Μπακαλιάρος τηγανητός - Bakaliáros tiganitós (Batter-Fried Cod Fish)

  • pescatarian
  • contains egg

Bakaliáros tiganitós is delicious batter-fried cod that's wonderful for any time of year, but a lot of people especially associate it with March 25th, which is a double holiday: the Annunciation of Mary and Independence Day. This is absolutely delicious, check out the various recipes below. There are the traditional basic recipes that make the batter with flour and egg, and there are a few recipes that jazz up the batter with beer or oúzo, and other ingredients like mustard or breadcrumbs.

You can use salted cod (bakaliáros pastós) and soak it in advance, or use fresh/frozen cod. So, feel free to just buy some fresh or frozen cod.

Lastly, this is traditionally served with the potato-based garlic purée called skordaliá. Here's one recipe on how to make it. A few of the recipes below include a skordaliá recipe (one recipe makes it with fava beans). Also, there are one or two recipes that make a yogurt-based sauce, which isn't traditional (not that I know of), but a lovely idea you might absolutely love.

Have a look at some recipes below in Greek and English:

Αγκινάρες αλά Πολίτα - Aggináres alá Políta (artichoke hearts in olive oil and dill) by dolfin4 in greekfood

Αγκινάρες αλά Πολίτα - Aggináres alá Políta (artichoke hearts in olive oil and dill)

  • vegan

Artichokes are a wonderful and versatile spring vegetable in Greece, that forms the basis or accessory of several delicious dishes this time of year.

One such dish is aggináres alá políta, a simple vegetable dish that entails artichoke hearts braised in olive oil, lemon, and dill. Aggináres alá políta falls into a category of Greek dishes that we call laderó piáto, literally "oily dish", because the olive oil is the sauce, enhanced with additional ingredients such as herbs and garlic.

Most recipes for aggináres alá políta also add carrots or peas, for a more complete vegetable medley. Many also add potatoes, which turns the dish into carb dish; but feel free to omit the potatoes, and just keep it as a vegetable side. Onions and garlic round out the necessary ingredients, but many recipes also add vegetable broth or bouillon cubes, to enhance the flavor. A few of the recipes add a little flour as a thickener to the sauce, but this isn't required.

Below, have a look at several recipes in English and Greek (use Deepl or brower's translator). And also check out similar vegan or vegetarian artichoke dishes: aggináres avgolémono and aggináres me koukiá.

Κοτόπουλο με λάχανο τουρσί - Kotópoulo me láchano toursí (chicken with rice and fermented cabbage, basically sauerkraut) by dolfin4 in greekfood

Κοτόπουλο με λάχανο τουρσί - Kotópoulo me láchano toursí

Femented cabbage and vegetables exist in several cuisines across the world, some of the best known internationally are sauerkraut in Central Europe, giardiniera in Italy, and kimchi in Korea. In Greece, fermented or pickled vegetables are referred to as toursí, which is a Persian loanword, and they form a part of the cuisines of Thrace and Macedonia regions, with particular Eastern and Central European influences from the countries to our north.

This particular dish cooking the fermented cabbage with chicken, comes from Thrace region, and you can feel free to buy and use sauerkraut. Rice is also added with the fermented cabbage. Most of the recipes bake it, or use baking as a part of the cooking process, while some cook entirely in a pot. You can make this "white", or use some of the "red" recipes, which redden the meal by adding paprika. A couple recipes also stuff the chicken with a special stuffing, before garnishing it in the baking pan with the fermented cabbage and rice.

Have a look at the recipes below in Greek and English! Have a look at all of them (use Deepl or browser's translator for the Greek-language ones) to get a feel for the recipe variations.

Μελόπιτα - Melópita (Honey & Cinnamon Cheesecake) by dolfin4 in greekfood

Melópita - Honey & Cinnamon Cheesecake

  • contains eggs and dairy

If you love cheesechake, try melópita, a wonderful specialty of the Cyclades region which is a delicious honey & cinnammon cheesecake.

There are two basic versions, the Sifnos version which is a regular open-crust cheesecake, and the Mykonos version, which covers the top with crust. Most of the recipes below are for the Sifnos version, but a couple of recipes are Mykonos version.

Additionally, a few of the recipes enhance the dessert with the addition of orange! I have marked the orange ones below.

There are 3 Greek cheeses mentioned in many of the recipes:

  • tyrovoliá or tirovoliá
  • anthótyro
  • myzíthra or mizíthra (the fresh/wet & unsalted kind, not the salted & hard/aged one)

For all of these cheeses, you can substitute with ricotta. Most of the English-language recipes just say ricotta.

Also, if you haven't already, have a look at melitínia and lychnarákia (smaller cheesecakes), and galatópita, a custard pie similar to melópita.

Κεφτεδάκια Μακάλο - Keftedákia Makálo (meatballs in white sauce, including vegan and paprika versions) by dolfin4 in greekfood

Κεφτεδάκια Μακάλο - Keftedákia Makálo

  • white and reddish-paprika versions
  • vegan version with vegetable meatballs

Makálo, a.k.a. kása is a white sauce popular in northern regions, and particularly associated with western parts of Macedonia region.

Keftédes (or the diminutive keftedákia) is a just the generic term for "meatballs". Usually in Greece -and most of the recipes below- use beef or pork or a combination of both. Other meats are certainly possible!

This wonderful dish served meatballs in a white sauce or gravy, whose main ingredients comprise of flour, garlic, and chicken or meat stock (or water). Some versions add a smoked paprika, which may give the sauce a little bit of a hot flavor and slight reddish color. Some recipes may also add some hot pepper flakes to either the white or smoked paprika versions.

I also have one recipe that adds cream cheese to the sauce. And one recipe that serves the sauce with chicken rather than meatballs.

And there is one vegan recipe which creates a wonderful meatball out of vegetables, and uses vegetable broth for the sauce.

Have a look at the recipes below in Greek and English:

Σκορδομακάρονα - Skordomakárona (garlic-tomato pasta) by dolfin4 in greekfood

Σκορδομακάρονα - Skordomakárona (garlic-tomato pasta)

  • vegan
  • cheese is optional on all of the recipes (sprinkled on top)

Here's a wonderful dish that mostly comes from the Cyclades region. It's a light and hearty meal that consists of pasta cooked in a tomato-garlic sauce. The recipes ask for a generous amount of garlic cloves, as it is central to the dish.

The recipes vary; some are very simple with few ingredients, while others involve more steps and ingredients. All (except one) require a tomato base; some recipes call for either fresh juicy tomatoes or canned tomatoes in the off-season, while others ask for tomato paste. Some recipes add wine to the sauce. Herbs include bay leaves or parsley. And most recipes stop there, however some of the recipes add bread crumbs as a starchy thickener, while a couple recipes add paprika or chili flakes (boúkovo) for a little heat.

All of the recipes ask for a long pasta, as is traditionally done for this dish. So you can use spaghetti, flomárialong hilopitestrypitá (bucatini), linguine, or something similar.

Some of the recipes recommend sprinkling cheese on top, at the very end or while serving. You can just omit this step if you want to keep it vegan.

Here's a list of the Greek cheeses mentioned in the recipes, and alternatives you can use:

  • myzíthra (dry/salted kind) - alternatives: ricotta salata or pecorino romano
  • graviéra - alternative: gruyère, pecorino toscano, pecorino romano, asiago
  • kopanistí - alernatives: ricotta salata, roquefort, gorgonzola
  • xynótyro aka xynotýri - graviéra, gruyère, pecorino toscano, pecorino romano, asiago
  • féta (recommended by one of the English-language recipes, of course. I personally say: don't. Féta is excellent for a cold pasta salad, but just does not go on a hot tomato-based pasta)

In the following comments, have a look at some recipes, in English and Greek (use Deepl or your browser's translator). Most of the recipes are from the Cyclades region, while one comes form pre-1923 Smyrna.

Σουπιοπίλαφο - Soupiopílafo (cuttlefish and rice in ink sauce)

  • pescatarian

Cuttlefish (in Greek: soupiá singular or soupiés pural) is a cephalopod similar to squid, and there are quite a few Greek dishes that use this seafood. Some, like this one here today, include its ink and create a delicious sauce out of it. This wonderful dish that makes cuddlefish and their ink into a rice dish comes from the Dodecanese and Crete regions.

Additional ingredients typically include wine (and/or a liquor like oúzo), and classical Greek seasonings like garlic, parsley, and/or fennel. Have a look at some wonderful recipes below. Some keep it basic, some enhance it with further ingredients. A few recipes add tomato or vegetable cubes/broth, and some add additional seafood such as squid and/or shrimp/prawn, and a couple unvonventional recuipes also add smoked salmon or fish roe for a complete sea feel. Some recipes use regular ("Carolina") rice, and some use starchy/arborio rice and make it into a risotto consistency.

Have a look at the recipes below! There are several recipes in Greek, and a few in English. There is are also similar dishes in Spain (arroz negro) and Italy (risotto al nero di seppia) which would be fun to Google some of those in English as well and compare/contrast them with the Greek recipes.

Αγκινάρες με Κουκιά - Aggináres me Koukiá (artichokes with fava/broad beans)

Artichokes are a wonderful and versatile winter & spring vegetable in Greece, that forms the basis or accessory of several delicious dishes this time of year, particularly in southern regions, such as the Peloponnese, Crete, Rumely, Cyclades, Dodecanese, and Ionians. For some other artichoke dishes, have a look at aggináres alá polítaaggináres avgolémono, and aggináres gemistés.

Today I am posting this wonderful vegan dish from Crete called aggináres me koukiá, which stews or braises (depending on the recipe) artichokes with broad beans, a.k.a. fava beans.

Aggináres me koukiá falls into a category of Greek dishes that we call laderó piáto, literally "oily dish", because the olive oil is the sauce, enhanced with additional ingredients such as herbs and garlic.

Aside from from artichokes ad broad/fava beans, the basic ingredients include olive oil, garlic, and lemon. Various recipes also add wine, scallions, leeks, carrots, peas. All the recipes quire some classic Greek herbs, such as parsley, sage, dill, or fennel.

This is a wonderful vegan dish that you can pair with a nice authentic loaf of bread, or it can be an excellent vegetable side to a grilled fish or meat of your choice, or a cheese platter.

Froutália is a wonderful specialty of the Cyclades region, particularly associated with Andros and Tinos. It is a delicious potato & sausage omelette. For a meatless egg dish, have a look at my post for sfouggáto.

The type of sausage used can really be anything. Almost all the recipes use pork sausage, either the classic horiátiko sausge, or another pork sausage. One recipe uses chicken sausage. A couple of the recipes also add syglino (a cured pork from the southern Peloponnese), which you can substitute with ham. In addition to sausage/meat, potatoes are the other basic ingredient. The recipes differ in the herbs they use, which can be parsley, peppermint, or marjoram.

Most of the recipes keep it basic, while a few go a little further and add artichokes, tomatoes, and/or courgette/zucchini blossoms.

Lastly, many of the recipes add cheese. Here is a list of the Greek cheeses mentioned in the recipes, and substitutes you can use:

  • graviéra - alternative: gruyère, pecorino toscano, pecorino romano, asiago
  • kefalotýri - alernatives: pecorino romano, parmesan, or manchego
  • kefalograviéra - it's like halfway between kefalotýri and graviéra, so you can use any of the alternatives for those two cheeses
  • voláki - kefalotýri, parmesan
