The Greek way (Outrageously Delicious Baked Stuffed Eggplant).

Greece is widely known for its mouth watering food and one of its most popular dishes is Papoutsakia.

Papoutsakia is stuffed eggplants that are first baked until soft and then filled with a tomato-based mince sauce, topped with bechamel sauce and cheese, and baked again until they are beautifully golden.

The dish is called papoutsakia (little shoes) because its shape resembles little shoes.

Due to its ingredients, the dish tastes a lot like Moussaka, however with a host of health benefits, being made with eggplants.

Eggplants are a nutrient-dense food, meaning they contain a good amount of vitamins, minerals and fibre in few calories.

Eggplants are to my Greek family, what potatoes are to my Irish family; and this dish of slow cooked eggplant is a regular on our Greek family table.

Think eggplants plus Greek cuisine and you may invariably think of moussaka – delicious when homemade but sometimes a stodgy, oil-heavy weight at an average tourist taverna.

Maybe it’s because of this association that moussaka was a very rare feature in my mother in law Sophia’s kitchen. Instead eggplants featured in a variety of dishes, but everyone’s favourite (including Sophia’s) was ‘papoutaskaia’ meaning little shoes.

Μετά την ολοκλήρωση της βάπτισης μας τράβηξε για λίγη ώρα το πάρκο, προκειμένου να αποτυπώσουμε με το φακό μας λίγες στιγμές ανάπαυλας. Η μικρή μας πρωταγωνίστρια όμως ήταν πολύ κουρασμένη από την απρόσμενη δημοσιότητα και σύντομα αποσύρθηκε στην αγκαλιά της μαμάς της για να ξεκουραστεί, όπως αρμόζει σε μια μικρή πριγκίπισσα. 3/3 #papoutsakia #vaptistikapapoutsia #baptism #cute #baby #baptismdecoration #baptismcake #baptismdecoration #babyclothes #baptismcake #baptisms #baptismday #vaptistika #vaptistikarouha #agiosnektrarios #voula (at Αγιος Νεκταριος Βουλας) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-A1Lg3j-4g/?igshid=1wnid91hl5iem

#36 of 52: Olive Branch Mediterranean Cafe and Shop. This is a deli with dry goods, baked goods and a daily hot food selection. After you've shopped for olives, cooking oils and baked goodies go to the counter for Boars Head sand which or a selection from the hot food area. I always enjoy the variety at the hot food section which always has Mediterranean entrees, tasty side dishes and a daily vegetarian option. On this day, I enjoyed the Papoutsakia, "Little Shoes" stuffed eggplant. The Store is located at 3992 Ringgold Road, East Ridge, TN 37412. It's in a simple strip mall, not where you would expect to find a place like this, but this is worth checking out. I think of it as the meal you'd be served if you grandmother were Italian living in Greece. Enjoy some good Mediterranean food in East Ridge, yes, East Ridge.
