About the dish

Gida vrasti is a traditional dish originating from Greece. It's usually made with a combination of goat meat, carrots, onions, garlic, potatoes, celery, bay leaves, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. The meat is covered with water, boiled, drained, and the pot is then refilled with fresh water and brought to a boil. Salt, bay leaves, oregano, potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, and bay leaves are then cooked in the broth, and the meat is added to the pot again. The dish is cooked until everything is tender, and lemon juice is added near the end of cooking along with the seasonings. Gida vrasti is served hot, often with lemon wedges on the side.
