It's been one week since I came back from Greece and honestly i should have stayed there, because in these last days back home only shitty things have happened to me, included my work almost going to hell and the f*cking covid i'm suffering right now -_-

So at least i thought i could share my pics from there now that i have time to fix them. I started with the foodp0rn because it was so great :D

So here you have gyros (with fries inside, yes xD), dakos (with olive paste instead of olives), kolokithokeftedes (and i'm not a fan of zucchini!), kormós (or mosaiko, very similar to tinginys!), souvlaki (out of the pita in this case), grilled sardines (from a ψαροταβερνα in Pireas), skordaliá (it's like mashed potatoes with alioli sauce but much better than it sounds), horta (i would love to have this here), homemade spanakopita and homemade fasolakia too (my bf's mom wanted to feed us non stop xD), and last but not least saganaki (with formaella cheese we got in Αραχοβα).

Missing here the delicious mousaka also homemade, the koulouri that i liked so much or the kaimaki ice cream, because apparently i love mastiha :D

Crispy Grilled Saganaki

Grilled saganaki is an exciting appetizer to serve at any party. This Greek dish can be prepared in a variety of ways, and is a great way to try a new type of cheese. Halloumi cheese and Kefalograviera cheese are two cheeses that can be used for this dish.

Grilled saganaki

Crispy Grilled Saganaki is one of the most delicious and traditional Greek foods. Originally from Greece and Turkey, it was first served in Greek taverns in the 1800s. It can be prepared in many ways. Here are some of the most common ways to prepare this Greek appetizer:

First, you need to prepare the cheese. You can use different types, depending on the taste you want to impart. A great choice for beginners is halloumi cheese, which doesn’t melt as easily. You should also mix some oregano, pepper, and refined salt together. You can then slice the cheese into one-cm slices and coat it with the herb mix. Once coated, you should heat a non-stick frying pan and place the cheese in it.

Another great way to serve saganaki is to serve it warm. The crisp outer coating gives the appetizer a nice crunch, and the soft inside keeps it warm and fresh. It’s an ideal starter to any meal.

Kefalograviera cheese

Kefalograviera cheese is an integral part of Greek cuisine. It is a thin, crisp, and flavorful cheese snack that is usually fried. To prepare the cheese, cut it into small cubes, about 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Dredge each cube in flour, and then dip in water. After dredging, fry each cube for two to three minutes on each side, until golden. Serve immediately after cooking.

To make kefalograviera cheese on Crisp Grilled Saganaki, place the kefalotyri cheese piece in flour. Make sure to coat it evenly, and tap the excess flour off. Then, place it into hot oil and fry until golden brown.

The cheese is essential to a great Saganaki. Its quality depends on the cheese you choose. Greeks typically use Graviera Kefalograviera or Keflotyri cheese, two yellow hard cheeses. Kefalograviera cheese is milder, while Keflotyri is stronger and saltier.

Halloumi cheese

Crispy Grilled Saganaki with halloumi cheese is an easy yet delicious appetizer. Grilled halloumi cheese is dipped in a lemony mixture and quickly fried until golden and slightly melty. This traditional Greek appetizer is served with crusty bread and a side of ouzo.

Grilled saganaki is traditionally served hot. The cheese should be firm and not melt when grilled, so it is important to select a firm cheese. However, if you don’t have any halloumi cheese on hand, other cheeses can be substituted. Thick slices of Monterey Jack, provolone, or young Pecorino cheese are all excellent substitutes.

To make halloumi fries, you can either fry them on a hot skillet or in an air fryer. They are delicious and addictive! You can buy halloumi cheese in the Middle East or at your local supermarket.

Kefalograviera

Kefalograviera Crispy grilled Saganaki is a classic Greek dish. It is made of cheese, and is often served with crusty bread and lemon. This dish is easy to prepare, and makes an excellent appetizer. It is best served with pita bread or crusty bread.

Crispy grilled Saganaki is a Greek speciality, and the name comes from its crispy outer layer and soft cheese inside. It is a perfect appetizer for any meal. In Greece, it is typically served with a tomato sauce and lemon wedges.

The cheese used to make Kefalograviera Crispy Saganaki is Kefalotyri cheese. It is cooked in a sagani pan, a small skillet with two handles. It goes well with ouzo, olives, wine, and tomatoes.

Traditionally, Greek kefalotyri and graviera are made from sheep’s milk. They have a mild, nutty flavor. Other cheeses that can be used are Cypriot halloumi and mastello.

50 years after his own graduation, George R.R. Martin returned to the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University to give the commencement address.

In a rather tardy post at Not a Blog he wrote about his June visit to he Midwest. He was happy to give a plug to a local restaurant.

After Evanston, I spent a few days in Chicago, accompanied by my loyal minion, Sid. That was great as well. Of course, we had to visit Greektown for some saganaki at the Greek Islands, where I first learned to love flaming cheese while still a student at Northwestern. OPAA! OPAA! I also got to enjoy dinners with Mary Anne Mohanraj, one of my wonderful Wild Card writers, and Eve Ewing, who presented me with the Carl Sandburg Award on my last visit to Chicago, both of them amazing writers.

If something like saganaki (σαγανάκι) shows up in a banquet scene in one of the spinoffs, you know where he got the idea. 🧀🔥
