Stifado

Found this recipe in the new recipe search on the CL Homepage...it's wonderful! While I was cooking (BTW the recipe takes over 2 hours but the aroma is wonderful) I was pondering what to serve it over. We have had rice the past 3 nights so I opted for pasta, would have preferred noodles but didn't have any. And mashed potatoes seemed good but not enough on hand.

So my question is, what is a typical side for a Greek stew such as this?

And I had another thought-is there a Greek community living in Cincinatti? I wonder this because this recipe uses ground cinnamon as does chili from Cincinatti. Granted my mind doesn't always follow a traditional route but I just wondered?

Couscous would probably be good. I don't think it is originally Greek but it's Mediterranean.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Good call, sneezles! It turns out the founder of Skyline Chili opened his first restaurant in Cinncinnati after immigrating from Greece. Here's a link to their site:
