GREEK - Summer 2021 (Jul-Sept) Cuisine of the Quarter

The kourabieda looks good, too. A local shop sells them as the Mexican wedding cakes, kind of expensive, but guaranteed to give me Marcel Proust madeleine-like flashbacks to my youth and yia-yia.

The Zucchini and Feta Bake, as well as Eggplant Feta Pie look interesting to me.

I have DK’s Ikaria cookbook, but haven’t cooked from it much. Gifted to my Greek SIL’s and a nephew too. One SIL spent a week or so on Ikaria and loved it. The cookies are adorable! Abruptly switching subjects, do you happen to have a good recipe for the orange flavored Greek sausage? I’ve been toying with making a batch lately.

I don’t have a recipe for loukaniko - I haven’t made it.

Please let me know when you make it.
I wouldn’t mind a tried tested and true recipe.

Will do! Maybe, now that the pressure’s on, I will actually do it. Stay tuned.

Hmm. I wonder if “bouyiourdi” derives from Chef Boyardee, the way the pastries called sarali derives from Sarah Lee.

Phoenikia · 2022-10-13T18:30:14.486Z

No idea

Greek Mil Fay , made with crackers/cookies and instant pudding is the Greek transliteration of the more complicated Mille Feuille.

Bouyourdi existed before Boyardee, so maybe Chef Boyardee is named after baked feta.

Georgina Hayden pork gyro link If you make gyro meat, what is your best "go-to" recipe for it? - #72 by Phoenikia

I’m looking at different giouvetsi recipes re: spices.

My version is typically chicken/ meat, tomato, onion, cinnamon, oregano, bay leaf.

I’m going to try a version with my usual ingredients, with the addition of allspice and nutmeg. Some other recipes include clove and/or cumin.

My giblet giouvetsi, with onions, garlic, paprika, oregano, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and clove.

The one I usually make doesn’t have wine, paprika, allspice, clove or nutmeg. Will not add wine or paprika next time- it tastes good, but almost like goulash, which is a different flavour than the giouvetsi we are used to.

Enjoy Crete. The food traditions are interesting there, and more distinct than other regions, IMO. I couldn’t find a pork with greens and black eyed peas, but I found this https://www.dianekochilas.com/black-eyed-peas-with-greens-and-fennel-mavromatika-me-maratho/. Crete has a lot of different greens available (horta) Also, some nice cheese pies, that are different than standard tiropita. If you get a cheese pie, try drizzling it with a little honey.
