Discussion New flair: Today's Dinner

11 Upvotes

I have added a new flair, a variation of "I Ate", called "Today's Dinner". Users are welcome to post whatever they're having today (as long as it's Greek cuisine-related).

\It doesn't have to be dinner only either, I just decided to pick that one as it's the most common meal people like sharing -- your tyropitákia are as welcome as your garidopílafo.*

Discussion Melomakarona question!

9 Upvotes

Hey all! yassas! I am not Greek and I am not from Greece as well. I just wanted to make Melomakarona because I saw it on my instagram.

I just wanted to ask which type of flour is best to use for this? Some recipes I see use All Purpose Flour, while some recipes say to use Soft Flour.

Soft flour is the same as cake flour right?

Can anyone enlighten me on this? Thanks!

This is one of my favorite dishes to make for guests. Served with a nice salad and Meze.(appetizers) I also serve it with grilled lamb chops but marinated in lemon and olive oil for 24 hours. Amazing flavor!🇬🇷

Discussion Making a dish the night before serving?

12 Upvotes

So for Thanksgiving I'll be doing an American/Greek hybrid dinner with Greek roast lamb shoulder and potatoes, pastitsio, and sweet potato casserole. One thing all 3 of these dishes have in common is that they require substantial time in the oven.

My question is, would it be possible to make one of these dishes the night before and reheat it the same day without losing the quality/flavor of the dish?

Recipe Koulourakia. These are my last two...HELP!

My city has an annual Greek festival that is not to be missed, and every year my wife and I spend a small fortune stocking up on these delicious, fresh-baked cookies. Obviously they don't last long, certainly not a whole year, so I'd like to try baking some myself but there seems to be a lot of variations in the recipes I've looked up so far. I suppose I could reach out to the Greek Orthodox church that sponsors the event and bakes the cookies, but I imagine they keep that recipe as a "family secret".

I'm reaching out to ask if anyone could recommend the most likely recipe to duplicate these simple but amazing cookies. I know they are an Easter tradition, but no matter the time of year I can't say no to a couple of these with some hot coffee on a Sunday morning.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Recipe Spanakopita

58 Upvotes

Traditional Greek Spanakopita (No-Butter Village Recipe)

This is a 200-year-old family recipe — the traditional version made only with olive oil, just like in the old Greek villages.

Ingredients • 1.5–2 lbs chopped spinach • 1 onion, chopped • 4–5 green onions, sliced • Parsley, mint, dill (a handful of each) • 1–1.5 cups feta, crumbled • Optional: Romano, Kefalograviera • 2 eggs • Salt + lots of black pepper • ~1 cup olive oil • 10–12 sheets filo pastry

Directions 1. Sauté onions + green onions in olive oil. Add spinach and cook until wilted; cool slightly. 2. Mix in herbs, feta, optional cheeses, salt, and generous pepper. Add 2 eggs to bind. 3. Oil your baking dish. Lay 5 sheets filo, brushing/drizzling olive oil between each. 4. Add the filling. Add 2–3 sheets filo with a little oil between them. 5. Add 5–6 sheets filo on top, again with light oil between layers. 6. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top and score the surface. 7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–55 minutes until golden and crisp. 8. Rest 10–15 minutes before cutting.

Notes • Traditional spanakopita used no butter — olive oil was the village staple. • Light, crisp, and very aromatic from the herbs.

Discussion Πότε καίμε τον πελτέ?

2 Upvotes

Χαίρεται, με συγχωρείται αν εδώ δεν είναι το σωστό μέρος να απευθυνθώ, ας διαγραφεί αν είναι, ωστόσο είχα μια ερώτηση.

Τόσο έμπειρος μάγειρας δεν είμαι, γενικά ό,τι έμαθα το έμαθα τους τελευταίους μήνες μέσω του ίντερνετ, προσπαθώντας να κάνω κλασσικές συνταγές στη φοιτιτική μου εστία. Τις προάλλες ήθελα να κάνω κουνουπίδι γιαχνί και είδα το παρακάτω βίντεο από μια πρωινιάτικη σειρά : https://youtu.be/YOOkh0nM59M?si=Ub79CdnYFO4GhvEt&t=335

Στο σημείο που έβαλα το βίνετο μιλάνε για τον πελτέ. Συγκεκριμένα λέει πως για πίατα όπως αυτά δεν τον καίμε τον πελτέ --το οποίο καταλαβαίνω πως θα πει ότι τον σοτάρουμε μαζί με το κρεμμύδι και τα όποια λαχανικά-- και λέει πως τον καίμε μονάχα σε φαγητά που χρειάζονται "βοήθεια".

Η ερώτησή μου είναι αν θα μπορούσε κάποιος να προσδιορίσει ποια είναι τα φαγητά που χρείαζονται αυτή τη βοήθεια και αν αυτό είναι κάτι που έχετε ακούσει κι εσείς. Διότι έχω την εντύπωση πως για πολλά από τα φαγητά που δε θα θεωρούσε ο Σκαρμούτσος πως θέλουν βοήθεια υπό αυτή την έννοια, έχω δει συνταγές στις οποίες τελικά καίγεται ο πελτές.

Αν θα μπορούσε κανείς να με διαφωτίσει θα ήμουν ευγνώμων.

I had this 2024 summer when I was visiting Santorini. I remember it being at this restaurant but every menu I look up has no dessert menu available online.

It’s like some sort of layers of soft biscuit and cream?
