This type of classification helps to present recipes with another point of view and in an alternative manner. One thing is sure, there are many Greek recipes in this blog but there are also a lot of vegetable recipes, so I thought that a category for vegetarian and vegan (very trendy and for courageous people!) food might make sense. I also decided to include recipes coming from other cultures so I created an additional category for “Food for Around the World” :-) So enjoy :-)
Runner beans in tomato sauce (fassolakia)
These runner beans are really simple to make in their tomato sauce with onion and parsley! It’s light, easy, and quick to make! It’s perfect for a summer meal when you can find them fresh or even in winter if you use frozen! It’s really simple and good!
Artichokes "à la Polita" (like in Constantinople)
These artichokes are cooked along with potatoes, carrots, onions, and peas, and they are perfumed with dill and have the taste of lemon! It’s a Greek traditional dish and it’s very special and unusual but so tasty!
Frittata with spinach, leeks and feta
As you might know the frittata is an omelet cooked in the oven and it’s really good! This version has leeks, spinach, onions, cream and cheese (feta and gruyere or French comté)! It’s perfumed with dill and has the taste of a spanakopita (a Greek pie with spinach) without the phyllo crust! It’s really good and quite easy to make!
Very simple endives (chicory) braised in butter
These endives (chicory) are very simple to make and really good! They only have some butter and some water, and that’s all! So why try to make something more complicated ?
Raspberry Muffins
These muffins are really easy to make and sooo good! You don’t even need a mixer to make them ;-) And you can use fresh or frozen raspberries! Cinnamon brings its special flavor and everything goes well together :-) It’s so tasteful! It’s up to you!
Steamed french beans with dried garlic flakes and fig balsamic vinegar
French beans in the steamer are even tastier and this seasoning with semolina garlic and fig balsamic vinegar makes them even better! It’s a bit sweet and the taste of garlic with the sweetness creates magic!
