Mediterranean Stew & Casserole Recipes

A traditional Greek beef stew with celery greens that’s rich, comforting, and lemony. Serve it with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the avgolemono (egg lemon) sauce. Perfect for warming you up on cold days or any time of the year if you are a fan of celery! Kali orexi!

Celery leaves have a wonderful flavor (maybe a bit strong for some) and add incredible aroma and depth to the stew along with the stalks and root. To thicken the sauce, instead of using eggs, I use flour (or cornstarch for a gluten-free option), keeping the recipe vegan and suitable for the Lenten period.

We like to have this beef celery stew with a big slice of bread to soak up all the juices. If you are looking for a salad to go with it, I recommend a quick and easy Greek cabbage salad or a shredded beet and carrot salad. The recipe makes about 5 servings of beef and celery stew. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and consume them within 3–4 days.

If you love melted cheese, spoon the ground beef and bean sauce over the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with grated cheese, and return them to the oven until the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly. I like to serve them with a spoonful of cottage cheese or sour cream for a refreshing contrast that balances the sweet and savory flavors. On the side, you can keep it simple with some arugula drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, or try a classic Greek lettuce saladfor something extra fresh...

If you have any leftovers from loaded sweet potatoes store them in the fridge in a separate bowl with the meat sauce afor up to 3–4 days. I like to warm up the sweet potato first in a pan or the microwave, then the ground beef and beans sauce and top up the potato after. The meat sauce is also freezable for up to 2 months.
