KAPAMAS - LAMB IN AROMATIC TOMATO SAUCE
Kapama is the name given to many different aromatic meat stews in Greece. This particular recipe is from Evia, and I've included two of the island's major agricultural products, figs and green olives. It's a great Sunday meal.

Steps:
- In a large heavy stewing pot, heat olive oil and cook lamb, turning it frequently on all sides to brown evenly and lightly. Add the onion and sauté, stirring with a wooden spoon, until wilted.
- "Extinguish" the pot, as the Greeks say -- deglaze, in other words -- with the brandy by pouring it into the pot. Add the tomatoes, allspice, bay leaves, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Stir well with a wooden spoon to blend. Add, if necessary, enough water just to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until meat is almost cooked. Add more water, if necessary, during cooking to keep mixture moist and sauce from reducing too much.
- About 10 minutes before meat is done, Adjust seasoning if necessary, and stir in the parsley just before removing from heat. Serve with saffron rice.
CHICKEN KAPAMA - GREEK BRAISED CHICKEN IN SPICED TOMATO SAUCE
There are few things more comforting to me than a dish of slowly braised chicken stew with a richly spiced sauce. That's why this traditional recipe for Chicken Kapama - slowly braised chicken in tomato sauce with spices - is one of my all-time favorites.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325F
- Pat chicken thighs dry and season them with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- In a heated 7-9 quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the chicken in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 5-7 minutes per side. Work in batches if needed, as as to not crowd the pan. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Drain any excess fat from the pot.
- Return the pot to the heat and heat the remaining olive oil.
- Add the onion and stir. Cook for 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the carrots, celery, garlic, and ground cinnamon (if using cinnamon sticks, wait to add them). Cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the wine, vinegar, honey, and tomato paste. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, until reduced by half.
- Add crushed tomatoes and cook 5 minutes more.
- Return the chicken to the pot. Cover it with the chicken broth, add bay leaves and cinnamon sticks (if using). Pour in chicken broth or water. Stir to combine.
- Bing contents of the pot to boil. Cover the pot and place in the oven. Braise for 2 hours, or until tender.
- Serve over your favorite rice, potatoes, or pasta.

EASY CHICKEN KAPAMA
The traditional version of this Greek-inspired dish calls for a whole chicken to be broken down into parts, then braised in a fragrant, cinnamon-laced tomato sauce. This weeknight version instead calls for boneless, skinless chicken thighs, which are are much less work and less time-consuming to prepare. Like most braised dishes, this one tastes even better once the flavors have had a chance to mingle, so it's an ideal make-ahead meal. Serve it over buttered egg noodles or orzo with a showering of grated Parmesan or Greek kefalotyri cheese.

Steps:
- Season chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the ground cinnamon. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, cook the chicken until it begins to lightly brown in spots, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside. (If it's not cooked through at this point, that's O.K.)
- Add the onion and the garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion begins to soften and the garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt.
- Stir in the tomato paste, tomatoes, 1/4 cup water and the cinnamon stick(s). Add the chicken and any residual juices, stir to coat with the sauce and bring to a simmer. Turn heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes. Add a few tablespoons water if needed to thin out the sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.
- Serve the chicken over buttered egg noodles or orzo, if using, spooning the tomato sauce on top. Top with the herbs and grated cheese, if using.
