Turkey Pastitsada
Another variation using leftover Turkey from Canadian Thanksgiving.
No-Churn Olive Oil Ice Cream
With summer here, one of the ways I like to cool off (and treat myself) is with a scoop of ice cream. One flavour I want to bring to your attention is olive oil ice cream. Sounds strange but it’s delicious!
Juicy Grilled Chicken Thighs
If one were to ask what are classic Greek flavours, my mind goes to olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano. That’s pretty much how we serve up chicken, be it roasted or on the grill.
Beef Lemonato With Zucchini
I had this beef with zucchini last summer in Greece. One of my aunts cooked it and with a few tweaks, I’ve made my own version.
Spinach Salad with Radicchio & Feta
Radicchio is in the chicory family, can be eaten raw in salads but I’ve seen wedges of it grilled as well. It grows best in Spring and Fall and most grocery stores carry it.
Beside this being a tasty salad, it’s also an attractive one with the green and purple contrasts. Some crumbled feta, walnuts and you’ll find this salad refreshing and filling.
Icelandic Ocean Perch with Rice
Icelandic ocean perch is wild-caught, sustainable and abundant around the waters of Iceland and in season from April to September. Ocean perch feed mostly on crustaceans, which explains why this fish is so tasty!
Citrus Olive Oil Cake
Greeks like using olive oil in a lot of our cooking, including desserts. A fruity olive oil works well with this cake and the result is always moist.
Avgolemono Soup
The soul of the soup is Greek: we finish off many soups with an egg/lemon emulsion that makes a soup tangy and creamy.
