Recipe by: Maggie Pannell

Halloumi is a firm-textured Cypriot cheese that's delicious char-grilled. Here it's served with red onions on a bed of soft salad leaves, then drizzled with a hot dressing. Serve with good seeded crusty bread.

Cheesy Spinach Filo Triangles

Recipe by: Kathleen

Reviews(1)

The only tricky part of this recipe is working with filo pastry, but once you get used to it - it's easy. Sometimes you get a batch of filo that rips and tears, so I always buy an extra just in case. I usually freeze these before baking. Just add a few minutes to the cooking time if you are cooking them from frozen. I have also doubled this recipe for large parties.

Diana's Roasted Garlic Tzatziki

Recipe by: Diana Moutsopoulos

Be the first to review it!

There are two keys to my version of this classic Greek recipe - straining the yoghurt for 24 hours and roasting the garlic. The former ensures that the tzatziki is a gorgeously rich (not runny) consistency, and the latter imparts a mellow garlic flavour. I use more than five cloves of garlic sometimes - it all depends on your mood!

This traditional Greek meze could not be easier to make, yet it always impresses guests! All you need is a block of feta and some crushed red chillies. This is also great made on the barbecue wrapped in foil. Serve with good crusty bread.

Garides Saganaki

Recipe by: MURDERSHEWROTE

Reviews(2)

This is a Greek recipe for prawn saganaki which is great as a starter or meze. It is a delicious dish that I'd only tried in restaurants, but when I tried to make it at home I found that I can make it just as well. Serve with nice crusty bread to mop up all the gorgeous sauce.

These little meatballs, made from a mixture of minced lamb and rice, flavoured with thyme, lemon and nutmeg, are grilled on sticks for easy eating - a perfect party nibble. The classic Greek egg and lemon, or avgolemono, sauce has a tangy flavour, which is a perfect complement for the meatballs.

Recipe by: Diana

Keftedes are economical, versatile and - above all - unbelievably tasty! These meatballs are baked instead of fried, but still get nice and crispy. Read my tips below for how to serve them as nibbles or make great use of leftovers.

My own famous dolmades

Recipe by: Patti Moschonas

Be the first to review it!

These are grape leaves, stuffed with a tantalising mixture of rice, fresh dill, mint and lemon. 'Yum' is the only one word to describe these. These can either be a main dish or a starter, depending on your appetite. Serve with good crusty bread and a Greek salad, if desired.

My Terrific Tzatziki Dip

Recipe by: kookinkitten

Be the first to review it!

This is a lovely cool, refreshing Greek dip that I first tasted and fell in love with in the Greek Islands. It is lovely with hot toasted pitta bread and veggies or lamb kebabs! The key is strain the liquid from the cucumber very well so the dip stays creamy and not watery and to ALWAYS use thick, full fat greek yoghurt, any low fat versions won't cut it. Enjoy!

Olivada

Recipe by: Katie Floyd

This is a quick, garlicky Mediterranean olive spread. Similar to the French tapenade, but without capers. Excellent served with good crusty bread.

Pumpkin and feta filo triangles

Recipe by: Diana Moutsopoulos

Be the first to review it!

Pumpkin is used as both a sweet and savoury pie filling in Greece. These easy party nibbles call for tinned pumpkin puree, the sweetness of which pairs brilliantly with the salty and piquant feta.
