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!
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!
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!
Briámi (or briám) is a very simple summer dish made with season vegetables. It’s one of those dishes that don’t take much of our time to prepare, they don’t need any peculiar ingredients- just fresh summer vegetables and everyone in the family enjoys eating! That’s why it is a common option for the family cook, so common that it’s usually served at least once a week in summer!
It’s the time of the year when we seek for healthier and lighter food. Root vegetables are really great right now. The best way to cook them in order to make them even tastier is to roast them.
