A traditional dish of Cretan Cuisine and particularly of Chania, where its main ingredient grows wild in nature, and which is now cultivated, Stamnagathi (spiny chicory)!
A simple and delicious combination of vegetables and meat. It is the healthiest version of consuming meat (Arnaki Fricassee).
Stamnagathi is one of the few vegetables that is equally enjoyable to eat raw, boiled or cooked.
It is best known from the coastal and mountainous areas of Crete where it grows wild, although in recent years it has been cultivated extensively in several areas of Chania.
We also find it wild in Central Greece, the Peloponnese and the Cyclades, even in Malta!
