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.
Sous Vide Lobster Tails
sous vide lobster tails – place the lobster tails in bags along with butter, lemon, herbs – vacuum seal and cook in the water bath (sous vide). Cooked perfectly every time and the poaching liquid becomes the sauce.
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.
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
Taramokeftedes
A few years ago I made Taramokeftedes for a Greek Supper Club. The tarama was the base for making pseudo meatballs along with bread and lots of onion and herbs.
These turned out remarkably well and they are a great offering to help break up the monotony of eating the usual Lenten fare.
Shrimp Phyllo Pies
Earlier this month I served these shrimp filled phyllo triangles at my monthly Greek Supper Club and they were a big hit!
The inspiration comes from the Portuguese shrimp turnovers (rissois) I enjoyed last year during my trip to Portugal. I thought the filling would work as a filling wrapped in phyllo and I added Old Bay Seasoning as an accent for the shrimp filling.
A touch of Portuguese, a little Greek and a taste of the American south combine to make a tasty appetizer. I bet you can’t eat just one!
