Giouvetsi is a traditional Greek dish typically made with beef, lamb, or chicken, slow-cooked with orzo pasta (or sometimes trahanas, as in this version) in a rich tomato-based sauce. It is commonly baked in the oven, but stovetop versions like the one above are also popular. The dish combines tender meat with flavorful ingredients like tomatoes, garlic, onion, and spices such as cinnamon and paprika, giving it a warm and aromatic depth. Giouvetsi is often served as a comforting family meal, enjoyed with a sprinkle of cheese on top. Its rustic simplicity makes it a staple of Greek home cooking.
