Litsa’s Stifado. Nothing compares to a Greek Stifado.

Stifado a very traditional Greek recipe and I love it. It took my mother for ever to do, she liked to spend time cooking her favorite recipes, for instance in this recipe she would sauté the meat ,and in a different pan she would sauté the onions a procedure that was time consuming, and the end result was phenomenal…So delicious, we never had leftovers…

This is a traditional Greek dessert. The original version was heavy for me and I always have a problem with baking soda in my baking. I found the cake was permeated with the strong scent of the baking soda and that was not to my liking.

I was looking for a fresh, light version of Karythopita, and I am so happy I found the perfect one.

Mr. Parliaros a very famous Greek pastry chef created a Karythopita that is perfect, light and moist.

The traditional version needs syrup to become moist, Mr Parliaros version is moist on its own…

I tried his recipe and it’s a keeper, with just a few additions to make my sweet tooth happy and I love it.

My contribution was 2 tbsp Nutella because I think nuts and more chocolate are divine together also I pocked some holes on the cake so the chocolate can go all the way in… Wow…

Here is another pasta recipe that comes to my rescue very often, so easy and so tasty..
