Floyd’s Greek stew
I’ve posted this recipe before; it was one of those that got lost when my database went berserk last December. I would have reposted it but I forgot what I had put in it. I remembered that I based it on a Greek lamb stew from Discovery Travel & Living Channel’s Floyd in the Mediterranean. I also remembered substituting pork for the lamb. Finally, I remembered that I used all the vegetables from the original recipe but couldn’t remember what vegetables. So, I dared not reconstruct the recipe or I might get it wrong and ruin someone’s appetite. Fortunately, the Floyd in the Mediterranean episode where I got the recipe from was replayed a few days ago and I was able to list down everything again… and cook the dish again. It was just as good as I remembered.
The unique thing about this stew is that no liquid is added to the cooking pan. The meat cooks in the natural natural juices from the vegetables. That and nothing else. The first time… well, I thought that was impossible. But I’ve cooked this dish twice and it’s true. The pork cooked in the vegetable juices and there was no burning or scorching. Actually, if one considers how much vegetables go into this dish–watery vegetables at that–well, it doesn’t sound so unbelievable.

I watch all those Floyd shows too! Sometimes the things he cooks involve goosefat and very strange pieces of pork, but he’s always inspirational. Kudos for giving one of his recipes a shot!
