Kalamari Kathista
Kalamari Kathista is a traditional Greek dish featuring tender squid cooked in a savoury tomato sauce with aromatic herbs and spices. This dish showcases the Mediterranean flavours and is often enjoyed as a main course, accompanied by rice, pasta, or crusty bread. The slow-cooked squid absorbs the rich flavours of the sauce, resulting in a delicious and satisfying meal.
Octopus Krasato
Octopus Krasato is a classic Greek dish where octopus is braised in red wine, resulting in a tender and flavourful dish. The red wine and spices impart a rich, deep flavour to the octopus, making it a delightful and aromatic dish. This dish is often served as a main course, accompanied by rice, potatoes, or fresh bread to soak up the savoury sauce.
Koupepia (Cypriot Stuffed Grape Leaves)
Koupepia, also known as Dolmades in Greek cuisine, are a traditional Cypriot dish consisting of grape leaves stuffed with a flavourful mixture of rice, ground meat, herbs, and spices. These savoury parcels are often served as an appetiser or a main course, typically accompanied by lemon wedges and yoghurt.
Frappe
Frappe is a popular Greek iced coffee that’s known for its frothy top and refreshing taste, especially during the hot summer months. It’s typically made with instant coffee, water, sugar, and milk, shaken or blended to create a creamy foam. Frappe is a staple in Greek cafes and is enjoyed by people of all ages, making it an iconic drink in Greek culture.
Greek Coffee
Greek coffee is a traditional beverage enjoyed throughout Greece and the Mediterranean region. Known for its rich flavour and frothy top layer, called “kaimaki,” Greek coffee is a ritualistic drink often shared among friends and family. It’s prepared in a special pot called a “briki” and is served in small cups. Greek coffee is typically enjoyed slowly, accompanied by conversation and sometimes a small sweet treat.
Halloumi
Halloumi is a traditional Cypriot cheese known for its unique texture and salty flavour. Unlike many other cheeses, halloumi has a high melting point, allowing it to be grilled or fried without losing its shape. This semi-hard, brined cheese is typically made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk, though cow’s milk can also be used. Making halloumi at home is a rewarding process that results in a fresh and flavourful cheese perfect for salads, sandwiches, or simply enjoyed on its own.
