Salmon With Soy and Petimezi

by Peter G Greek Food

My favourite way of getting those all important omega 3′s into my diet is by eating salmon. I find it quite a versatile fish and definitely love getting creative with it. My recent blog post on salmon burgers prepared with home made brioche buns, really got a lot of attention.

Biftekia with Salsa Verde

by Peter G Greek Food

I think I may have a “thing” for sauces. If you scan through the archives you can find my recipe for chimichurri salsa, roasted corn salsa and walnut skordalia. What can I say? I like a good sauce to accompany a dish. It makes it all the more satisfying. Regarding the recipe today, “biftekia” are  basically hamburgers. I like to think that the Greeks do biftekia exceptionally well and most taverns will serve up a version [...]
