Garides Saganaki is a traditional Greek dish usually served in clay pots and it demands plenty of crusty bread for mopping up its delicious sauce. There are many versions to it, using variations of the main ingedients. In this recipe, we use peppers, ouzo and a chilli, to add a hint of spiciness.

This recipe comes from the book ‘Under The Olive Tree: Recipes from my Greek Kitchen’ by Irini Tzortzoglou.
