Our Greek Dinner is Ready! I never attempted Greek cuisine prior to this evening. I must say, I am hooked! The Spanakorizo sounded quite simple and not too exciting at first, but the flavors all came together so beautifully. The fluffy rice accented with the spinach, lemon, and olive oil was really delicious. The star of the show was definitely the Garides Saganaki however. The shrimp cooked in white wine, tomatoes, red chilies, ouzo, and then baked with feta, finished with lemon and herbs was fantastic! I had a loaf of baguette on the side to mop up all the wonderful sauce! We will definitely cook this amazing meal once again! The best part was the entire meal was purchased for only $12 and all ingredients were readily available at our local grocery store. Imagine a delicious gourmet meal that serves four and only takes about 30 minutes to prepare that costs a tad more than a McDonald's Extra Value Meal. Pretty amazing. We bid adieu to Greece for now, I cannot wait to experience this lovely country in person.
It is good to know that with a little effort, one can have such a healthy and delicious meal!
