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!
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!
