How the Hell can you call it "Greek" when you don't have even a hint of lamb, sheep or mutton in it, never mind the lack of olive oil??? Just as well you could call it Russian stew or Denmark stew or.........

   

That was what the recipe was called when I got it.

   

Stewed Canadian

   

Are you even allowed here? And where is your passport?

   

Don't need one. I was the Stewed Yankee Pie Last month lol. Indeed I like your recipe posted and will try it. It is hard to find a good stew recipe down here. Seeing as I'm in Vegas and Mutton is available here cheap, I'll take Hyacks advice for a meat swap.

   

Any meat will do. I used lamb once and it was very good.
