Lamb And Vegetable Stew Recipe For Your Thermomix

August 8, 2020 by Chrystalla Tzaneros Leave a Comment

Lamb And Vegetable Stew

Yiayia’s Trelou, Trelou, Lamb And Vegetable Stew

    Τρελου, Τρελου – Crazy, crazy Lamb and Vegetable Stew is a recipe Thermomix recipe I converted from my Yiayia (grandma) Yvette. She says this is the recipe her mum would make them when she was using up everything in the fridge. With 13 brothers and sisters, the food had to be stretched out as much as possible. If they didn’t quite have enough meat to feed the whole family, then it would just be left out. You could use up any veggies you have on hand. That’s why it’s called trelou, trelou – crazy, crazy! Might have to record Yiayia saying this one for you! I still find it a real tongue twister.

    It’s a red based stew with some really surprising flavours. My hot tip for you would be to adjust the spice to taste!  Like it really hot? Double the peppers! Does your tongue just burns at the sight of peppers? Maybe skip them altogether. It definitely does bring in the unique flavour profile though.

    Please let us know if you make any variations to this recipe by sharing your tips with our facebook group or leave a comment on the blog.

      50g tomato paste
      400g water

        2. Scrape down sides and add some of the olive oil (40g). Cook 3 minutes/100 degrees/speed 1.
        3. Add lamb pieces (800g), tomato puree (400g) and the tomato paste (50g) and cook 5 minutes/100 degrees/reverse/slowest speed.
        4. Add water (400g), peppers (2), salt (1 tsp), butter (30g) and cook for 15 minutes/100 degrees/reverse/slowest speed.
        5. Add carrots (155g) and cook for 10 minutes/100 degrees/reverse/slowest speed.

        NOTES

        • Reduce the amount of water and meat if using a bowl that is smaller than 2.2L. Do not exceed your bowls maximum capacity. This recipe has been catered for the MAXIMUM for a large serve. Reduce the quantities if preferred. Start by reducing the meat by 200g.
        • Replace the butter with more olive oil to make it dairy free.
        • If you like more heat, add more peppers.
        • You can change the type or cut of meat to your preference. Try beef strips or cubes, chicken tenderloins or chicken thighs. Cooking times may vary.
        • The point of this recipe is to use up all the bits and pieces in your fridge. Any vegetable could really be used. Try adding some potatoes with the carrots. Add some mushrooms with the zucchini. Swap the spinach for silver beet.
        • Serve with some mash potatoes instead of rice.
        • Serve it with some homemade Greek Yoghurt – recipe available in the Mezze cookbook.

            This brings back some wonderful childhood memories of family dinners and the mouth watering smells wafting through the house. Thank you for “Thermomixing” the recipes to make it easier to recreate them for my family. Well done girls!!!

          • Sarah

            I have made two items so far from the cook book. The traditional greek yogurt, so yummy and so easy. I was happy I could make it thicker than I usually buy it. I also made the rice pudding which was amazing and also very easy. I normally don’t like rice pudding so was very happy with the recipe. I’m looking forward to cooking all the other yummy recipes especially the cheeses and the souvlaki.

          • Bec & Joe The 4 Blades

            Amazingly, the girls were able to cater for us (with the weird and wonderful selection of foods that don’t work for us!) We felt like we had won the food lottery!

          • Marianne Baker

            I am so so excited to see a Greek cookbook coming out for the thermomix!!! Hoping I can wow my big Greek family with some of the recipes!!
