Omg all of the ideas are so yummy. I would also add greek locanico (sausage) which you can find at a greek store or even some supermarkets. Also since you are on the grill you can throw on some pork shoulder steaks. They cooked amazingly and they are very tender. Cut them up in smaller pieces...

A gastra is a cooking vessel thst is oblong and is made from clay. For this reason, the pot is heated evenly and cooks evenly. It has a lid that fits tightly onto the base, so the steam does not escape and condenses on its interior and drops back into the food without any waste of flavors...

Growing up in Greece in the 80s and early 90s. All the food we would eat would be seasonal. Even the fish and meat were somewhat seasonal as well. There was certain fish we would eat in the winter and other during the summer. Lamb and goat would be mor in abundance during spring and summer...

They usually make their own aioli.

Greek vegetable casserole is called Briam. It usually consists of zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, parsley, onions, garlic, and a very good amount of greek olive oil. Now with that being said, you can sub different veggies if you would like. We do have a great recipe of Briam in our...

Hi pharao45 The recipe looks, I would definitely omit the peperoncini as well as the mint. These are the ingredients list for a traditional Kopanisti. Greek Feta Olive Oil garlic peeled Red Pepper Flakes Tomatoe paste (for color) roasted red pepper salt and pepper

i love to grill in the summer. Even though there are some amazing summer dishes that need to be cooked in the oven like gemista or imam, but nothing can beat some chicken souvlakia and a side of tzatziki. I usually grill chicken that has salt pepper and then I drizzle it with ladolemono. I...

Do you return the ingredients back into the pot after so you can slowly heat the eggs and stabilize them?

Hi voula_slat You are right, Greek cuisine has its typical dishes that lets say are more mainstream. But there is a whole other world of dishes if you were to explore the regions of Greece. Also different ways of cooking methods. We do have a greek cookbook call “Cooking Greek” but the recipes...

Asparagus is not so mainstream in Greece. That dosent mean that they don’t use asparagus in dishes. Until recently asparagus was foraged. Greece didn’t have asparagus cultivated on its land, I remember my Papou would go out in the fields and come back with various xorta plus Asparagus. They were...

Yes absolutely they use mayonnaise. It’s definitely not their top condiment of choice but it has become mainstream. As for Αγιoλί or Aioli, they live to dio their fries and seafood!

Vanilla wafer cookies work wonderfully. It is more traditional to make it with these cookies. With that being said you can add anything to a good kormo recipe and give it your own twist.

Unfortunately the green we eat in Greece are very different than the ones we find outside of Greece. And I’m not referring to spinach, I’m referring to dandelion greens and amaranth. They seem to me to be more tender and flavorful in Greece than outside. Olive oil and plenty of it as well as...

Did you drain the eggplant? That would be the most obvious reason. Over cooking it would break it down making it mushy.

Tsatsiki is always a staple on the Easter table. It pairs well with the lamb.

Yes you can absolutely use pork. They make stifado with wild boar in Greece all the time. Let us k is how it came out

Lima or ( Butter beans) work wonderfully, as do Great Northern Beans. Just be careful because each bean has a different cooking time. For example Great Northern Beans needs more cooking time (2+ hours) than Lima/ Butter beans (1+ hours). This is not including soaking time. I have never used...
