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.
