, pearl onions, crushed tomatoes, red wine, red wine vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, allspice, salt, pepper.
If you order it anyway
Explicitly request 'no potatoes' or 'no rice'. Verify no added sugar in the tomato sauce. Note that pearl onions do contribute to carbs; a generous restaurant portion may have a significant amount. Request extra olive oil.
If you order it anyway, say this (Greek)
Mosxari Stifado, παρακαλώ. Χωρίς πατάτες ή ρύζι. Έχει ζάχαρη η σάλτσα ντομάτας; Επιπλέον ελαιόλαδο.
Mosxari Stifado, please. No potatoes or rice. Does the tomato sauce contain added sugar? Extra olive oil.
Watch out for
Pearl onions are higher in carbs than regular onions. Hidden sugars in tomato sauce. Often served with rice or potatoes.
