Zoie helped us mark Greece off the map.
We may have gone a little longer then a week this time but we are officially back in the swing of things. Adam and I were seriously considering taking our challenge on a little field trip to My Big Fat Greek restaurant since we sooooo love that place. But because we learned last week that veal is in fact NOT lamb and I still have this lamb in my freezer we decided to get all 4 of us into the kitchen and cook up some authentic recipes from Greece.
On the menu:
Lamb Ragout -Lamb and onions sauteed in tomatoes and Cinnamon.
- Spinach pie - Spinach, feta, garlic in a filo dough pie crust...Delicious!
- Baklava
Adam rocked the spinach pie, it was amazing! Fox and I cooked the lamb together, Adam loved it, Fox and I were not so fond. Baklava seems to be authentic to a few countries, Greece included. But hey, who wouldn't want to claim layers of buttery pastry filled with sweet honey sauce and toasted nuts? We certainly enjoyed it! I think Zoie had a little too much!
FACT: Every citizen of Greece is required by law to vote. What a great law!!
It is once again Mr. Ayden Fox's turn to pick the country. He picked a good one!
AMERICA!
