Authentic Greek Recipes: Greek Vegetarian Meal

I was asked to give some recommendations for full Greek meals based on the recipes given here. So I'm starting with a possible Greek Vegetarian Meal.

A lot of people, when they think about Greek food, immediately think of souvlaki, roast lamb etc. In fact, Greece has a lot of wonderful vegetarian dishes. Below is just one possibility for a meal. I will try to regularly post possible meals (not just vegetarian) based on the recipes given in this blog. Requests are most welcome.

All of these dishes (apart from the cake) should be placed on the table for everyone to help themselves. This meal would be suitable for 6 people.

Vegetarian Moussaka

I find this an excellent main dish and many non-vegetarians have said that they prefer it to the Moussaka with the meat.

Artichoke Pie
(Agginaropitta)

A light, healthy accompanying dish.

Below are tasty side dishes from which people can help themselves to as much as they want.

Eggplant Dip
(Melitzanosalata)

Tzatziki

Tirokafteri
(Spicy Cheese Dip)

Stuffed Green Peppers With Feta Cheese

You can also include a traditional Greek Horiatiko (Village) Salad. This is really simple and consists of roughly chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, feta cheese and olives. You can also add chopped onions if you wish (I don't!). Add salt and olive oil and sprinkle some oregano on top if you want.

After the meal and after you have digested (partly, at least!), you can have some delicious Walnut Cake (Karidopitta) to go with your coffee.
