Menu #4 (Greek with a twist)

A Taste of Greece: A Comforting Menu with a Twist

This menu is a tribute to traditional Greek dishes, with a little twist to keep things exciting. If you love homemade, rustic flavors, this feast is for you!

🥗 The Starter: Spanakotyropita with Homemade Fyllo

Flaky, golden, and packed with spinach, feta, and fresh herbs, this homemade-fyllo pie is pure comfort. Crisp on the outside, creamy inside—it’s the perfect start to a Greek meal.

🥘 The Main Dish: Veal Youvetsi with a Twist

Slow-cooked veal in a rich tomato sauce, but instead of orzo, chickpeas add heartiness while eggs bring a creamy surprise. A creative take on a Greek favorite that’s deeply flavorful and satisfying.

🍫 The Sweet Finale: Mosaiko

A childhood favorite for many, this no-bake chocolate biscuit delight, rich yet light, chilled to perfection. A nostalgic Greek treat that melts in your mouth with every bite!

This menu is all about honoring tradition while adding a personal touch. Whether you’ve made these dishes before or are trying them for the first time, they bring the essence of Greek home cooking to your table.

Alternatives for the Greek spanakotyropita!

Lazy for the full version of the greek spanakotyropita (spinach-feta pie) but still craving for it? I have some alternatives for you. Make the same filling as the original recipe and 

• either make snails using fyllo pastry that you fold in half, oil a bit, add some filling and roll and twist like a snail (see photos)
• or use 2 rectangular sheets of puff pastry that you insert the filling in between and cut in pieces 

Bake as usual until golden colored.

Enjoy!
