  1. I drove from Inverness to La Rochelle in France & back in my 2003 Defender 90 a couple of years ago & it never missed a beat or used any oil or water the whole journey!

  9. Hi Jon, It`s the wine that helps make the rich flavour of Stifado, most of the wine evaporates off anyway.
  10. Here`s a recipe for my favourite stew, it`s called Stifado & is from Greece:- 1.5 Kgs Stewing or chuck steak (you can also use lamb or octopus! ) • At least 1/2 bottle of good, rich red wine • 3 Cloves of garlic, thinly sliced • 800g baby onions or shallots • Olive oil for frying • 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half • 3 Bay leaves • 1 tsp ground allspice • 2 Tbsp tomato puree • Salt and freshly ground black pepper Cut the beef into large chunks, the bigger the better, but around 2" is about right. In a fairly hot pan, heat the olive oil and when hot, fry your chunks of beef until sealed on all sides and slighty browned. Add some more oil to the pan and fry the onions (chopped in half if they're too big) over a medium heat until they start to brown - about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute. Put this in with the beef. Pour the wine into the pan, add the cinnamon, ground allspice & bay leaves and heat until it just begins to boil. Stir in the tomato puree. Grab yourself the other half bottle of wine and marinate your throat and stomach in it. Occasionally disturb yourself to give the stifado a stir. It will take at least 3 hours to cook! When it's done, the meat should be very tender and the sauce nice and thick. Serve with rice, Greek salad & crusty bread!
