Veal Fillet with Vegetables in One Pot

Veal Fillet with Vegetables in One Pot
Juicy, tender, delicious and irresistible Veal Fillet "all in one"!
In recipes, like this one, with the general title «One Pan Recipe» (Pasta, Chicken etc.), the ingredients are put into the pot at the same time and cooked all together.
The delicious vegetables absorb all the flavor of the meat and give a special dish. This dish can be made with pork tenderloin fillets but also with a piece of veal. We make it often, especially in the winter months and enjoy it with great gusto. Its slightly concentrated sauce is unsurpassed thanks to the meat but also because of the vegetables that accompany it.

Osso Buco Veal Stew

Osso Buco Veal Stew
Το Osso Buco is the ideal piece of Veal Shank for a well-cooked Stew but also for the perfect Beef Soup. In fact, I recommend sautéing the Osso Buco in olive oil, so that it takes on color and flavor from each side, before it is cooked and accompanied along the way by selected vegetables and aromatic spices. Thus, an innocent Greek Stew can be deliciously hellish with its multi-layered, hidden deliciousness!
Some prefer to accompany this dish with Pappardelle, others with Oven-Fried Potatoes, Barley, Risotto, Polenta. This time we enjoyed it with a super extra Mashed Potatoes!

Tomato Patties & Tyrokafteri

Tomato Patties & Tyrokafteri
Ideal appetizer, excellent taste to combine on your table with Tyrokafteri (Spicy Feta Cheese Spread), that is as hot as we like. Accompany your appetite with beer or raki, without excluding a good red wine.
Ripe, delicious & bright red tomatoes are combined with the aromas of basil and mint and that's it. They don't need anything else to become a delicious appetizer except, perhaps, a homemade cheese sauce. Tomatoes ripe, tasty and bright red are joined with the aromas of basil and mint, that's all. They do not need anything else to make a scrumptious appetizer except, perhaps, by a homemade spicy cheese dip, with lovely soft feta of Kefalonia, with its velvety taste and texture and of course… french fries!

Pulled Pork with Pappardelle

Pulled Pork with Pappardelle
The succulent, juicy, delicious Pork Chunk (Osso Buco) is cooked in the pressure cooker until it becomes so tender that it falls off the bone. It gets its wonderful color and incomparable taste from the spices alone.
Its only ingredient is, apart from the spices, a single grated tomato, so as to balance, with its acidity, the sweet notes of the spices.
It pairs perfectly with pappardelle, sprinkled generously with grated cheese of our choice to enjoy the best home-cooked Italian meal.

Aubergines with Feta

Aubergines with Feta
The days at the beginning of November, in the city we live in, are this year very beautiful, mild, sunny, the vegetables at their best and all-weather or greenhouse aubergines are everywhere. Did you want a super easy and super tasty oily food, with the presence of eggplant predominantly? Follow the steps of the recipe and make this dish that we are sure you will enjoy!
I do not de-bitter Aubergines for many years. I think this process is not necessary and taste is not improving. The truth is that over time the varieties have changed, de-bitter would be much more important than it is now. Salt helps aubergines to eliminate their metallic taste, as well as part of their juices and nothing beyond that. It is more important to choose from the market aubergines without many spores, which are tasteless and hard and change their taste.

Okra in Oil

Okra in Oil
Almost a Greek alphabet to the benefits from the undervalued okra, which take so long and so many years the remorse comments of the universe without complaint. Do not listen to the "malicious" who propagate that okra is "the shame of the vegetables" 😆🌿👌…
Just 350-400 calories -at most- have a portion of them, while breathing a hot pizza special you get 875! So do not listen to others' prejudices, cook this vegetable and enjoy it. We did not eat so much food as the taste buds of the palate dared to try and revise.
The process for their preparation, when okra is fresh, it is a little time-consuming, but this contributes to their delicacy and differentiates them from the frozen.
Easy, tasty and really healthy dish!

Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Very tasty Sun-Dried Tomatoes are made from mature regular tomatoes or from anhydrous tomatoes (a special variety of tomatoes, which is common in many islands in the Aegean Sea and resembles the Italian pomodori or roma variety). Dried under the sun they evaporate the water they contain. On drying, tomatoes lose 88% of their weight while larger tomatoes lose 93%.
Sundried tomatoes have the same nutritional value as fresh and to produce a kilo of sun dried tomatoes need about 14 kg of fresh tomatoes. They are rich in lycopene, antioxidants and vitamin C. They are preserved in sterilized jars in olive oil and various aromatic herbs and spices, like coriander & cardamom.
Sundried tomatoes have a great variety of colors, sizes and flavors. They have many uses in the Mediterranean Cuisine. Traditionally they are served with olive oil, feta cheese & basil for a very tasty meal.

Savory Tomato Tart

Savory Tomato Tart
Tomatoes are the essence of summer and having the privilege of finding them easily on the benches of our markets or on our garden, we can use them in a multitude of recipes.
For this recipe we need tomatoes that are at the peak of their maturity. Red, juicy, all together, small, medium, large, pizza-style in a puff pastry, sprinkled with the unique balsamic flavor, sprinkled with salt and a few fresh basil leaves. They come in the oven to brown for a while, so that they become crisp and crumbly at the same time.
You will like this tart, eaten as an appetizer but as your main dish too, with a green salad and cold beer.

Broad Βeans & Blites Salad

Broad Βeans & Blites Salad
We are going through a limp week, between an undecided spring and a summer that does not seem to have made a decision to settle. So adjusting our mood to the «big question of life»!?!: what do we eat today, we cook broad beans. A legume rather despised now and some may not even know of the existence of.
Broad Beans are eaten fresh with artichokes, peas, etc. But dry, boiled as a salad or liquor, here our case. Onions, fresh tomato, bay leaves and oregano make this dish scream out of enthusiasm. They are accompanied and eaten with a salad blitum, feta, olives and barley rusk.

Baked Tortilla Roll-Ups

Baked Tortilla Roll-Ups
The tortilla (small torta) is a type of unleavened, thin, soft, flat cake of corn flour or fine milling wheat. Initially, corn tortilla was born in Mexico and preceded the arrival of Europeans in America. Wheat flour tortilla was a novelty from the Sephardi Jews who considered corn flour as non-kosher and used wheat coming from Europe. In China, there is the folksy (烙餅), a viscous "pancake" that is similar to the tortilla.
Tortillas are usually filled with various ingredients and accordingly they get different names like: tacos, quesadillas and burritos.
What Kitchen Stories today suggests is Tortillas stuffed with cheeses, mushrooms and sausage. Chopped with a delicious spicy tomato sauce and baked in the oven.

No Knead Baguette

No Knead Baguette
In our home we are not much of the bread, not because we do not like it but we just agreed to somewhat reduce the consumption of certain carbohydrates, removing from our usual diet this divine creature, the BREAD.
As a family with French references we could not say no to a fluffy, freshly baked baguette and thus give us the opportunity to encroach the terms of the agreement.
So we made Baguettes with a lazy process and unique garnish to remind us of Greece but also the Mediterranean, have oil & salt, olives & tomatoes, garlic & pepper and fragrant, much smell, like when you cross the dawn of the neighborhood bakery and take the smell of hot bread just came out. Thus they were born, inflated and baked four small baguettes, effortlessly, without kneading!
We exercised maximum restraint and character not to consume instantly. They lasted two days and the second day they were equally delicious, fluffy, delicious and very fresh. There was not third day to tell you how it was… Make them, you will not regret.
Yours!
