Greek Surprise Recipes
GREEK MEZZE PLATTER
Steps:
- Artfully arrange the marinated feta, red peppers, stuffed grape leaves and a small bowl filled with the hummus on a platter. Sprinkle the pine nuts over the hummus and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the pita chips on the platter and arrange the sprigs of thyme over the red peppers, for decoration.
- Combine the dried thyme, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Lay the feta slices overlapping on a 9 × 9-inch square serving plate.
- Sprinkle the feta with the entire herb mixture. Nestle the thyme sprigs and olives among the feta slices. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Serve at room temperature.

- Slice the pita bread into 8 triangles and place them on a sheet pan. Place the sheet pan in the oven and toast the bread for 10 minutes.
GREEK SURPRISE
Steps:
- Mix all ingredients.
- Roll into 12-14 balls. Form into patties about 1/2" thick. I make sure the middle is thinner than the edges of the patty so the middle of the burger is evenly cooked.
- Grill 4-5 minutes per side or depending how done you prefer your burgers. Serve on well toasted buns with favorite toppings.

DOLMADES - AUTHENTIC GREEK STUFFED GRAPE LEAVES W/ MEAT (SOUTHER
A good friend of mine is from Greece and his mom told him that it would be too difficult for me to make good dolmades. I wanted to prove them wrong. I researched different recipes and combined them to come up with this very yummy, very authentic, surprise for him. If you prefer dolmadakia with tzatziki instead of plain yogurt, just add peeled and chopped cucumber and garlic, olive oil and salt - all to taste. Kali orexi!

Steps:
- Unroll grape leaves and place in a pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to medium and let boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour out hot water, and cover leaves with cold water. Let soak while preparing stuffing.
- Knead the rest of the ingredientes together. Spoon filling inside a leaf and roll like a burrito, sealing completely.
- In large pot, add olive oil to cover bottom or butter. Arrange rolled dolmades on top. Do this all at once, not as you roll them. Pour chicken broth over dolmades, cover, and simmer for 2 hours.
- Serve with Greek yogurt and lemon wedges.

20 TRADITIONAL GREEK APPETIZERS - INSANELY GOOD RECIPES
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (3)Published 2021-07-01Category Appetizers, Recipe Roundup
- Spanakopita. Spanakopita is one of my personal favorites. To try this mix of flaky pastry and creamy spinach is to love it, trust me. This classic appetizer consists of a dreamy, gooey spinach and feta filling encased in buttery phyllo pastry.
- Greek Meze Platter. The best Greek chefs can pull together a loaded meze platter in minutes. Full of tasty morsels like meats, cheeses, spreads, and breads, it’s a mix and match meal that hits the spot.
- Greek Layer Dip. Dips make great apps. Not only can you make up a giant bowl with very little effort, they’re also guaranteed party pleasers. They’re ideal for game days and backyard BBQs.
- Feta and Greek Yogurt Pita Appetizer. This fun appetizer is what happens when two great cuisines collide and Greek pita meets Italian pizza. Soft, floury pitas are topped with a creamy mix of feta and yogurt.
- Greek Stuffed Cucumber Bites. If you’re looking for a light, low-carb appetizer that delivers both taste and healthy goodness, look no further! These cucumber bites are a refreshing taste of summer that’s ready in just 15 minutes.
- Greek Salad Skewers. Salad skewers are what I make for summer dinner parties when I want it to look like I’ve labored over dinner (when I actually sat around all afternoon watching daytime repeats).
- Greek Bruschetta. Bruschetta is an Italian favorite, but it gets a Greek spin here. The essential elements are the same – crusty bread, tomato-based topping – but there’s a definite Greek influence with hummus, tzatziki, and feta.
- Greek Puff Pastry Appetizers With Kalamata Olives. These pillowy parcels are fluffy, buttery bits of yum. Filled with a mixture of kalamata olives, red bell pepper, fresh oregano, feta, and spinach, they’re not just irresistible, they’re also packed with healthy antioxidants.
- Greek Meatballs. Bursting with big, bold flavors, these are not your average meatballs. Ground lamb is seasoned with lemon zest, oregano, and feta before being rolled into a ball and flash-fried until golden.
- Feta Dip Phyllo Cups. I love the look of these cute pastry cups, but I love the taste even more. Flaky pastry shells are stuffed with a creamy mix of feta, tomato, onion, basil, and garlic.
27 BEST GREEK RECIPES TO MAKE AT HOME - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
4.7/5 (21)Published 2021-02-09Category Recipe Roundup
- Skordalia. Hearty, rich, and flavorful, skordalia is a must-try Greek dip! This dish takes its name from one of its main ingredients, skordo, or garlic.
- Greek Salad. With Greeks’ heavy use of vegetables on their dishes, this roundup wouldn’t be complete without a proper veggie salad. You’ll only need seven ingredients to make this refreshing meal, and all of them are super easy to find at your local grocery store.
- Greek Lemon Potatoes. Roasted thick potato wedges are flavored with a garlic-lemon broth. This is one addictive dish! Besides the delightful taste of Greek lemon potatoes, they have golden crisp edges that make for a crunchy bite.
- Chicken Gyro. This Greek pita sandwich is loaded with chicken tenders, veggies, olives, and tzatziki sauce. Using a yogurt marinade for the chicken is the secret to its tantalizing flavor.
- Greek Butter Cookies. If you want to infuse Greek flavors into your next holiday meal, these Greek butter cookies are a must-have. These cookies may not be the best-looking, but when you take a bite, you’ll have to go back for seconds!
- Tzatziki. Tzatziki is a classic Greek meze (appetizer) that you’ll find in almost any Greek restaurant. This yogurt-cucumber sauce pairs well with gyros, grilled meats, and roasted vegetables.
- Spanokopita. Healthy spinach and creamy feta cheese are all wrapped up in crispy phyllo dough. This is one of those Greek recipes you won’t want to miss!
- Greek Fried Cheese. I thought the perfect appetizer for any meal didn’t exist until this Greek fried cheese (saganaki) came along. Crunchy meets gooey with this cheese, coupled with salty and zesty flavors.
- Greek Fries. Dressing up plain fries Greek-style has never been easy with this recipe. All you’ll need is a simple homemade seasoning and a couple of Mediterranean toppings.
- Greek Honey Cookies. Greek honey cookies are sticky, moist, and crunchy. In short, they’re to die for! If you’re looking for a new cookie recipe for the holidays, this is it.
