6. Nina Fri 26 Jun 2009 @ 13:24 FOR KOKKINISTO: REMOVE THE CHICKEN WHEN READY AND TRY TO BOIL SOME PASTA -RIGGATONI OR PENNE- IN THE SAUCE, ADDING SOME BOILING WATER IF NECESSARY. SERVE THE PASTA AND ON TOP THE CHICKEN. JUST WONDERFUL!

7. Justyna Sat 30 May 2009 @ 12:45 Adel - as far as I know it's greek.

11. Adel Tue 26 May 2009 @ 02:17 This dish was an absolute cracker of a casserole! The flavours were rich and tasty. Definitely a regular addition to our cookbook. Can I ask what nationality this is? Is it moroccan by chance?

16. aristotelis Sat 16 May 2009 @ 20:26 it depends from the spices and the onions you use if you call it kokkinisto stifado or pastitsada but it is defenatly a base for a lot of greek reciepts

20. Robert Cancian Mon 11 May 2009 @ 22:58 HI Jamie,
I think u are an awesome chef!!!! Would you have any ideas for an entree style lamb to go with a dark red wine!!! Having wine tasting would like some fresh ideas if possible.

21. Sophia Sat 09 May 2009 @ 10:49 Yes, it is greek!!! But it's more like stifado with the baby onions.. Still kokkinisto applies to any food cooked with tomato sauce....
Etsi, xrusanthi?? ;)

22. Sami Sat 09 May 2009 @ 09:16 Can you tell me what to replace wine in recipes for as I cook for a 1 year old girl whom loves interesting food. I know the wine etc cooks out but still do not want to put in to the dish????? Many thanks Sami and Izzy xx

23. Shareezma Thu 07 May 2009 @ 12:32 this sounds awesome, i really want to make this dish but i really need a substitute for the wine there. I can't take anything alcoholic :(

24. Chrysanthi Wed 06 May 2009 @ 16:55 This is a greek food!!!!!Kokkinisto is a greek word!Kokkino means red!We call this food kokkinisto because we use tomato sauce!
