Greek Tomato Recipes

Tomatoes arrived late and took over completely. Fresh in salads, grated raw into sauces, or cooked down for hours in the ladera dishes.

Greek cooking uses a narrow pantry very well. A handful of ingredients appear again and again, in different combinations and cooked in different ways, and knowing what each one does is more useful than memorising individual recipes.

Dishes built on it include Horiatiki salata, Pastitsio, Gigantes plaki, Dakos, Gemista and Fasolada.

Every recipe on Kalliopi's Kitchen carries the dish's Greek name and a pronunciation, its region where that is meaningful, ingredient quantities in both metric and imperial, and an honest note on what commonly goes wrong. Nutrition figures are calculated estimates and are labelled as such.
