Veal-and-Vegetable Stew From Corfu

Tourta Kritiki (Cretan Easter Lamb Pie)
Greek Baked Beans With Honey and Dill
These beans become creamy as they bake slowly in a sweet and sour broth flavored with honey and vinegar. You can make the dish with regular white beans, which will require soaking, or with large lima beans, which will not.
Skorthalia
Greek Salad Sandwich
Greek salad on a bun makes a wonderfully satisfying meal. The English muffins absorb the sweet and tangy juices from the salad without becoming soggy.
Fried Potatoes, Greek-Style
Greek-Style Dinner Pie With Leftover Greens
Leftovers often die an ignoble death in the back of the refrigerator, a waste of money and time. They can, however, be an opportunity to improvise, even to elevate. Here, some leftover cooked greens are combined with raw ones in a show-stopping Greek-style treatment that uses boxed phyllo dough to its best advantages. Pie for dinner!
Stewed Greens With Tomatoes and Mint
This is inspired by a Greek recipe from the island of Corfu, from Diane Kochilas’s book “The Greek Vegetarian.” I love the way the greens and tomatoes are infused with mint. If you want to try more unusual greens from your farmers’ market, like amaranth or purslane, they will work in this dish.
Greek Chicken and Tomato Salad
A small amount of seared and roasted chicken breast transforms this tomato-centric Greek salad into something substantial enough to eat as a main dish for lunch or a light supper.
Greek Black-Eyed Peas Salad
Black-eyed peas may not be part of the Greek New Year’s tradition, as they are in the American South, but this recipe still makes a great, light dish.
Pasta With Yogurt And Caramelized Onions
Greek Pumpkin and Leek Pie
This savory Greek pie, one of my favorites, makes a great vegetarian main dish for Thanksgiving. You can make the filling days before you assemble the pie; you can also make the whole pie ahead, wrap it well and freeze it. Like all winter squash, pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A, in the form of beta carotene, and a very good source of vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber and manganese.
Collard Greens Stuffed With Raisins, Nuts and Rice
If greens, raisins, nuts and grains of rice all symbolize prosperity, then you’ll do well to make this recipe for your New Year’s Eve party. Collard greens are great stuffing leaves; they are large and easy to work with, and they can stand up to long simmering. The filling is a typical Greek dolmades filling.
Simmered Beet Greens With Roasted Beets, Lemon and Yogurt
The Greeks serve this dish as a salad, and it’s one that I never failed to order at lunch when I spent 10 days on the Greek island of Ikaria, known for the longevity of its population. If you want to make a meal of this, serve the greens and beets with a whole grain, like barley or quinoa. The authentic dish includes much more olive oil than this one. If the beets you find at the farmers' market or the store don’t have a generous bunch of greens attached, ask the vendor or the head of the produce department for greens they have cut away for other customers. They’ve probably got a box full of them in the back.
Meatball Sausages (Soutzoukakia Smyrneika)
This is a soulful dish: handmade meatball sausages subtly seasoned with onion, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg and baked in a bubbling tomato sauce. It was originally made by Greeks who lived in Smyrna, which is now Izmir, Turkey. In the early 1920s many of them returned to Greece after the Greco-Turkish war.
Agginares meh Koukia (Artichokes With Fava Beans)
Coiled Greek Winter Squash Pie
This is a beautiful way to present a Greek phyllo-wrapped vegetable pie. The filling is wrapped in phyllo cylinders, which are arranged in a coil in a pan, then baked until crisp. It takes longer to assemble than a regular pie, but it’s worth the time for Thanksgiving. For a vegan version, you can omit the egg and the feta
Northern Greek Mushroom and Onion Pie
Use portobello mushrooms for this. They are meaty and make for a very substantial pie. You can omit the feta for a vegan version of this pie
