Greek Sausages (Intro)
I am a big fan of sausages and when I go to Greece in the summer, it’s a joy to have an array available from the market. The choices vary, depending upon where in Greece you are but let’s do a run-down of Greek sausages.
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.
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.
Shrimp Phyllo Pies
Earlier this month I served these shrimp filled phyllo triangles at my monthly Greek Supper Club and they were a big hit!
The inspiration comes from the Portuguese shrimp turnovers (rissois) I enjoyed last year during my trip to Portugal. I thought the filling would work as a filling wrapped in phyllo and I added Old Bay Seasoning as an accent for the shrimp filling.
A touch of Portuguese, a little Greek and a taste of the American south combine to make a tasty appetizer. I bet you can’t eat just one!
Tomato Fritters
If you’vevisited Santorini, you’ve tasted their local specialty, Tomatokeftdes (Tomato Fritters).
Fried Chicken (The Best)
If you’re a fan of fried chicken and you want to try making it at home, this recipe is for you.
Beef Lemonato With Zucchini
I had this beef with zucchini last summer in Greece. One of my aunts cooked it and with a few tweaks, I’ve made my own version.
Chickpea Salad with Beets & Feta
This salad is easy – basically dump and mix. Like any recipe, you can adjust the amounts in the ingredients.
