Beef Stifado

stifado

Ever since I came back from my summer holiday in Greece, I've been thinking about making stifado. I bought a book with Greek recipes on my way back from Corfu, and I made the stifado according to the recipe in the book. It's a traditional Greek dish made with beef, small onions and a lot of different spices. In our, Macedonian, cuisine we have a similar dish called chomlek (чомлек), and I like it a lot, but there's something about the stifado recipe that makes it exotic and natural at the same time. And, I almost forgot - I pronounce it my favorite. That explains why there are so few photos, I couldn't lose time in taking photographs, the entire house smelled divinely.

Baked Aubergines with Minced Meat (Papucaki)

papucaki

My dad's favorite meal and a regular meal in our family. It's a Greek and Turkish dish made of aubergines filled with minced meat and covered with delicious sauce on top. Fairly easy to make and well worth the effort.

Cheese Puffs


cheese puffs

Light, airy cheese puffs..... that's always a good idea. I got the idea to make this recipe while on holiday in Greece this summer. The fried cheese balls are part of the Greek cuisine and they make them very often. I don't know if I have mentioned, but I love Greek food. Starting with the olive oil, the gyro and everything else :)
