Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a heavy pot that can be covered, combine
all the ingredients except the feta, walnuts and 1/2 cup parsley. Cover
tightly and bake for 1 1/2 hours or more, until the meat is very tender.
Lower the oven temperature during this time, so that the contents of the
pot remain at a gentle simmer. Skim off the fat.
Do not boil the sacue down; it should remain rather thin. Ladle the stew
into a deep platter. Granish with feta, walnuts, and the remaining
parsley.
