Tasty, easy and quick to make, this drunken meat stew (Mpekri or Bekri meze) is the perfect dish to share with friends over a glass of wine! Traditionally made with pork but its equally yummy with chicken if thats your kind of meat! Its the perfect Meze together with some delicious meatballs, fried calamari, dolmades and mini feta cheese pies!
Heat the olive oil to a large frying pan and sauté the pork/ chicken on medium heat for 5-6 minutes, whilst stirring.
Add the peppers and garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes.
In the meantime, boil the carrots until tender and add to the pan. Deglaze with the wine.
Add the tomatoes, salt, peppercorns, the ground pepper and the cumin. If you are using canned tomatoes, sprinkle some sugar to prevent the sauce from getting too sour.
Let it simmer in low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Cut the cheese in small cubes. Add to the pan while still hot and stir. Remove from the stove immediately and serve in a large bowl.
Enjoy with a glass of dry, white wine and some crusty bread!
