hey !
someone said that " you don't mind the rain if you haven't see the sunshine" and i do mind! i grew up in the sunshine in Greece! Thank God San Diego is blessed with the sun!
So, today its a nice sun on the sky, and makes me think of my grand mother and our time together! Was a wise woman and a great cook! I decided to share that Greek way of cooking, 22 years after she went to meet the angels..
Who said that guys cannot cook?I will try to make the Greek recipes like she did, and I hope that she will help me and will be proud of me..
Lets start with the the salads!
A Greek salad has to be with fresh tomatoes,cucumbers, onions ,green bell peppers, capers, olives,feta cheese and seasoned with salt and oregano! don't forget the olive oil! this is the real Greek salad. mix all the ingredients and add at the end the olive oil, and if you like some wine vinegar. you can serve the salad for lunch or for dinner starter. Usually I serve it with some crispy toasted bread with oil, garlic, oregano and salt. Delicious!
I am already sick of "Greek"restaurants here with no real Greek Food. Humus, falaffel ,kempab, etc are not Greek but Arabic
(Its best to use the full taste oil and not the mild ones. so try the extra virgin. Good olive oil seems to be a matter of taste! Smooth and full flavor, not bitter. Olive oil is very well tolerated by the stomach. In fact, olive oil's protective function has a beneficial effect on ulcers and gastritis. Olive oil activates the secretion of bile and pancreatic hormones much more naturally than prescribed drugs Consequently, it lowers the incidence of gallstone formation.)
There are many health benefits of eating tomatoes. Tomatoes contain compounds that have been proven to help prevent cancer, heart disease cataracts and many others. the same for cucumbers and peppers and onions!
OK we are done with the salad.. and as my grand mother use to say , "salad is the secret of youth and the good time in the toilet!"
