Greek Specialty Food
May 4, 2020 16:42:20 #
Ever since seeing AP's posting of that wonderful Greek soup, I wanted to taste more Greek specialty foods. I got the recipes out, went to the Greek import store, bought the ingredients and started cooking. The wife was gone for the day and as long as I cleaned up, I would live for another day.
The pictures represent a pasta and meat dish called Pastitsio and stuffed grape leaves called Dolmades. The sides are Dodonis Greek feta, Large Kalamata olives, Tzaziki dipping sauce, and extra virgin olive oil from the island of Crete. Hope you like.

Did you make the Dolmades? And, I grew up eating Pastitsio.

Yes I made the Dolmades. When I was younger, many years ago, we would actually pick the leaves off of the vine.

Great job preparing and presenting these wonderful dishes. You took the initiative and did it well. Cooking recipes our parents prepared at home, photographing the result and sharing it with family and friends is a labor of love. You must be proud.

Thank-you for such a heart warming comment. Remembering my mother and growing up in a Greek family makes it worth the the time it takes to make this ethnic food.

Nice images but I don't recognize anything on those plates.
Then, my friend, your culinary education is wanting, and you really should seek out a good Greak restaurant and enjoy. Wish I could join you to share in your experience.

Oh, you make me so hungry! I had some when I visited Greece, but mostly when I lived in Nebraska. There was a little place in Omaha with the best Gyros I've ever had. Not like the skimpy ones we get out here with only 2-3 slices of meat – they were stuffed full of meat and came with chunked potatoes baked in butter and parsley, all for $1.59! Wonderful!
