Question: Any greek people on today!?
my daughter needs to prepare a simple Greek food for an assignment at school, any good simple recipies that high school kids would like!? Please help going to the store this afternoon!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes, this is simple and delicious!. Look up the recipe for Ambrosia online!. No baking involved!. Supposedly, it was the food of the Gods in ancient Greece!. Good Luck!! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have been to Greece and studied the cuisine extensively!. There is nothing simple about Greek cooking!. So here is what I suggest based upon many rustic neighborhood restaurant meals enjoyed there:

Greek Salad

Cucumber, peeled and coarsely sliced
Roma tomatoes, sliced coarsely
Spanish onions, coarsely sliced
Black Greek olives (they are similar to kalamata olives--tart, wrinkled---only bigger)
Feta Cheese, coarsely crumbled or sliced into chunks
Lemon juice freshly squeezed over all
Good Greek olive oil, drizzled over all

I don't know how many people you need to serve, but this is refreshing, simple, you should serve it at room temperature, and is delicious!. Plus, it has feta cheese, greek olives, and Greek olive oil, all staples in the Greek diet!.

There ya go!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You could make a feta and cheese pie, or a feta pie, using filo pastry!. My yaya makes it within an hour!
