Today was Greek Sunday. I have grand memories from my days in Limassol, Cyprus & today was one of those days down the memory lane.
Greek Chicken Gyro - Chicken Sautéed with onions n tomatoes after marinating in olive oil, oregano, garlic, lemon juice, slat n pepper. Served with pitta heated with a dash of olive oil & hummus. A Simple Greek salad & a side of asparagus pickles add to the deliciousness.
Spanakopita is an all-time favorite of my mine and goes well with any Greek meal. A cucumber sauce made with Greek yogurt, lemon, olive oil, dill weed, garlic slat n pepper goes as a perfect condiment with it.
Ideally, I wanted to have a KEO (a Cypriot beer) with today's meal. Couldn't fine one around here so found a close substitute - the Golden Eagle Lager. It’s an old Indian classic from yester years.
Thought of the day - Substitute whole wheat Pitta as an alternative to regular Pitta bread. A dash of olive oil & garlic salt and a couple of mts in the oven at 225F make for a healthy alternative.
As always - Love is the most important ingredient.
