Spetzofai: Greek Sausage and Pepper Stew (weird name, greeek taste!)

[Updated 26/02/2025]

Spetzofai is a rustic Greek dish made with country-style sausage, peppers, eggplants and tomatoes, simmered together in olive oil. 
This one-pot meal is perfect for cooler weather, offering a balance of savory, spicy, and tangy flavors.
