Monday: Chicken Souvlaki
My Greek Chicken Souvlaki Skewers are on regular rotation not only in the summer grilling season but in the cooler months too. The easy dinner recipe comes together so quickly, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Fresh, bright, and so easy to make, this Pea Pesto is spring in a bowl. It’s sweet from the peas, peppery from the arugula, fresh from the mint, and rounded out with toasted almonds, lemon, Parmesan, and olive oil. Toss it with pasta for an easy meal, slather it on crostini, add it to a cheese board, or fold it into a salad dressing.
With za'atar, sumac, and 7-spice, these za'atar chicken thighs are a great weeknight dinner. Marinate when you get home from work, then roast for just 25 minutes.
This Greek Cheese Pie has it all! A creamy and savory center, crispy layers of phyllo dough, and a sweet garnish that brings the whole thing together. The pie bakes in under 40 minutes. It’s delicious, filling, and very rewarding to make. Make this recipe for a mezze platter, for a special occasion Greek-themed dinner party, or pair it with one of my many Mediterranean salad and appetizer recipes to make a complete meal.
This Mediterranean Shrimp Rice Bowl recipe is light, bright, and hits every craving for fresh flavors without tons of fuss. Juicy shrimp, zesty salad, and fluffy rice all come together for a bowl that’s perfect for a hearty lunch, a light dinner or even meal prep.
My No Mayo Coleslaw with Lemon Sumac Dressing is a Middle Eastern spin on a classic coleslaw. It’s crunchy, fresh, vibrant, and loaded with texture from crisp cabbage, fragrant herbs, peppery radish, and toasted sunflower seeds. It comes together in under 30 minutes.
Homemade Greek Pita Bread is incredibly easy to make and so rewarding. The whole process can be done in under 90 minutes. This recipe uses standard pantry staples. Enjoy with your favorite dips or make your own wraps.
My Rhubarb Custard Bars are sweet, tart, creamy, buttery, and the perfect spring treat. They’re perfect for brunches, spring gatherings, potlucks, or just an afternoon coffee break. This is an incredibly easy recipe to prepare that looks fancy. I think you’re going to love it!
