Greek Bifteki

Recipe by: Marlies Monika

Be the first to review it!

This is my own version of bifteki. They aren't usually made with cheese, but I find the feta makes them all the more tasty!. Serve on it's own with a Greek salad, or as burgers in a bap. These are also good baked in the oven.

Greek Lentil Soup (Fakes)

Recipe by: Diana Moutsopoulos

Reviews(1)

Fakes (pronounced 'Fah-kehs') is a staple in the Greek kitchen, and an especially filling and healthy meal. It is traditionally served with a drizzle of olive oil and lots of vinegar. Though the vinegar is of course optional, try it - it lifts the lentils and adds another dimension of flavour!

Greek Peas with Tomato and Dill

Recipe by: Diana

Reviews(1)

Peas are normally considered a side dish, but in Greece it is common to eat a plate full of vegetables as a main. This traditional way of cooking peas is so satisfying yet healthy - not to mention easy - it will most certainly become a favourite. Serve with crusty bread and feta for the ultimate meal!

Kagianas (Greek eggs and tomato)

Recipe by: Diana

Be the first to review it!

This is possibly the closest thing to a Greek fry up as you'll find! Also called strapatsada, this classically simple dish consists of just three ingredients: eggs, tomatoes and olive oil. You'll be amazed, however, at the complexity of flavour that is derived from such simplicity. Serve with crusty bread and feta for any meal of the day, or even as part of a meze spread.

Lemon and garlic chicken

Recipe by: Michael

Reviews(1)

I've been making this for years. I can prepare it in the morning and leave it to marinade all day. As long as you have chicken, a fresh lemon and garlic - you are all set to go! Serve with salad or this is especially nice with cubes of roasted potatoes, flavoured with rosemary.

This Greek-inspired pasta dish combines the quintessential flavours of the eastern Mediterranean - olive oil, tomatoes, oregano and feta.

Tyrokafteri

Recipe by: Diana Moutsopoulos

Be the first to review it!

This ubiquitous Greek dish is served as a meze, or as a side to chips. I also like it in sandwiches. The type and amount of chilli you use is up to you - the hotter you like it, the more you should add! This produces a rather mild tyrokafteri that should please everyone's tastes - start with half a chilli if you're timid. Serve with crusty bread or pitta for an unbelievably quick and easy nibble!
