kolenou

Kolenou is a traditional Greek dish originating from the island of Crete. It is a hearty stew made with lamb or goat meat, potatoes, and a variety of vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions. The dish is typically cooked in a large pot with plenty of water, allowing the ingredients to simmer together until the meat is tender and the vegetables are soft. The stew is often seasoned with herbs like rosemary and thyme, and sometimes includes tomatoes or red wine for added flavor. Kolenou is a comforting and nourishing dish, often served during cold winter months or as a comforting meal on chilly evenings. It is a staple in Cretan cuisine and is enjoyed both locally and by those who appreciate traditional Greek flavors.
