GREEK - Summer 2021 (Jul-Sept) Cuisine of the Quarter

No idea

Greek Mil Fay , made with crackers/cookies and instant pudding is the Greek transliteration of the more complicated Mille Feuille.

Bouyourdi existed before Boyardee, so maybe Chef Boyardee is named after baked feta.

Named after a tax document

I’m looking at different giouvetsi recipes re: spices.

My version is typically chicken/ meat, tomato, onion, cinnamon, oregano, bay leaf.

I’m going to try a version with my usual ingredients, with the addition of allspice and nutmeg. Some other recipes include clove and/or cumin.

Some vegetarian giouvetsis

My giblet giouvetsi, with onions, garlic, paprika, oregano, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and clove.

The one I usually make doesn’t have wine, paprika, allspice, clove or nutmeg. Will not add wine or paprika next time- it tastes good, but almost like goulash, which is a different flavour than the giouvetsi we are used to.

This was a nice meal last night. I used regular tuna in oil instead of smoked tuna, and I used some Carbone marinara and fresh cherry tomatoes instead of 400 grams of fresh tomatoes. I left out the sugar.

Cypriot koulourakia cookies contain mastic, mahlepi and clove, rather than being mostly flavoured with orange juice and zest, as most Greek koulourakia recipes are flavoured.
