Sea Bass Carpaccio
Today the fish is sea bass, tomorrow it may be sea bream or corvina the next. The ingredients are few: fish, salt, lemon, ground pepper, diced mild chili, Greek extra-virgin olive oil, chives.
Risotto Like Gemista
Today’s recipe is a risotto that will take just like Gemista. Yes! I served this as one of my courses at a recent Greek Supper Club and it was a hit. The risotto get’s the “gemista” flavour from roasting and pureeing tomatoes and peppers. Clever!
Grilled Calamari Skewers
While fried is everyone’s favourites, grilled calamari should get equal billing. It’s easier to prepare, less fuss and mess and it cooks quickly.
Spanakorizo With Shrimp
Spanakorizo – a classic Greek dish which is literally translated as spinach-rice. There are subtle variances to the dish, depending on the household and my twist is to top it/marry it with shrimp.
German Potato Salad
I present this recipe as a means of using up those leftover Easter eggs that have been cracked during Orthodox Easter festivities. However, after trying this German potato salad, you may find yourself making this version all year-round!
Lemon Shrimp Linguine
This pasta dish has been in my back pocket of recipes for over a decade. I can cook it on a weeknight, weekend, serve to house guests or catered events. It’s easy, quick, delicious!
Sous Vide Pork Gyro
When in Greece, one of the first things I’ll eat is a pork gyro wrapped in a pita. Slices of pork shoulder area seasoned/marinated then stack on a vertical rod then slow roasted on a vertical rotisserie. It’s juicy, flavourful, filling but…hard to duplicate at home.
Sous Vide Steak
Have you heard of “sous vide”? It’s a French word that literally translates to “under vacuum”. In more detail, sous vide is a cooking method that involves vacuum-sealing food then placing the packet in temperature regulated water bath
Poached Fish with Oil & Lemon Sauce
Poaching fish is another method to cook and enjoy fish. A rich sauce made of reduced poaching liquid, lemon, extra virgin olive, salt and pepper and some herbs.
