Favorite Greek Family Meals?

[kcixcy]

Our family is a big fan of Greek food, and we try to eat together about four times a week. I’m looking to expand our usual rotation with some new Greek meal ideas that are delicious and family-friendly. Right now, we have a few favorites:

1. Moussaka – the kids love the layers, and it’s filling for everyone.
2. Souvlaki – we do chicken or pork with pita and tzatziki, which always goes over well.
3. Spanakopita – I make it as a big pie and serve it with a side salad.

I’d love some suggestions for other Greek dishes that are easy to make for a family, maybe with ideas that include vegetables or unique Greek flavors we haven’t tried yet

Love this! It’s wonderful that your family enjoys Greek food! Here are a few ideas to add to your rotation:

• Gemista – Stuffed tomatoes and peppers filled with rice, herbs, and sometimes ground meat. It’s a veggie-packed dish, and you can customize it for picky eaters.
• Giouvetsi – A hearty one-pot meal with orzo pasta baked in a tomato sauce with beef or lamb. Top with grated cheese for extra flavor!
• Fasolakia – Green beans stewed in a light tomato sauce with potatoes and olive oil. It’s a simple yet flavorful way to add more veggies.
• Pastitsio – Similar to moussaka but with pasta instead of eggplant. The creamy béchamel sauce makes it a kid-pleaser.
• Dakos Salad – A Cretan specialty with barley rusks, chopped tomatoes, feta, and olive oil. It’s fresh, light, and perfect for a side or quick meal.
