Traditional Greek and Cypriot Recipes: Baked Chicken, Stuffed Vegetables, and Caramel Cake
Loulla Astin shares beloved traditional recipes from Greek and Cypriot cuisine, highlighting dishes such as Baked Chicken Breast with Yogurt Mayonnaise & Cheese, Stuffed Vegetables with Mincemeat, and a caramel dessert called Poutigna. These recipes combine rich flavors and fresh ingredients to create authentic meals.
The baked chicken involves marinating chicken breasts in milk and lemon juice, then baking them under a yogurt-based topping with Parmesan and Cheddar, seasoned with paprika and herbs. Stuffed vegetables feature bell peppers, aubergines, courgettes, and tomatoes filled with a savory lamb or beef mixture with rice, herbs, and spices, then baked until tender.
For dessert, the caramel cake Poutigna is a custard pudding layered over caramelized sugar and crushed biscuits, reflecting British influences during their rule of Cyprus. Loulla’s cookbook, My Kosmos My Kitchen, offers these and more recipes for those interested in exploring traditional Mediterranean flavors.
