Welcome Back to Episode 53 of All Things Greek! To

Welcome Back to Episode 53 of All Things Greek! Today we are making Κοτόπουλο με πατάτες λεμονάτο στο φούρνο BUT WITH SOME VEGGIES TOO - AKA Greek Baked Lemon Chicken, Veggies and Potatoes. Being made by a Greek Gal with AUTHENTIC GREEK parents!

The concept here is very simple, everything stays the same… Just add everything to the casserole dish and let it bake. The aroma that’ll fill your house will make your mouth water.

Growing up my mama was VERY busy, as I’ve shared before. So, putting together a nourishing meal wasn’t always the easiest task especially since some Greek meals take a long time to cook or prep. So this meal was her GO TO! We always had it with Chicken and Potatoes but SO many of you made it and requested some veggies I thought I’d create something that is the perfect, balanced meal. Carbs, Protein, Fat and Fibre. I know you are going to love this and I think it’s going to become your go to meal in a pinch.

PLEASE NOTE: The yellow mustard isn’t something my mother did when we were growing up. It’s completely OPTIONAL! This is a new trend among new-age Greeks BUT it is wonderful. You must try. I don’t want to hear you bashing it unless you give it a try.

Here’s is everything you will need to make my family’s meal.

INGREDIENTS:

6x skin on bone in chicken thighs
3x medium yellow-fleshed potatoes, cut into wedges then halved (about 1 1/2 – 2 inch pieces)
1x zucchini, cut into 1 ½ inch pieces
1x red pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces
1x red onion, cut into wedges then halved (about 1 1/2 – 2 inch pieces) 
Sauce:  
juice of 2 lemons
2 tsp chicken stock paste
1/2 cup olive oil
10 garlic cloves smashed
1 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
2 1/2 tsp garlic powder
fresh oregano for garnish

Welcome back to Episode 52 of All Things Greek! Today is a big day, I am sharing with you my VIRAL go-to pita recipe BUT STUFFED WITH TIROKAFTERI (Spicy Feta Pepper Dip) + a bit of Mozzarella!

Since my first two recipes went Viral and broke the internet with over 18 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes I thought I had to bring you something EVEN MORE MAXIMALIST . Introducing, GREEK PITA POCKETS — like Pizza Pockets BUT WAY BETTER. They are so crispy, fluffy and gooey.

With my Greek pita bread recipe, you will never need to buy pita again! I promise you. These are INSANE!
It’s so fluffy and so easy to make. The best part? Use this Greek Pita bread recipe to scoop, dip, or wrap – whatever you’re craving!

They are the perfect match for all your favourite Greek dips that I have taught you to make, Greek Salads, Chicken Lemon and Potatoes and so much more!

All you need is seven ingredients (not including the stuffing) – ones that you probably already have in your pantry and 10 minutes of active prep time + proofing and 30 minutes of cook time! Here’s all you need — you got this bestie! Mommy loves you!

Ingredients:

3 cups bread flour (or all purpose flour) - I used @bobsredmill
3/4 cup warm water
6 tbsp warm whole milk
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast - I use @fleishmannsyeast
3 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp salt - I use @diamondcrystalsalt

2 ⅓ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup, cooled, Spicy Greek Feta Dip (Tirokafteri) - https://www.foodbymaria.com/spicy-feta-dip/

Welcome Back to Episode 49 of All Things Greek, a series where I share recipes from my childhood! Today we are making beloved Keftedes. Or Keftedakia… otherwise known as THE BEST GREEK MEATBALLS!

Meatballs are called keftedes in Greece and are a staple in my house for a quick, easy, and healthy dinner. Greek meatballs vary by region and family, but this is how I love to make my Keftedes which I learned from only the best — my Greek mama and grandmother.

Next time your household is having one of those nights where you’re not sure what you eat/make, maybe you don’t have enough time or the kids can’t make up their minds because they’re having a “picky” moment — try these. They are the answer to every problem. Paired with our Tzatziki you will be left craving more and wondering why you’ve never tried our easy, quick, one-bowl Greek Meatballs before!

Here’s everything you need to become a Greek Meatball Wizard and never panic when you have only 15 minutes to make a quick protein-packed snack or dinner again!

Ingredients:

450 g (1 lb) lean ground beef
1 large yellow onion, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg
6 tbsp fresh chopped mint
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 lemon, cut into wedges
olive oil for cooking
tzatziki for serving (use our tzatziki recipe!)
