Awesome Greek dishes you can try making at home

Spanakopita or the Spinach Pie

This pie uses layers of delicate phyllo, feta, and spinach. The preparation is easy because there is good quality phyllo available in stores. You can make the Spanakopita by simply alternating stacks of phyllo and a generous slathering of the feta and spinach mixture.

Do the layering until about an inch away from the baking dish rim. Baking depends on the oven. Be sure to know the correct settings as the phyllo is so sensitive that it can burn easily. The trick is to bake it under low heat for several minutes to an hour. This dish can be sampled in a Greek-inspired restaurant in Glen Waverley Shopping Centre.

Tzatziki or Cucumber Yogurt Dip

This is perfect with pita bread. Hey, it can be used as a dip for your favourite chips. Nothing can be simpler than this dip. It’s a matter of combining slices of cucumber with traditional Greek yoghurt. The expert Greek dish creators of Miss Pickle at Glen restaurant are so good at making this dip.

Make sure to use yoghurt that’s not been infused with other flavours as it may alter the flavour altogether. With adequate seasoning, this dip provides a fresh and lovely twist to your bread and other snacks.

Piperies me Tyri or Spicy Stuffed Peppers

Who doesn’t like anything with cheese? Well, to even jazz up the flavour, add a spicy kick to it. It’s a match made in heaven. Just like the souvlaki, this dish can be grilled. It’s a matter of stuffing Anaheim or Cubanelle peppers with a lovely mixture of feta cheese, chilli, some vegetables of your choice (cut in tiny pieces), and even ground meat.

After stuffing the peppers, you are ready to grill away. Be careful when grilling, though. The cheese may ooze out so it’s best to keep an eye on it. After a few minutes, it is ready to serve. The Pieperies me Tyri can be served as an appetizer or even part of the main course.

The ever-famous Greek salad

The Greek salad does not even involve any cooking at all! This healthy yet delectable salad consists mainly of peppers, cucumbers, onion, tomatoes, and feta cheese. The dressing, however, is what brings everything together.

It has to be the best-quality red wine vinegar and oregano. Bring your vegetables to life by making this salad! It will surely be a big hit to anyone conscious about their waistline. The Greek salad will not disappoint. It can even be paired with the best souvlaki in Melbourne!
