Abby's Souvlaki

Recipe by: Abby Benner

This is my version. Use a very tender cut of pork for this and thread onto skewers and barbecue. Serve with a Greek salad or wrapped in pitta with tzatziki.

Avgolemono

Recipe by: Michelle Chen

Reviews(1)

This is the most popular of Greek soups. The name literally means 'egg and lemon', the two most important ingredients that produce this light and nourishing soup. Usually made with homemade chicken or fish stock, garnish this quick and easy version with fresh lemon slices.

Beef Stifado

Recipe by: Lolly B

Reviews(1)

This gorgeous Greek casserole with beef and onions is perfect winter comfort food. Serve with lots of crusty bread to mop up the aromatic sauce. It is also typically made with rabbit, so feel free to substitute this if you wish.

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!

Feta Psiti

Recipe by: Diana

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.

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Cubes of lamb flavoured with a mixture of garlic, lemon and fresh oregano are cooked on skewers and served with a Greek-style tomato and cabbage salad and pitta bread for a deliciously aromatic main dish.

Greek olive and onion bread

Recipe by: healthyfoodie

This is a lovely bread to add to a Mediterranean meze table. Use black or green olives and try it toasted, drizzled with a little olive oil and rubbed with roasted garlic.

Greek Village Salad

Recipe by: Lynn Clarke

Reviews(5)

A summer classic. My version calls for tomatoes, olives, feta, peppers, onions and cucumbers, all sliced, chopped and tossed with a great dressing - red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice and herbs.

Kalamari Macaronatha

Recipe by: Tiny Poem

Be the first to review it!

This is the easy version of the classic Greek dish macaronatha, which is octopus in a delicious tomato-based sauce served over macaroni, then topped with grated sheep's milk cheese.

Keftedakia with avgolemono

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

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.

Keftedes (Greek meatballs)

Recipe by: Diana

Be the first to review it!

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.

Lamb steaks with feta and mint

Pick good, fresh and alive mussels for this dish, the fresher the better. This recipe is simply amazing in flavour. You will love it. Serve with a slice of bread.

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!
