MEAT RECIPE S

The Greek cuisine reflects the history of the country of Greece itself.
Greece has seen rich abundant times and has also had its fair share of poor, frugal times and this reflects in the traditional greek meals.

Consequently you will find hearty meat meals such as the whole lamb on the spit at Easter, and stuffed pork, which are rich indulgent meals. The other type of meat meals are based on casseroles and stews which originally relied on legumes and vegetables to fill out the meal, but of course now are included because of the wonderful flavours these dishes create.

One of the most notable things about Greek meat recipes are the delicious flavours that are created by some simple methods of seasoning the meats and the sauces the Greek food is cooked in.

Most of the sauces are either tomato based or use another fantastic Greek sauce, the egg and lemon sauce - avgolemono, which gives the meal a sharp creamy flavour and can transform an otherwise plain meal into superb.

Along with an abundant use of herbs and spices, garlic, olive oil and lemons are widely used in many meat recipes to impart a unique flavour to the dishes that is Greek Food.
