Greek Style Roast Chicken Thighs
The flavour profile here is classic Greek: lemon, garlic, salt, pepper, dried Greek oregano. This chicken is best with roast potatoes or fries and it’s doable weeknight or weekend.
Mushroom Kritharotto
I’ve wrote about/shared a dish called kritharotto – it’s basically cooking kritharaki (Greek orzo) in the style of risotto. Ladles of stock are added to the pan with the pasta as it gets absorbed – giving one a creamy finish to the dish.
Makalo With Keftedakia
Makalo is a Macedonian gravy. You’ll find in the kitchens of northern Greeks’ home in Florina and Kastoria and I’ve read, as far south as Karditsa in Thessaly.
Makalo is basically a gravy. You have oil, (stock), spices and seasonings. My mom would often add a bit of tomato (that was our family’s twist).
It’s a sauce I remember my parents, aunts and uncles always ate. It’s a gravy made for dipping, poaching eggs or simmering keftedes or chicken.
Loukoumades me Krema
Loukoumades are very popular with kids and adults alike. You have to try Loukoumades me Krema (custard)…it’s dreamy!
Chocolate Bougatsa
Bougatsa….you’ve come a long way! Most of you are familiar with Bougatsa with custard, cheese filling, spinach and cheese, meat filling and the most authentic being “sketi” with no filling and topped with sugar.
Around 10 years ago I was in Greece in Spring and stopped in at a shop to have a bougatsa and to my surprise, they one with chocolate. Croissants have various fillings…why not bougatsa I thought? I am glad I try it…while decadent – it was delicious. A chocolate lover’s dream!
Artichoke Moussaka
This vegetarian version of Moussaka uses artichokes as the “meat”. I’ve updated the recipe to make it easier to prepare without sacrificing any flavour.
