passionate fan of the Mediterranean cuisine, this article is definitely for you. See our list of
4 TOP Greek dishes that you shouldn’t miss:
- Pasta
Who doesn’t like pasta?! Let’s be honest here – Greeks adore it. They cook it in literally any form and it always tastes great. A typical and very common pasta meal is the so called
pastitsio. Just a single bite is enough for you to feel the delicious macaroni, eggs, lamb or veal and the unique taste of
béchamel sauce on top. Let’s not forget about all the spices like garlic, cinnamon and nutmeg that hide somewhere in between the layers.
- Gyros
If you know what Greek food tastes like, you must be familiar with the gyros. This is specially prepared bread, in which you can find slices of chicken, lamb or pork meat. Picture all this gently seasoned with fragrant olive oil and
baked on the grill. Oh, don’t think that’s all! People usually put tomatoes, onion, tzatziki and fried potatoes for best results.
