Must-try Greek Ready Meals
1. Moussaka: If not the most famous Greek food, it is made with vegetables, meat, and cheese. Potatoes, zucchini and eggplants are being laid on a baking tray in layers separated with ground meat, cooked and enriched with spices. Then, on top of the layers, bechamel sauce is poured and some grated cheese is sprinkled to create a crust when baking.
2. Pastitsio: A baked pasta dish mixed with cooked, very thin ground beef and bechamel sauce poured on top of the mixture, with some grated cheese sprinkled to make a delicious crust.
3. Tzatziki: Perhaps the most classic Greek dip that accompanies all kinds of dishes, from meat and cooked vegetables to seafood and Greek pita bread. This refreshing tzatziki dip is very easy to make, as the recipe includes only 5 ingredients: yoghurt, grated cucumber, fresh garlic, vinegar and olive oil.
4. Fasolada: During the cold winter days, it is customary for Greeks to consume a warm bowl of the traditional bean soup, fasolada. This national dish is made of pure ingredients, like beans, onions, carrots, tomato, celery and olive oil, boiled to perfection in a large pot. It is the ideal choice for those who prefer vegetarian meals or who have any dietary restrictions.
5. Taramosalata: This classic Greek dip is made with fish eggs, called Tarama, bread, onion, lemon juice, olive oil and spices. It is relatively low in calories and it is considered a great nutritional source of vitamin A, D, magnesium and calcium. Its bright pink color makes for a very aesthetic addition to your dinner parties.
Health Benefits of Greek Cuisine and the Mediterranean Diet
This diet has been praised worldwide for its health benefits and its contribution to longevity. Consuming whole foods like vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes, in combination with lean proteins and healthy fats from olive oil, ensure a balanced dietary lifestyle that is suitable for all age groups. Specifically:
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, olive oil is used in most Greek cooking, as it helps in reducing inflammation and in boosting heart health.
- Legumes: Humus is made from Greek chickpeas, which, along with lentils and beans, is rich in plant-based protein and fiber.
- Seafood: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fish used in taramosalata, assist in supporting brain and heart health.
- Herbs: Natural herbs like oregano, thyme and rosemary grown all around the Greek mountains and meadows, add flavor without the need for excessive salt and artificial additives.
- Vegetables: Lots of colorful vegetables are used to make the Greek Ready Meals, including cabbage leaf rolls for lahanodolmades, eggplants with onions for melitzanosalata dip, red and green peppers for traditional gemista, savory zucchini for kolokithakia gemista and rich garlic cloves for skordalia.
