Gigantes Plaki
An oldie but goodie! We’ve always had a special place for gigantes ever since our mom used to force us to eat them when we were young. Over the years they grew on us, but the interesting part is that there was a time that a couple years had past where we haven’t had them at all, then we saw gigantes at the food bar at Whole Foods and it completely re-ignited our taste and memories of our mom’s cooking. This is a great recipe and if you haven’t made before, then it is a must try!

Greek-Style Summer Salad with Feta
This is a Greek salad modified a bit to make it super simple with ingredients that are usually on hand. We make this version almost every night during the summer which makes it a staple in our household.

Coconut Curry Lentil Soup (Fakes)
Ahhh our beloved fakes soupa! How many plates of this dish have we eaten over the years? Not enough! It’s tasty, healthy, and reminds us of home. It’s such a classic Greek dish, but we created it with a spin! Try our delicious recipe for Coconut Curry Lentil Soup. We like it, actually we love it, and we think you will too!

Eggs Benedictopoulos
Eggs Benedict is an American breakfast dish that generally consists of an English muffin, topped with ham or bacon, poached eggs, and Hollandaise sauce. But we decided to “Greekify” it, bringing the best of both food worlds together! Instead of an English muffin, we used potato cooked in some Greek olive oil with salt, pepper and oregano. We added some sautéed spinach, Hollaindaise sauce made with Greek yogurt and our favorite cheese, feta! We didn’t use meat in our recipe but feel free to add some if you like. Traditionally, Canadian bacon is used for Eggs Benedict but if you can’t find Canadian bacon, you can use ham.

Greek Inspired Salsa & Guacamole
We had some pepperoncini, cucumber and feta in the fridge that we wanted to use up and with Cinco de Mayo around the corner, we decided instead of making a salad, let’s make some Greek inspired salsa and guacamole. We were very happy with the outcome so we thought we’d share these recipes with you! We hope you enjoy our Greek salsa and “Oli” (means “everyone” in Greek) guacamole!
