Greek

A summery take on roast vegetables, Greek-style. Bursting with seasonal flavours, it’s great with a stifado or on its own tossed with some orzo

Usually made with fresh oranges, this is all about the lemons, which balance the sweet with a zingy tang. Filo creates a sturdy but surprisingly light texture that can be enjoyed warm or cold with a dollop of Greek yogurt

This robust spiced meat stew is usually made with Mavrodafni, a sweet Greek red wine. Here we use a ruby port, which mimics the depth and richness

Turn an easy dip into a party platter with the addition of a juicy Greek salad. Dig in with flatbreads and crudités.

This simple dip is a perfect addition to any Mediterranean-style meal

This zesty pie filling is based on avgolemono, a Greek lemon and chicken soup enriched with egg yolks

This cheat’s stifado uses ready-made meatballs instead of stewing beef to deliver the same tender results in a fraction of the time

These fritters are as ubiquitous in Greek tavernas as moussaka. Just mix everything together then fry them quickly to a crisp golden brown outside

A few dips served with warm toasted pitta bread make for a great hassle-free starter
