Pastitsada

This traditional Greek dish hails from Corfu and typically employs rooster cuts or beef. The meat is primarily seared and then sautéed in a flavorful tomato-based sauce alongside onions, garlic, olive oil, wine, and various spices that typically include nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. A staple in each traditional tavern on Corfu, the dish is traditionally served over penne, bucatini or spaghetti and is occasionally enjoyed topped with grated cheese.
