*** Top Famous Greek Foods *** Everyone Should Try

1. Keftedes (Greek Meatballs): Hearty and Herbaceous Keftedes are flavorful Greek meatballs, usually made with ground beef or lamb, mixed with breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, grated tomatoes and a generous amount of fresh mint and parsley. They are pan-fried or baked until golden brown and often served with tzatziki or a tomato sauce. They are a staple of Greek home cooking, comforting and incredibly tasty.

2. Fava (Yellow Split Pea Purée): Creamy and Earthy. Despite its name, Greek Fava is typically made from yellow split peas (not fava beans), cooked down into a smooth, creamy purée with onions and olive oil. It's seasoned simply and often topped with chopped red onion, capers, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. It's a comforting, naturally vegan dish that's rich in flavor and nutrients, perfect for dipping with warm bread. Have you eaten Greek Fava Dip with warm bread, pita or crackers?

3. . Pastitsio: The Greek Lasagna Pastitsio is another beloved baked pasta dish, often called "Greek lasagna." It features thick pasta (like bucatini), a layer of seasoned ground meat (beef or lamb) in tomato sauce, and a rich, creamy béchamel sauce on top, often flavored with nutmeg. It's a hearty, satisfying casserole that's a staple for family gatherings and celebrations, my brother's favorite. Everytime we visit our local Greek Restaurant he orders their Greek Lasagna, he absolutely loves it! Have you eaten Greek Lasagna (Pastitsio)?
