I Tried Something New … 4 Unforgettable Greek Dishes (no original recipes)

Hi everyone 🙂 inspired by this year’s trip I just wanted to cook again and make a video for fun. There are so many classic meze recipes, I want to show you my personal favorites. I love this kind of food because it’s so simple but delicious.

What are Mezedes at all? Well, they’re a symbol of community and timelessness for thousands of years. You don’t eat the dishes alone, it is in the middle of the table and you share this happy moment with people you care about.

So let’s bring Greece’s vibrant flavors straight to your kitchen!
For the dishes I used the following:

Kolokithokeftedes:

2 zucchini
1 egg
juice of a lemon
1 garlic clove
mint (take fresh instead of dry if you have)
fresh dill
2 tbsp flour
black pepper
red pepper powder
salt
olive oil
some Feta cheese on top
——————————————————

yellow lentils FAVA:

200 g yellow lentils
1 onion, roughly chopped
juice of the squeezed zucchinis (about 200 ml)
if you have leftover vegetables (1 red pepper, 1 carrot)
juice of a lemon
olive oil
salt and pepper
——————————————————

Feta with honey & sesame:

200 g Feta cheese
about 2-3 tbsp honey, sustainably produced
fresh thyme
flour
1 egg
sesame
——————————————————

Tzatziki:

about 400 g greek yogurt (10% fat)
fresh dill
1 garlic clove
salt and pepper
half a cucumber
optional: lemon juice

But as always: Experiment with ingredients! :))
Hope to see you soon. With love, Rucan
