Mezze Dishes

[Spam88]

Looking for suggestions of dishes to include in a Greek mezze-style meal (meal planning is about as exciting as my life gets during lockdown, so wanting to try out some different things).

Current thoughts are lamb kofte, grilled halloumi, Greek salad, houmous, tzatziki and flatbreads. Would particularly welcome vegetable dishes.

Grilled aubergine served with a bit of lemon juice, salt and olive oil. Also a nice way to serve those long kind of red peppers.

I sometimes top them with some feta, pine nuts and mint. But that might not fit exactly in your greek theme.

Dolmades yummmmm

Spanakopita, gigandes, felafel.

Beetroot and lentil salad, topped with feta.

Grilled courgettes are nice too, with the oil & salt & lemon dressing. I do a version with a bit of mustard and pine nuts or walnuts in the dressing, or grilled on top of the courgettes with some feta.

Oooo beetroot and feta salad maybe with extra mint. Some kind of taboulleh with pomegranate seeds? Maybe going a bit Middle East rather than strictly Greek but will go well I think.

Fasolakia? Hope that's spelled right. Green beans in tomatoes

Spanakopita and gigantes plake

Warm olives! Woth lemon and garlic and fennel. Which I now want

Fava (like hummus made with yellow split peas), dolmades, stuffed courgette flowers, tzatziki, sagnaki (cooked cheese in tomato sauce), Greek salad, really good bread, anchovies/grilled sardines, aubergine rolls (slices of aubergine wrapped around cheese cooked in a tomato sauce) courgette fritters.....

So hungry now!

Amazing stuff

Cook some green beans. Put them into a dressing of olive oil, thinly sliced garlic and chopped mint. Mix to coat and leave for several hours to mingle flavours. If refrigerating, bring to room temperature before serving.

Tabbouleh

Some delicious-sounding ideas here, thanks everyone! I shall report back with what I end up making.

Pork gyros with pickled red onion - I found the recipe on the Asda website

Baked feta is one of my favourite things.

I want all of this yummy food NOW!

I'd love dolmades and a salad for lunch, not the boring cheese sandwich which is the only food I have in

custodian I've told my DH I'm not buying bread next week, sick of the sight of bloody sandwiches 😂

OP I would also suggest making your own pitta.
It is really easy and so much nicer.

I think I'm going to do a Greek spread on Sunday now.
