I'm a big fan of Mediterranean cuisine and lately, I've been craving some authentic Greek olive bread. I've tried a couple of recipes, but I still feel there's something missing to make it just right.

Does anyone have any tried-and-true tips or secret ingredients that can elevate my Greek olive bread? I'm especially interested in:
  • Types of olives that work best
  • Tips for getting the perfect crust
  • Any herbs or spices that add authentic flavor
  • Baking techniques that ensure a soft, flavorful inside
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions! Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Authentic Greek olive bread, or "eliópsomo," is a delicious treat! To elevate your recipe, try using high-quality Greek Kalamata olives for their rich flavor. Adding a bit of fresh rosemary or thyme can enhance the taste.

Mix in some extra virgin olive oil from Greece for authenticity and extra moisture. A splash of ouzo or a pinch of orange zest can add a unique aromatic touch. Ensure your dough has a good rise for a light, airy texture. You can also sprinkle sea salt and sesame seeds on top before baking for that perfect finishing touch.

Simple Saganaki Recipe - Greek Fried Cheese

I usually just like to order this when I go out, but I found this recipe and thought I'd give it a try. It was surprisingly easy! I wanted to share:

Ingredients:
  • 1 block of firm Greek cheese (about ½ inch thick): kefalotyri, kasseri, or graviera work best
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • Olive oil (for frying)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
  1. Rinse the cheese slice quickly under water – this helps the flour stick.
  2. Dredge the cheese in flour on all sides, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat olive oil in a small nonstick or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Once hot, add the cheese and fry for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
  5. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
I don't do the Ouzo part by the way, so I left it out I don't like the flavor of it and I fin the fire to be a little scary!

Can you make stifado with Octopus?

I’ve made beef and rabbit stifado plenty of times, but I recently heard someone mention an octopus version and now I’m intrigued. Has anyone here actually tried making octopus stifado? I imagine the texture and cooking time would be really different from meat, but I love the idea of combining that tender, slow-cooked octopus with the rich, cinnamon-spiced tomato sauce and pearl onions.

Would you cook the octopus separately first and then add it to the sauce? Or do you let it stew the whole time like you would with beef or rabbit? I have vaguely heard of it being possible to make this with octopus. Now that it's summer I am in the mood to eat lots of seafood.

Summer Meze for a Guy's Night?

I’m hosting a casual guy’s night next weekend and want to keep the food simple but solid. Thinking of going all-in on a summer Greek meze spread instead of doing a big main course. Cold beers, good music, and a table full of small plates sounds perfect for the heat.

I’ve got a few ideas already: spicy tirokafteri, grilled loukaniko, some fried zucchini with skordalia, maybe dolmades and olives. I’ll probably throw some grilled pita on the side and maybe a Greek salad too.

But I’d love to hear your go-to suggestions. What would you put out on the table for a group of guys hanging out on a warm summer evening? Anything easy to prep ahead or serve at room temp would be great. Bonus points for meat-heavy meze or something you can grill.

Fava Santorinis Recipe to Enjoy

I had this when I was in Santorini and I loved it. I tracked down a recipe and wanted to share!

Ingredients:​

  • 1 cup yellow split peas (ideally from Santorini, if available)
  • 1 small red or yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional but adds depth)
  • 4 cups water (plus more as needed)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon, or to taste)

Instructions:​

  1. Rinse and soak (optional):
    Rinse the yellow split peas well under cool water. Soaking is optional, but if you do soak for 2–3 hours, the cooking time will be shorter.
  2. Cook the peas:
    In a pot, add the split peas, chopped onion, garlic, bay leaf, and water. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam that rises to the surface.
  3. Simmer:
    Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 40–50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are soft and starting to fall apart. Add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove bay leaf & blend:
    When the peas are soft and the mixture looks thick and mushy, remove the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender (or food processor) to purée until smooth. Add olive oil and blend again. Taste and add salt and lemon juice.
  5. Chill or serve warm:
    You can serve it warm, room temperature, or chilled — all are traditional!
  6. Garnish:
    Drizzle with extra olive oil and top with red onion slices, capers, and parsley.

I serve it with other meze with pita triangles for dipping!

Making Crispy Greek Fries Tips?

I’m trying to master homemade Greek fries, you know, the kind that are golden, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and loaded with oregano and sea salt. I’ve had them in tavernas in Greece and nothing I’ve made at home comes close.

I’ve tried both russets and Yukon Golds, but I’m not sure about the best type of potato for this. Do you parboil first or go straight to frying? I’ve also read some people do a double-fry method — is that key to the crunch?

Also curious about oils, olive oil vs. sunflower vs. something else entirely. And how do you get them to stay crispy if you’re making a big batch for a crowd?
