Risotto Like Gemista
Today’s recipe is a risotto that will take just like Gemista. Yes! I served this as one of my courses at a recent Greek Supper Club and it was a hit. The risotto get’s the “gemista” flavour from roasting and pureeing tomatoes and peppers. Clever!
Spanakorizo With Shrimp
Spanakorizo – a classic Greek dish which is literally translated as spinach-rice. There are subtle variances to the dish, depending on the household and my twist is to top it/marry it with shrimp.
Seafood Giouvarlakia Soup
The soup is finished with an egg/lemon emulsion we call “Avgolemono” and it does deliver!
Salmon Souvlaki
If a Greek can affix something on a stick, they will grill it! So far we have pork, chicken, beef, lamb, shrimp, octopus (that I can recall) and now, salmon.
Grilled Lobster with Red Curry Ouzo Sauce
There are many styles of curries (Indian, Japanese, West Indian) but this one is a thai-style.

The classic Greek version of cabbage rolls (Λαχανοντολμάδες) are finished with a creamy Avgolemono sauce, which is an emulsion of beaten eggs/lemon juice that is slowly incorporated with hot stock.
