I just ate Greek-style lamb ribs at a restaurant and it was delicious.

I haven't had them before, nor can I find recipes.

What can I do? Should I marinate them in ladolemono? I thought I tasted that sort of flavor...

Traditionally paidakia are seasoned with salt, oregano and lemon juice. Usually a bit of olive oil is smeared on the meat before grilling and once cooked they sprinkle salt and drizzle lemon juice. That’s it. Of course I will be the first to admit that I have experimented with adding mustard or marinating them in yogurt sauce, or adding all sorts of flavors like rosemary and garlic, paprika, red pepper called bukovo)

My family made something like this and it was a very simple preparation like your first option, Pemi, and I always prefer the simple way. However, I always seem to want to experiment! I haven't tried the yogurt sauce yet but I might!

Greek Dishes with Almonds

I remember driving through Crete that there were a ton of almond trees. Yet, when I think of nuts that are used in Greek cooking, I automatically think of walnuts.

Do Greeks cook with a lot of almonds or does it depend on the region? What do they typically do with them? I know you can use almonds in baklava...

How do you make your cabbage salad?

I love Greek cabbage salad. My family makes it very simply with cabbage and a ladolemono. I add feta cheese because, why not LOL.

I have had other versions with other veggies and a different seasoning - like one version I had blended cabbage with carrot and had an apple cider vinegar dressing.

How do you guys do it?

Grilling a whole chicken?

I have to feed a crowd soon and I decided to grill whole chickens... I am trying to figure out the best way to do it. I need to grill maybe 4-5 whole chickens. I don't have a spit.

I was thinking to butterfly them and marinate them in a ladolemono, then grill them until they're cooked, rotating them often. Do you think this will work?

Easy Saganaki Recipe

I thought I'd share a simple method for how I make saganaki. I have had different versions of this, I honestly like other versions better, but this is the easiest for me to do!

I slice one of these cheeses thick:

Kefalotyri, Graviera, or, Kefalograviera

Then I dip it in water on each side and coat it in flour that had been seasoned with salt and pepper.

I add olive oil to a small frying pan and set the heat on medium high. When the oil is hot I add the cheese. Basically, I sear it like I would anything else and serve it hot. It's fast and easy and a crowd pleaser - I do this when I have company.

I have never doused it in Ouzo and set it on fire like they do in restaurants, I am legitimately concerned I might burn my hair or something! Should I add this step, though? I could always tie my hair back...

Food Tour of Greece?

I want to take a food tour of Greece, and I only really have time for one destination. Where do you suggest I go? Some possibilities:

- Stay in Athens the whole time
- Crete
- Ikaria
- Thessaloniki

Really, any place in Greece would be good I imagine! Is there a site that has actual guided tours? I know I could just go somewhere and eat and explore on my own, but I want to meet locals, maybe even cook with some people.
