Non- Creamy Potato Bake With Feta and Olives

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:50:30 -0400

This is an unusual but extremely tasty potato bake, my family find it a welcome change from the usual creamy bake. Rich in colour and flavour, I often also add thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes to this, about 100g, which lends a nice tang. It comes from The Vegetarian Kitchen. NB no matter how I try, in the ingredient list, 'potatoes' is showing up as 'potato'.... its supposed to be plural! That would be one BIG potato!! -- posted by Karen Elizabeth

Greek Rice and Spinach for Steaming in Pressure Cooker

Thu, 29 May 2008 00:39:17 -0400

I love almost everything that Toula Patsalis included in "The Pressure Cooker Cookbook". It is important to read her instructions carefully. "Bring to HIGH STEAM" is different from "under HIGH heat, bring to HIGH PRESSURE". (I ruined a paella by assuming she meant High Pressure!). This recipe calls for steaming. This is Mediterranean cuisine, suitable for the Lenten season. -- posted by KateL

Fettuccine With Parsley Butter in Pressure Cooker

Greek Baby Potato Kabobs

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 23:23:55 -0400

Plan ahead the potatoes need to marinate for at least 2 hours, baby white potatoes work well also --- make certain to soak your bamboo skewers in cold water at least 30 minutes before placing the potatoes on --- try to use good size baby potatoes for this as you will need to slice them in half and make certain that they are all pretty much the same size for even cooking --- I have listed garlic powder, you may use fresh minced but I find that the fresh garlic tends to burn somewhat during the grilling, the choice is yours :) -- posted by KITTENCAL

Yigandes Plaki - Greek Baked Beans & Tomato Casserole

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 02:22:36 -0400

This is a traditional vegetarian Greek dish. The main ingedients are of course, the huge beans & tomato.....try to find original yigandes (gigantes, gigandes) beans at a Greek or ethnic market for this dish, otherwise use the biggest lima beans you can find. Recipe by: Nancy Gaifyllia.She says "Restaurants serve this as a meze (in small portions), but because of the quantity in which it's fixed, unless you're planning a selection of mezether for a large gathering, it works better as a main dish" Time to make doesn't include soaking time.

Make this only if you are a lover of Greek food, this is a full flavored rice with intense flavor --- since not everyone has a taste for olives I have left them as optional, I most always add them in -- after making this a few times you will most likely want to adjust some of the ingredients to suit your taste, or you may not, the amounts listed are close to what I use when I make this rice --- this is very good! -- posted by KITTENCAL

Zucchini and Sumac Fritters With Tomato and Mint Salsa

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 17:39:04 -0500

These fritters could be served as appetizers, as a side dish or as one of several vegetarian dishes. It's the closest recipe I've found for some delicious zucchini fritters I ate and loved some years ago, though I'm pretty sure that they didn't have sumac in them, and sumac adds a lot of flavour. When I inquired after the recipe at the time, the Greek woman who'd made them she named the key ingredients but was very dismissive of them. I felt as if to her it was if I'd asked how to make something as simple as say a basic bread and butter sandwich with a slice of cheese in it! This recipe is from the Australian Women's Weekly's 'fresh food fast: delicious no fuss healthy recipes'. Australian brown onions are what Americans call yellow onions. Sumac, if you've not used it is defined (in the same recipe book) as "a purple-red astringent spice ground from berries that grow on shrubs that flourish wild around the Mediterranean; has a tart, lemony flavour. Found in Middle-Eastern food stores. Substitute: 1/8 teaspoon five-spice plus 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper plus 1/8 teaspoon all spice equals 3/4 teaspoon sumac". I've found that I can purchase it readily from more upmarket supermarkets and European delicatessens. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Spiced Sirloin Rice (Teta Rice)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:32:49 -0500

My Grandmother (Teta) made this dish as an accompaniment to Chicken, Pork, or Lamb dishes. My son will make a meal out of it on its own. The yogurt and pine nuts really enhance the flavour, but are optional. To truly enjoy this I would not recommend using ground beef. It also very easily reheats and can be frozen as well. -- posted by King Lu

Garlic Feta Toasts With a Warm Olive Spread

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:39:43 -0500

I don't know about you, but I'm a bit of a soup and salad person, and once a week I have just a salad or soup/salad, soup/sammy for dinner rather than a heavy dinner. I make this quite often and serve it with a bowl of my potato soup or my chick pea soup, but you can use whatever you like best. Slice a few good fresh tomatoes or some fresh fruit if you prefer, and you have a great easy dinner. Two (2) nights a week, I really try to eat a bit lighter - and this fits the bill. But, it also makes an amazing appetizer, or a great side dish for any meal during the week. Simply put, it is just really good. Now whatever you do ... don't get rid of that cheese - Save! It makes a great spread on baguettes or makes an amazing spread for a sandwich. It will last a couple of weeks in the refrigerator covered. and, make all this ahead of time and just heat up, toast and serve. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Tomato and Fetta Salad

A Greek inspired salad of fresh tomato halves, fetta cheese, olive oil and herbs. Perfect side dish for a meal, or wrapped up in a piece of flat bread it makes a great sandwich. It is absolutely essential to have good quality tomatoes for this dish. Little mini roma tomatoes are ideal, or any vine-ripened or organic fruit. -- posted by becy
