Main Dishes
Melitzanes me tyria (Greek Eggplants with Cheese) is a deconstructed imam bayildi recipe I made, which however, is much lighter and healthier by roasting the eggplants and even tastier by adding peppermint and Greek cheeses, graviera and feta, which also add to the flavour.
This Lentil and bulgur Spicy salad is not Cypriot dish but some of its ingredients are much closer to Cypriot cuisine, as I was inspired to make it by a Bulgur Pilaf we make in Cyprus.
The ancient Greeks ate a lot of garlic and used to call it “The Stinky Rose”. Ancient Greek athletes competing in the earliest Olympic games did not turn to steroids to enhance their performance, but to garlic.
There’s nothing more satisfying than eating your own bread. To make this Cypriot bread, you need to use a ‘starter’ mixture that takes the place of yeast.
This Hummus Dip is a wonderful recipe which is based on the traditional hummus recipe but combined with roasted butternut squash and garlicky Greek olives.
Pirozhki or piroshki or Piroski (as we call them in Greece, with stress on the last syllable), are made from yeast dough and filled with a variety of fillings and are great for snacks, appetizers, lunch or dinner.
Spaghetti Pastitsio is a low fat pasta casserole dish, which is made with leftover spaghetti and bolognaise sauce, anthotyros cheese (similar to ricotta) and egg-less bechamel.
Chicken with Leeks is a very simple but delicious and light dish which can be whipped up in no time made with Greek yoghurt and pesto which makes a very creamy sauce.
This vegan Greek Fava Santorinis and Pumpkin Soup is made from scratch and is healthy, filling and perfect as a starter for a dinner party or a light supper.
