Fresh Fig and Feta Salad With Toasted Walnuts

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 12:03:09 -0400

It's fig time here in SW France, and I have been busy making up new fig recipes, as well as making jams, pickles, alcohol steeped figs and chutneys with all our harvest! This was thrown together one Sunday afternoon as a starter for a lazy Al Fresco Sunday lunch - and since then I have had requests for it nearly every day! If you are lucky enough to have a fig tree, try and garnish the individual plates with a couple of washed leaves - it really adds a certain panache to the appearance of the salad! I have made this with Chevre - Goat's Cheese as well as Feta, and it was just as delicious. Amounts given are for a starter for 6 people - and assuming that the figs are medium to large in size; please adjust the quantities if necessary. Toasting the walnuts beforehand is well worth the effort, and if you toast more than is needed, any excess can be stored in an airtight container. -- posted by French Tart

Fri, 21 Sep 2007 17:18:36 -0400

This is a great and simple salad. It's made of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, Kalamata olives and green bell peppers, just to name a few. A fabulous vinaigrette follows. Regarding the fresh herbs, strip the leaves from the stems and chop. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Spanakopita

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 22:22:40 -0400

I love this recipe for spanakopita. The cream cheese makes it extra creamy. I have only made the full-fat version, so far. I am planning on using all low-fat or fat-free cheese the next time I make it. I don't know if there would be a taste difference or not. I am also planning on layering it in a pie next time too for an entree rather than an appetizer. These can be made ahead of time and either frozen or refrigerated. Reheat in oven. -- posted by katheros

Three Cheese Cauliflower [soufle Kounoupithiou]

Any pointers would be great, this is the first time I've written up a recipe - so any advice, anything I should add, omit, et. Al would be much appreciated. This is a Greek side dish, which actually can make a nice main course as well. If cauliflower isn't really you bag, you can replace it with broccoli. I got this recipe, along with a few other ones, from a file a friend of mine sent me. It's surprisingly good, and filling. -- posted by Searid

These are small Greek turnovers with a delicious feta cheese filling. They are best served fresh from the oven, while still very very hot, with cold drinks (retsina goes very well with feta). Makes a wonderful appetizer, or serve with Greek salad for a light supper. From Anna Thomas' The Vegetarian Epicure; suitable for ovo-lacto vegetarians. -- posted by Halcyon Eve

This is a truly delicious and easy vegetarian quiche that my family love. Its so simple to whip up on a weeknight and even though it has no meat is substantial enough to satisfy the hungriest of kids or partners. The subtle flavour of basil in this impressive quiche gives it that extra special "something" and you could easily add in spinach or any of your other fave vegies to make it your own. -- posted by Brittney_xo

Besy Spanakopita Ever!!!

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 01:25:39 -0500

I altered this recipe from the Greek restaurant that I work at and out of the many variations of spanakopita I've tried, fresh, authentic or frozen, this is easily the best. My dad dislikes spinach and he thinks this is just wonderful. Also, you'll want to rinse the spinach after you take it out of the bag because it sometimes has sand in it. -- posted by Taste The Lightning

Amazing Watermelon Greek Salad With Feta

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:31:52 -0400

This refreshing salad will surprise you and your guests with how well the flavours work together. At first, it might seem strange, but one taste and you will be hooked. The cool, crunchy watermelon is the perfect base for the pungent, greek flavours - it's a perfect balance of savoury and sweet. A similar salad was served to me at a cafe a few years back. I had always remembered it and finally decided to try to recreate it. This is about as close to the original I could get. :) ***note*** Feel free to experiment with flavours. Try adding in some fresh basil OR fresh mint in place of the balsamic vinegar. Or leave out the vinegar altogether. -- posted by grumblebee

Cauliflower and Feta Omelet

Fri, 02 May 2008 10:32:24 -0400

Fantastic! I tested this omelet on Sunday, when they took a deep breath in the kitchen!It was in the February, 2008 edition of Gourmet Magazine, Ruth Cousineau. There were little bites of cauliflower sauteed in spicy EVOO which gave the open-face omelet texture; and the feta(which I won't be able to use for the residents)lends it a nice and salty flavor. After thinking about it we decided that we would add "crumbles" of cheddar. It is delicious! -- posted by Manami

The Traditional Cyprus Sandwich With Halloumi, Onions and Tomato

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:41:02 -0400

I first had one of these wonderful sandwiches just after I had moved to Cyprus; I remember sitting in an old, rundown taverna with a chilled Keo beer, whilst gazing out towards the deep blue Mediterranean Sea! Bliss! They are usually made in long, fat finger rolls, similar to hoagies or sub rolls, but you can also make them with pitta bread or other shapes of bread rolls. Halloumi is a traditional Cypriot cheese, which is still made locally by lots of Cypriot ladies - you often see the cheeses "hanging out to dry" in old, but hopefully clean (?) tights or stockings! Halloumi is an extremely good cheese for cooking, it maintains its shape and becomes toasty and slightly salty when fried or grilled. You can buy packs of good quality Cypriot Halloumi cheese in most supermarkets or in a delicatessen. It can last for up to ONE year when bought in a vacuum-sealed pack! Halloumi is the Greek Cypriot name for this cheese, the Turkish Cypriots call it Hellim - it is the same cheese however, and the best cheese is made with 100% sheeps milk. You will find these sandwiches all over Cyprus in different guises, this is my favourite combination. -- posted by French Tart

Manouri Cheesecake With Wine Poached Peaches and Phyllo Cigars

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:03:05 -0400

The simplicity of Greek cuisine forces the use of fresh, flavorful ingredients, which then become the focus of the dish, rather than complex preparations and cooking techniques.

For instance, while everyone knows Feta cheese, Manouri cheese is not as well known, and we use it exclusively in our cheesecake recipe. - Chef Chris Georgou of Trata.

Summer Time Easy Courgette - Zucchini Carpaccio

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:49:09 -0400

A delightful and very elegant summer starter dish that is fresh and easy to make. The combination of the parmesan cheese with the hazenut oil and black olives is a very sophisticated flavour, making this a wonderful dish to serve before any special summer dinner party. If you cannot get hold of hazelnut oil, walnut oil would be a good substitute. Green olives can also be used, but the colours will not be so dramatic! Try to use FRESHLY grated/shaved parmesan cheese from a block, the taste is far better than the pre-packed grated cheese. Wine suggestion - a chilled Chablis or Chardonnay. -- posted by French Tart

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:51:00 -0400

These are great for the freezer, so the time is well used. If you're not familiar with phyllo dough, you'll get the knack quickly with this recipe. Follow the rules on the package, defrost in the fridge for a couple of days, keep dough covered when not in use. There are 20 sheets in the package --I cut the package in half, and put one back in the freezer. When defrosted, I run my knife through all layers lengthwise through the centre. That way I have enough to make 40 triangles. Enjoy! :) -- posted by slb2008

Almost Like Cpk Greek Pizza

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 01:03:38 -0500

I REALLY like California Pizza Kitchen's Greek Pizza. It's light, refreshing and I found myself thinking about this pizza so much, I had to find a way to make it at home. This recipe is a work-in-progress and would love to hear your suggestions. I'm basing this recipe off of some of the information found here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080930103528AA7XB96 I obviously made tweaks here and there. CPK doesn't use Hummus, but I personally thought that would be good and was pleasantly surprised that it worked! You can obviously use Bread/Pizza Dough, but I don't have that kind of time after work so I did use store bought Flatbread/Pitas and Hummas. The Chicken can be marinated in the rub and/or cooked before hand. The Prep Time can also be reduced by chopping the veggies and making the Tzatziki sauce the night before. Serving size is negotiable. 2 6" pita pizzas is a serving in our house, but if you serve this with a salad you could probably go one each. Can be veggie just by omitting the chicken. -- posted by Tarteausucre

Thu, 21 May 2009 10:19:16 -0400

Saganaki is a cheese-based Greek appetizer. The original Greek version is typically fried. The cheese is typically made from sheeps milk. Delicious regional variations include the use of Formaella cheese in Arachova and cheese in Cyprus. In the United States, saganaki is made differently. Instead of being fried, the cheese is usually covered with Brandy extract, and set aflame at the table when served (typically with a shout of Opa). The cheese is then extinguished with the juice of a fresh-squeezed lemon and sometimes served with pita bread. The invention of the Flaming Saganaki is usually attributed to Chicago restaurateur Chris Liakouras. What were going to be making is a pan-fried version with slices of ripe tomatoes. -- posted by tha ARTIST

Fried Halloumi Cheese Salad

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:08:51 -0400

Found this in an obscure magazine and have made it several times for dinner party appetizers, and it was raved about by all. Simple, quick and delicious! Halloumi cheese is a semi-firm white cheese that is native to Cyprus and can be purchased at most supermarkets. It doesn't melt but browns up nicely. The oil and lemon dressing is simple but complements the cheese perfectly. Spring mix greens should contain some frisse and arugula to be perfect, but almost any will do. -- posted by Dug

Braised Leek Salad

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:45:36 -0400

Created by Chef Aaron Bashy for "Chef on a Shoestring." The CBS Saturday Early Show challenge was to create a gourmet 3 course meal for 4 people for less than $20. I love leeks, but often find them overpowered in dishes where they aren't the main attraction. This recipe really showcases the leeks in all their subtle glory by caramelizing them and then adding just a few ingredients to complement the leek itself. In fact, the recipe features 3 of my favorite ingredients: leeks, feta cheese and Kalamata olives. Can't go wrong with that combination. To prepare leeks, trim off the tough dark green bits and the roots. Cut in half lengthwise then swish in a bowl of clean water to remove the sand and sediment that gets trapped between the rings of the leek. The wine is optional, but recommended. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!
