The last year or so I have been into cooking Greek food This is one of my favorites and its easy to make. If you have favorite Greek recipes please post. Greek sausages in tomatoe sauce: Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs . ground beef, 1 cup bread crumbs,1 medium onion chopped finely,2 tbsp. fresh thyme,2 tbsp. fresh oregano,1/2 tsp. ground cumin,1 egg lightly beaten,2 tbsp. olive oil,2 tbsp. chopped fresh mint. Combine all ingredients in bowl except the oil,mix well and roll into small sausage shapes. heat oil in pan and cook sausages in batches well browned. Drain on paper towels. Meanwhile make tomatoe sauce. Ingredients:2 tbsp. olive oil,1 medium onion,chopped finely,2 cloves garlic crushed,1/2 cup dry red wine,1 - 1lb. 12 oz can of whole tomatoes with sauce (buy the best ones you can) ,I slice them up in a bowl before I put them in the sauce.1/3 cup tomatoe paste, 1 cup chicken stock,2 tbsp. fresh oregano,2 tsp, sugar.pinch of ground cinnamon. Heat oil in sauce pan add onion and garlic. cook until soft,add wine and simmer unitl reduced by half,stir in tomatoes and remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper to taste, Simmer for 10 minutes. Add sausages cover and simmer another 10 minutes.Sprinkle with mint before serving. I really like the way the wine and cinnamon, smell as the sauce cooks. Dont use too much cinnamon a use a very small amount and add more if you like

Now THIS is a thread that I can definitely sink my teeth into!! (pun intended).
Living in Greece, I am able to enjoy the food any time I wish. I don't cook much just for myself and tend to eat out often, but for recipes, I can recommend a website called eatgreektonight (dot com). Check it out.

I live in an area, heavily populated by Greeks. Seems like every restaurant here has greek dishes. I usually order a hamburger!!

My favorite Greek food is Tzatziki - a garlic, yogurt and cucumber dip.

There are plenty of recipes for this on the web
