Harhoissas

Harhoissas is a traditional Greek dish originating from the island of Crete. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including lamb, beef, or a combination of both, along with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. The dish is typically slow-cooked in a flavorful broth, which is often made from the bones and connective tissues of the meat, along with herbs and spices. Common herbs used in Harhoissas include oregano, thyme, and bay leaves, while spices may include cinnamon and cloves. The stew is known for its rich, aromatic flavor and tender, fall-apart meat. It is often served with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth. Harhoissas is a popular dish during the colder months in Greece and is often enjoyed as a comforting meal on chilly evenings.
