STARTER
Salata Roka me Finokio kai Portokali
Arugula Salad with Fennel Root & Orange
Arugula is a roket, making this a fabulous choice with fennel root and oranges. Pearl or boiler (small) onions contribute a sweeter taste than other onions.
Soupa me Garides Shrimp Soup
This soup is a classic Greek dish. Often compared to the French bouillabaisse, any Greek will tell you that it's tastier and easier to make! Traditionally made with the catch of the day, the selection of fish and seafood can be changed with the seasons, as long as the fish are fairly small and suitable for boiling.
MAIN COURSE
Moussaka me Melitzanes Moussaka with Aubergine
Moussaka can be any dish of layered vegetables and ground meat. Other Greek versions call for aubergine, potatoes, and zucchini, or a combination, but this is the classic known worldwide.
Halloumi wrapped in red pepper with lemon & chilli
Halloumi is a fabulous cheese from Cyprus and a favourite in Greek cooking. Because of the firm texture of the cheese, grilled Halloumi will soften but won't melt and become gooey.
SIDE DISHES

DESSERT
Karythopita Greek Spice Cake with Syrup
Of all the recipes for this Greek cake, this is favourite, and the recipe comes from Cephalonia (Kefalonia), an island in the Ionian Sea. It calls for a touch of self-rising flour and results in a wonderful dark spice and nut cake soaked in a sweet, slightly spicy syrup. Served with vanilla whipped cream and touch of orange zest. |
