A family favourite, this traditional Greek meal goes next level with the addition of cinnamon, cloves and oregano!

Overview
My favourite type of cooking is simple cooking where family meals are produced by using the best quality ingredients, made with a minimum of fuss and the end result packing a bucketload of flavour. This ragu ticks all those boxes!
I was a bit of a picky eater growing up (no one ever believes it but trust me, my mum would tell you otherwise!) however if there was one meal that I remember with nothing but the fondest of memories, it has to be this! It was on constant rotation and absolutely never complained about!
Despite being quite a winter warmer type of dish, the ragu could easily be served in summer – our favourite summer version is simply to serve it with some pasta, mizithra and fresh oregano. The winter version is normally served with crunchy roasted potatoes or with rice…either way it’s ridiculously yum!
I also love the fact that it is a family meal that could easily be incorporated into meal prep for the week. It is a perfect casserole to cook one day and then pop in the fridge for one or two days later when you know you’re going to be a little short on time. Whilst cooking your pasta or rice, gently reheat the ragu and right there you have a beautiful nutritious family meal ready in no time at all!
I hope you enjoy the recipe!

Hi this looks great!
Could you please give instructions to make this in an oven.
I would like to make this today as is but the only difference is I would like to sear on stovetop then finish off in the oven.
I will also be using whole Cinnamon sticks & whole Cloves rather than the ground powder.
Many Thanks
Cathy

I ended up making this on the Stove-top and it was so Delicious!
And so Easy to make!
It was my first time making this classic Greek dish and I will definitely be making it again!
Thankyou for a Lovely Recipe!
