One of the most flavourful and diverse cuisines you will ever find comes from the land of ancient Greek gods, black sands of Santorini and the Parthenon temple. Often called the cradle of Western civilisation, Greece is also home to some of the world’s most delicious cuisine. Greek food offers a stunning array of fresh ingredients, exotic herbs and spices and tender meat, poultry and seafood. With such a wide range of flavourful ingredients coming together, how could you go wrong when choosing a local Greek restaurant for dinner tonight?
Having said that, let’s take a look at some of the top Greek dishes you have try:
Deep Fried Cheese Saganaki- saganaki basically means fried cheese. A perfect appetizer before any authentic Greek meal, saganaki is crunchy on the outside, with warm melted cheese on the inside.
Grilled Haloumi- often served as an appetiser, Halloumi is a firm, white, brined cheese made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk.
Seafood Tagliatelle- Seafood Tagliatelle is a hearty seafood pasta made with shrimp, clams, mussels and scallops, then tossed together with spaghetti in a homemade tomato sauce. Seafood Tagliatelle is served best with a glass of white wine.
Mousaka- Moussaka is an eggplant, or potato-based dish, which includes heavily seasoned ground meat and a thin white sauce. It is a very popular main dish that can be served either hot or cold.
Stifado- stifado, sometimes spelled Stifatho, is a stew made with meat, poultry, seafood, game, or a vegetable as the central ingredient. Then, onions, tomato, wine or vinegar, and a selection of spices are added and the mixture is simmered for hours until it is tender and fragrant and a gravy has formed.
Lamb Kofte- köfte are meatballs made from lamb and served with warm flatbread, raw onions, and plain yogurt. Some Greek restaurants will serve their kofte with a bright, tangy yogurt sauce instead.
Souvlaki- souvlaki is a popular Greek fast food made with small pieces of pork, chicken, beef or lamb and vegetables grilled on a skewer.
