\"\"
Gigantes Plaki (Greek Baked Beans)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While dried haricot bean soup (fasolada) fed hungry Greeks during the German occupation in World War II, the dish is now somewhat looked down on.

\"\"
Greek Kotosoupa (Chicken Soup)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This nutritious soup is renowned for its curative properties and looks deceptively easy to make. The cooking process actually involves slowly boiling a whole chicken in a pot with vegetables and bonnet rice and then picking the meat off, discarding the skin and bones. But the fun really begins with the egg and lemon sauce, “avgolemono.” At this point, you break a couple of yolks into a bowl and slowly pour some of the broth while whisking. Squeeze in some lemon juice and stir the bowl’s liquid carefully back into the pot — it won’t curdle if just simmering.

Soutzoukakia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Greek Soutzoukakia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When Greeks from Turkey’s Aegean coast returned to the country after the Greco-Turkish War, they brought many of their own recipes with them. The ever popular soutzoukakia, is one of the most noted. Indeed, you may often see the extra description “Smyrneika,” which is from Smyrna, in taverna menus. Like keftedes, they’re meatballs. However, soutzoukakia are baked in a cumin-scented sauce rather than floured and fried. They’re almost always served with pilau rice, a reminder of their oriental provenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koulourakia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

\"\"
Greek Kleftiko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This dish of slowly cooked roast lamb with herbs wrapped in baking parchment paper stems from an era when the village bakery was also in charge of the communal oven. Households would bring in their own parceled joint on Sunday mornings for baking and pick it up at lunch time. Although the advent of fitted kitchens has made this scenario obsolete, the recipe is still popular. The parchment paper allows the meat to be steamed in its own juices, perfumed by the added herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoon sweets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Greek Spoon Sweets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The vast quantity of fruit produced in Greece proved overwhelming in olden times, when trade was slow or non-existent. As a result, spoon sweets, like Western European jams, became the Greek way of preserving fruit. This is one of the occasions when pure sugar rather than honey is used in traditional Greek recipes. It’s added in such large quantities, that most people can only bear a gloopy spoonful. Try them with yoghurt to temper the sugar rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calamari<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
