We’ve posted a lot of Greek pies on this blog, all of them wonderful, scrumptious and ideal as comfort food. But the one we’ve got for you today is the one that you’ve been waiting for! (And wondering why it took us so long to post it!)
And even if autumn is to end in a few days, pumpkins are still the season’s favorite ingredient. Combine them with feta cheese and you get one of the finest Greek savory pies!
Stifado is one of our most favorite dishes usually served on Sundays or feasts. It’s a very rich dish, intense in flavor, mostly due to the fact that it has quite a lot of onions in it. And we’re not talking about one or two!
In today’s post we introduce you to an easy dish, meaning something that you can make in no time at home after a tough day, but also incredibly delicious and full of Greek flavors.
Aubergines (or eggplants) are mainly a summer vegetable but they can still be found in autumn in most parts of Greece. It’s a good occasion to make today one of our favorite aubergine dishes and in the same time say goodbye to a glorious Greek summer!
Andros is one of the biggest islands in the Cyclades. It’s close to the Attica coast, therefore it is a popular weekend destination for the Athenians. A rather attractive island, it owes its charm to the elegant architecture, slightly different from the typical Cycladic one that we see in the other islands.
As every island in the Aegean, Andros boosts its own unique cuisine, of which the most popular dish is Froutália (or Fourtália)
When exploring Greek cuisine, eventually you’ll find out that our favorite ingredient is the tomato! Especially in summer we use tomatoes everywhere in almost every dish! But that’s not just by chance. Greek tomatoes in the summer are the best, having been cultivated under the glorious sun, so juicy and with an intense flavor that makes you wish it could last forever!
There’s no doubt that our favorite summer appetizer is thinly sliced zucchinis fried in olive oil! They’re so scrumptious, so delicious that you’ll find yourself having a hard time trying to stop eating them!
They go very well with a glass of beer, some retsina wine or even better a glass of ouzo on ice!
