Octopus tonight! This #Greek recipe, called Htapodi xidato / Χταπόδι ξυδάτο, is so easy to make and reminds one of sipping ouzo on a Greek island at sunset no matter where you are.
Melitzanosalata / Μελιτζανοσαλάτα - #Greek eggplant caviar that's smoky and sweet all at once. There are so many variations of this dish, but my go-to is the bare bones version that really lets the eggplant shine.
I love the goat from @belcampomeatco and get the neck more often than not - it's full of flavor and cheap. Perfect for braising. Here I'm making it "kokkinisto" - in red sauce.
Sesame spelt breadsticks, aka kritsinia / κριτσίνια. I ran out of my store-bought stash from Greece and was desperate for something similar. Success! These have the same crunch and sesame flavor that I love, and the spelt flour makes them all the healthier.
Spanakopita without filo | Σπανακόπιτα χωρίς φύλλο - anyone scared of filo has no excuse not to try this recipe! Loaded with everything that's great about spinach pie, but without the pastry!

Creamy vegan potato salad | πατατοσαλάτα. The secret is mixing the still-warm potatoes with ample #Greek olive oil
Vegan tahini and grape molasses cookies. These exude tahini flavor and using grape molasses, aka petimezi, lends both richness and color.
