Luckily, you can still get all those lovely flavors of the Greek kitchen with just a few ingredients and ground beef. Let’s get into it. Ingredients Ground beef Olive oil Butter Cinnamon Nutmeg Thyme Basil Rosemary Oregano White onion Garlic Lime (optional) Feta cheese (optional) Yoghurt (optional) Cooking plan Start by adding olive oil and ground beef to a pan.https://paulstapel.com/recipes/greek-chicken-and-rice/Wed, 16 Jul 2025 07:02:11 +0200https://paulstapel.com/recipes/greek-chicken-and-rice/Recently, I made a recipe for Spanish chicken and rice. Both family and peers seemed to really enjoy this recipe, and therefore I am creating a Greek twist. I recommend eating it with fresh bread and some Tzatziki. Ingredients Chicken breast (If it’s too thick, cut it in half crosswise) Lemon Chicken stock White vinegar (just a little will do, optional) Rice Cooking oil Spice mix 3/2 tsp dill 3 or 4 bay leafs, crushed 1 tsp thyme 1 tsp dried rosemary 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp dried parsley 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp paprika powder 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder Cooking plan Pat your chicken dry with a (paper) towel and rub on a squeeze of (half a) lemon and vinegar.https://paulstapel.com/recipes/htipiti/Fri, 13 Dec 2024 14:47:30 +0100https://paulstapel.com/recipes/htipiti/It is pronounced “tee-pee-tee” by the way.

My stomach simply can’t get enough of the delicous fatty recipes that Greek people have come up with. Among these hearty recipes, moussaka stands out as one of my favorites. I made it for a birthday dinner last week, and the deliciousness is well worth the preperation time. Ingredients Meat filling Beef mince White onion Garlic Tomato passata Tomato concentrate Bay leaves Cinnamon (powder, sticks also work and give an even nicer taste) Oregano Sugar Salt (Cheap) red wine Olive oil Beef stock (cubes or homemade) Besamel sauce (not a typo) Butter (equal part butter to flower) Flour Milk (cold) Nutmeg Eggs (not vital, but help the sauce brown, creating a nicer color) Parmesan Eggplant bottom A bunch of eggplants Salt Cooking plan Eggplant bottom Start with the bottom of your moussaka by cutting your eggplant into circular slabs of about 1 cm thick.https://paulstapel.com/recipes/tomato-meatballs/Fri, 08 Nov 2024 18:11:37 +0100https://paulstapel.com/recipes/tomato-meatballs/Ok, so last week I was thinking about what I wanted to cook, when I stumbled upon some inspiration for meatballs in tomato sauce, thinking back to how delicious those were back when I visited Greece. Now I am not about to tell you that this is an authentic Greek recipe (it is more of an Italian recipe I believe), but this is an authentic Paul banger, and as such, I would love to share it with you all.https://paulstapel.com/recipes/souvlaki/Fri, 12 Jul 2024 07:26:17 +0200https://paulstapel.com/recipes/souvlaki/This is a lovely meaty dish that you can serve as a main course. With summer at its peak, you enjoy this dish on straight from the grill during a barbecue for example. Marinade (extra virgin) olive oil Oregano Sweet paprika powder Thyme (optional) Bay leaves Juice from a lemon LOTS OF GARLIC Salt and pepper Chicken (cubed, which you’ll marinate) Cooking plan Mince the garlic. You should use enough that you can smell it.https://paulstapel.com/recipes/melitzanosalata/Fri, 12 Jul 2024 07:12:28 +0200https://paulstapel.com/recipes/melitzanosalata/I love cooking Greek food. Something about the balance of oils, fresh herbs and grilled meats just really gets me going. But Greek food can be more than just gyros and souvlaki. To give our vegetarians some love, and in order to diversify your Greek palette, let me introduce you to this lovely dish called Melitzanosalata (eggplant salad). Ingredients A few Eggplants Half a red onion (or a full shallot, if you want a more delicate flavour) Olive oil, preferably extra virgin.https://paulstapel.com/recipes/tzatziki/Sat, 06 Apr 2024 14:03:15 +0200https://paulstapel.com/recipes/tzatziki/After a trip to Greece, I fell in love with greek cuisine. Of course, you cant say Greek without Tzatziki, and so I will share this easy recipe for this beloved sauce. Ingredients Greek yoghurt Garlic Vinegar Olive oil (I like extra virgin) Dill Cucumber Some salt Preparation Finely grate a cucumber and wring out the moisture using a towel. Finely press the garlic, and add it to the yoghurt along with the other ingredients.
