I love Greece, Greeks and also Greek cuisine. Every vacation in Greece was perfect. Corfu, Crete, Rhodos, Athen... Cyprus (I know but still...😅 ). After all this history with Corona I'll go to the next Greek Island again. 😎
so many Greek islands to choose from, but I will always prefer Santorini, Crete & Rhodes :) will be visiting there again in the near future. Visiting the same islands can save me time to research on logistic :)
Totally agree with you Kostya.
@@worldcitizeng6507 life is too short to return to the same places. 🤷♂️
Lefkada has some seriously good food in terms of spit-roasted everything. However, I find that St.George area (east side of Chalkidiki) has superior gyros and souvlaki. :D
Kostya Perylov lefkada is amazing ..
I ate sofrito at the Olive Tree restaurant in Corfu Town. A beautiful island, a town I am in love with, and a divine dish. Greetings from Serbia. I can't wait to be in Greece again.
❤🇬🇷LOVE THE GREEKS🇬🇷❤
❤🇮🇹LOVE THE ITALIANS🇮🇹❤
Just wow 😍🤤
Ooooh, a compliment from Vincenzo!! High praise indeed!
the most I loved among my Colleagues at the University Time ,were the Greeks ... Regrades From Cairo
Pfff.Water comes into my mouth ! Great recepy ..Greetins from Gouda ,The Netherlands !
My wife and I visit Greece and the Greek Islands often and when back in the states we love watching Akis. When we are in Greece we always wonder does Akis have a restaurant? He is such a great chef.
I have for brunch and burgers!
Hi, my friend. Sofrito is too a spanish word. An you, the greek people, have an exact and perfect pronuntiation of this spanish word. Your pronuncitation of sofrito is perfect spanish.
Ah, this reminds me of the time I lived in Athens. We would go through an olive oil bottle in like, a week and a half :D
U are the big boss of kitchen. The best chef i have seen.
I went to corfu two years ago and had this dish, I couldn’t stop thinking about it! Will definitely try making at home!
This is my to go list of greek cuisine now..i lav it..
Bravo Aki !!!! You are the best ever!!! Συγχαρητήρια κ για τη διεθνή απήχηση σου 👍🏼🔝🔝🔝
Akis , thank you for all the lovely recipes ,i just made a lovely greek dinner , that everyone loved , all thanks for you , i'll try this too
Love❤ all the way from Egypt,
Delicious recipe! Corfu the Door of Venice ! The amazing island Corfu have been part of Venice during the Venetian rule from 1401 until 1797 , many Venetian-speaking families settled in Corfu during these centuries, they were called Corfiot Italians , so that region is a wonderful mix of culture.***Around 75% of modern Spanish vocabulary is derived from Latin ,Spanish is a part of the Ibero-Romance group of languages, which evolved from several dialects of Vulgar Latin in Iberia after the collapse of the Western Roman. *Nothing wrong with the name of the specific dish , it is in own original old form.
One of the best dishes i ve ever tried.
This is one of my favourite dishes, I don't know how many times I've eaten it in Corfu. So tasty! I need to try to recreate it myself...
Another fantastic easy, fast and delicious recipe from the best chef of Greece. Chef AKI thanks!
This greek style pure mashed potatoes is out this world! My beef piece wasn't that great, but still very tasty
Bravo Akis. Another excellent meal. You make it look so appetizing and easy 🙏
Ok I just made this and WOW!!! I would never have thought to put lemon into beef like that and mind completely blown! This is insanely good, making it again. I will say it's the fact there is a well made video. If it was a recipe on paper, I would easily pass it by so well done on the cooking and the tutorials!! Thanks
Same. The vinegar was a surprise that I will try tonight. I made similar stew last night and was planning on the American way of mash potatoes but will definitely try the Greek way.
Amazing recipe! Thank you!Greetings from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 😊
Perfect Akins, you are a genius... thank you... 👏👏👏
Akis, your cooking style is so much fun to watch. I don't have a show but love to cook and teach cooking great food as much as you do. Geez, i should've married someone like you years ago!
Made this the other day and I could not believe how delicious it was. We had some small children enjoy the meal, so we used pure apple juice as replacement of the white wine and was just as delicious! New sub. Thanks!
Don't be afraid to use wine. The alcohol evaporates during the cooking process
I went on holiday for the first time with my girlfriend to corfu, I had this dish and it was so good! Thank you for the recipe, now we can make it at home until we can return to corfu!
Oh lovely cant wait to try this one, thanks Akis wonderful as always xx
This is my favourite dish from Corfu ever thank you so much for this recipe
You've outdone yourself again Akis! Really great recipe. Made it twice now, the second time with one or two veggies additions, and both times were delicious. Thanks.
Looks absolutely delicious.
Akis is The Best!!👀😍👍💖😜
I'm American. Never thought of my food as " sexy " but it does look sexy.
Time to deglaze with whaaaat?
Better listen to chef Akis, you'll always remember. 😊
Beautiful sofrito 😍😍😍
Lots of love from Suriname 🧡💛💖💜🧡💖💖
My two favourite countries. Greece and Suriname. I live north of Greece b it cannot forget the wonderful time I had in Suriname. Are the party buses still running???
@@stuartverrico8553
Happy you had a wonderfull time in Suriname 🤩🍀🌲🌻🦈🦋
Made this today, what a wonderful dish. I had never heard of white balsamic vinegar. Our local stores don't carry it. Substituted white wine vinegar. It was so good, it hit all those flavors that we love so much.
going to try this out this week for sure! Love braised meats.
OMFG...
I made this, was expecting something good. But this is fucking awesome!
Jumped into my top 10 dishes without a doubt. Gonna be making this one twice a month for the foreseeable future.
I tried this in zakynthos and it was absolutely amazing 🤤🤤
Looks amazing, the meat is so tender...
I use to cook many years ago, I love good quality Meat. It makes for a tasty dish. Thank-you for your recipe
Akis, I just made it. Potatoes were great that way. My meat was tasty, soft but not shredding like yours.
More videos Akis!!
Love his enthusiasm! 😊
Love all your recipes Akis. I've cooked so many of your recipes, and all have been the most delicious dishes, cakes... thank you.
I tried your potatoes with olive oil and vinegar today and I was very happy with it 😊
That looks amazing and SO EASY! Definitely trying this week.
Some people make series maraton or even movies, but these days, Im making an Akis Marathon ! Love what you are making man, great chef, funny and LOOKS SO DELICIOUS !!!!
I love listening to you cos it reminds me of my mother speaking.
You are soo harismatic, one of the best chef-youtuber. Greetings from Macedonia. (dont attack me, be gentle..is my choice) ❤️
Hello.🤗
Thank you for the lovely recipes. I’m enjoying learning about different cultures and yummy recipes. I’m almost done with next weeks dinner menu.
I went to corfu recently and found out about this amazing dish omg I am gonna try to make it soon thanks for the amazing walkthrough recipe 🙏👌
Hey man. I made your mousaka the other day and was so blown away I’ve already made it again. But this one didn’t work out. I don’t know what I did wrong. I got great cut of beef shin. Maybe too much wine or vinegar wasn’t right. Meat was tough and sauce way to watery and potatoes turned into a soup. Flavor was sort of sour, not meaty at all. It was simmering quite low but maybe temperature was too high. Such a pity I was so excited to try this recipe.
This is one of his best recipes
This looks sensational, I will be making this Thank you, Akis, :-)
I have repeated this recipe. Again in the middle of the night.😅 Very delicious.
Hi.. I'm Noor from Indonesia n your new subs. You give clear information n explanation, it's great 👍😋
I’m a big fan of most your stuff, but this dish was amazing like my new all time favourite recipe!!!!
Sofrito is a word that exists in most Latin languages as far as I know: Italian (soffritto) and very probably local Italian languages such as Venetian, Spanish (sofrito), Catalan (sofregit)... Maybe in other languages... In any case it relates to the action of slowly "under frying" (that is what it means) in a small or medium amount of fat (olive oil in general) the julienned elements that will be the basis of the dish, in particular onion, garlic, tomato, celery, carrot, leek, etc.
What is funny here is that this recipe does not include really this "sofrito" process but goes directly to the stir frying of the meat and then deglazing. That shows how concepts and cooking techniques have evolved through time!
In any case we can be proud to share the Mediterranean and its interconnected cuisines!
Can it be more Mediterranean than olive oil, grape (wine, vinegar) and wheat (flour)?
If u ever been to corfu the Italian renaissance can be noticed in the architecture of the main city so probably the recipe may indeed come from Italy

Hi I l never ever try Greek meal but looks delicious.👌
Greek and Italian cuisine are superb but they are very badly represented abroad .For example you will never see that recipe in a Greek restaurant abroad as you will not see some Osso Bucco or scallopina alla Milanese in an Italian restaurant abroad ....but only tourist food (tzatziki, moussaka , pizza , pasta etc ...) . It is even worse for Mexican food , good luck to find a Mexican restaurant , only Tex Mex ones . Anyway , I will certainly try this one .
King K Depends where! I was born and raised in Germany and there are many authentic Greek and Italian restaurants here, same in France or Switzerland, and London has amazing Italian food, too. Whereas I’ve had terrible Italian and Greek food in Greece and Italy in places that specifically cater to tourists...
Exactly my words but Italian is well respected and regarded as the top cuisine. Greek is considered simple food....
Gorgeous recipe mate
This is going in my recipe collection.
Looks delicious!
Looks so scrumptious....wow 🤤🤤
Love your shows man
Wow, you have a lot of great dishes.
This gets me going
Delicious 😋
I was looking for pastitsada but that works too
Wow excellent, delicious, super good 😋😋😋😋👍👍
Salt and vinegar chips taste awesome too. So why not mashed potatoes with vinegar. Have to try it.
You are the best.
I’m so excited to try this! And, speaking from an Irish background, you had me almost delirious with happiness when you added the potatoes 😂😂 - this looks AMAZING ✨✨
Best recipe
So, the recipe is amazing. Only one question: "soffritto" is another thing in italian cousin, is the base for "ragù" and a lot of other recipes, and consist in onions + celery + carrots cut with knife (no robot), is the same that in french cousing call "mirepoix". Your recipe in italian way (the recipe is a little bit different) is "spezzatino". Anyway love Corfù, beautiful island, with lovely and strong peolple
this is my humble opinion, im from corfu and many years ago we had venetian occupation so we have a lot of latin words compared to the rest of greece, i think this recipe was called sofrito because corfiots took recipes from the venetians and changed them a bit. Its cooked with a lot of garlic which is fried with the meat. similar to your ragu or mirepoix, most greek/mediterranian dishes start this way.
Other Corfu dishes include Bacalao Bianco, Pastitsada, Pastichio, Octopus Macaroncini. hahah not very greek sounding words
Cuisine*
Akis you should show us some Greek breakfast recipes
Akis is God!!!
The irish in me was taken aback with the potatoes bit but I'll try it.
Incredible Aki! The end result didn't have a lot of liquid though, can I add more water during the cooking process?
Yummy, thank you!
Very nice
Bravo akis saute👧👏👏
Delicious recipe
Yum
I love your channel too much!!
I love how you massage the meat
Akis, it is soffritto in Italian ;) We love our doubles! :-D
andromacha yes my Italian husband nods in agreement
God, that looks YUM!
I could listen to Akis speak for hours 😻
The part of "Greek or Italian olive oil" is a tribute to your Italian subscribers? 😉😉
It's ok 70% of the Greek olive oil is exported to Italy anyway and they blend it with their own.
it olive oil is the best for a lot of reason (selection of the trees, way to squuezing and other), but also greek oli is good
Becaue they're two of the best! As an Italian I have to say, Greek olive oil is amazing!!!!
The best olive oil is the spanish
*No, he is slowly switching*
You surprised me with the vinegar. Dish looks a-maze-zing!
Great job bro
This looks amazing.
2 questions please-what can I use as a substitute for white whine? Can I just use water? Also, which part of the beef would you recommend for this dish.
I would really appreciate if you could reply x
You can omit the wine. Under the video there is the link of the recipe. There you can find the cut of the beef that i recommend.
@@akispetretzikisen thank you for replying. I didn't realise you did until now, 2 months later ! Xxx
How would you substitute the white wine in this recipe?
To season the sofrito I’m gonna use some beef stock pots by Knorr.
Its your choice
It’s good for you.
Akis, Why the spoon goes into the sink right after one tasting :) Great recipes, great channel.
All cooks do that in order do not use it again cuz has on it their spit...other people are going to eat the food finally!
I love Greece and everything about it, the people are so warm and just such good people, not to mention that the Greek men are so sexy. Akis, you make everything sexy and I am trying everything you are sharing with us. Thank you.
Liked and Subscribed brother!!!................

As a meat lover: amazing! But how can I convert this for an equally amazing dish for my vegetarian partner?
You can try with whole or coarsely cut mushrooms in this kind of sauce, but reduce cooking time by a lot.
Definitely with big chunks of mushrooms. Try to use different varieties for many textures in the stew.
and of course veggie stock instead of chicken, lol
"So sexy.."...I'm so confused right now...🙃🤣🤣🤣
Is there a way to make this gluten-free? An alternative to wheat flour at the start for the browning and thickening? Corn flour? Rice flour?
You can omit it.
