Favorite 5 Greek Dishes?

[d_kakavouli]

If you could narrow it down to five dishes, what would be your favorites? Here are mine:

1. Koulourakia
2. Souvlaki
3. Horiatiki (village salad)
4. Keftedes
5. Pastitsio

How about you? Looking forward to seeing your responses! I am doing this to get out of my comfort zone a bit and see if I can't get inspired to cook some new dishes.

Love this! Here are my five favorites (though it’s hard to choose just five!):

1. Spanakopita – Something about flaky phyllo and the spinach-feta combo feels like home.
2. Youvetsi – That baked orzo with lamb or beef in a tomato-cinnamon sauce is comfort food at its finest.
3. Gemista – Stuffed tomatoes and peppers, especially when they’re roasted until slightly caramelized, are hard to beat.
4. Fasolakia – Green beans stewed with tomatoes and olive oil — so simple but so satisfying.
5. Loukoumades – Because life’s better with fried dough and honey.

This was a fun little food challenge — I might try your keftedes this week! I usually make them with mint and a side of tzatziki, but it’s been a while.
