Greek vegetables recipes
20 Greek vegetables recipes, each written for this site and each saying what its method turns on.
- Avgolemono, sourced from Greece. A soup thickened with egg and lemon alone, which curdles the instant it boils and is therefore never allowed to. Egg.
- Dakos, sourced from Greece. A hard barley rusk softened only by grated tomato and oil, assembled in an order that decides whether it goes soggy.
- Dolmades, sourced from Greece. Vine leaves rolled around rice that is only half cooked, weighted down with a plate so they cannot unroll. vegan.
- Fasolada, sourced from Greece. A bean soup whose body comes from a quantity of olive oil that looks like a mistake, and from beans salted only at the end. vegan.
- Gigandes Plaki, sourced from Greece. Big flat beans baked uncovered in tomato until the top ones go leathery and the sauce goes sticky. vegan.
- Greek Salad, sourced from Greece. Tomato, cucumber and a whole slab of feta with no leaves in it at all, dressed with oil and oregano and nothing else.
- Kalitsounia, sourced from Greece. Small open pastries with their own dough rather than filo, pinched into points so the cheese sits proud in the middle. Egg.
- Kolokythopita, sourced from Greece. A courgette pie where the courgette is salted and squeezed twice, because it holds more water than spinach does. Egg.
- Lagana, sourced from Greece. A flat sesame-covered loaf dimpled all over with the fingers, so it stays flat instead of rising into a loaf. vegan.
- Pita, sourced from Greece. A soft flatbread with no pocket in it, cooked in a dry pan rather than an oven so it stays foldable. vegetarian.
- Saganaki, sourced from Greece. A slab of hard cheese floured and fried for ninety seconds a side, which is the entire window it has.
- Spanakopita, sourced from Greece. A filo pie whose filling is wrung out in a cloth before it goes anywhere near the pastry. Egg.
- Spanakorizo, sourced from Greece. Spinach and rice cooked in one pan where the spinach water is the cooking liquid and nothing else is added. vegan.

- Tahinopita, sourced from Greece. A coiled sweet bread with tahini rolled through it, made with no dairy and no egg at all. vegan.
