Healthy Food - Better Mood!

  Easter lunch cannot be without a lamb! Lamb is a centuries' old tradition that is deeply rooted in Mediterranean climate and Christian faith. I prefer to cook a lamb roasted in the oven to keep it soft and juicy and add potatoes as side dish.  The most important is to buy a fresh meat, not frozen. A leg suits better than a shoulder or back. And it should be room temperature before cooking to warm it faster in the oven. I would recommend to cut meat first and to put into a marinade for 20-30 minutes. Rosemarie, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, olive oil, and garlic make a great combination. Besides, I like to mix onions and potatoes with salt, pepper, oregano, and olive oil before adding them to the meat. Lamb requires high temperature to roast it in the oven - for the first hour at about 220C, and then at about 200C for the second hour. And it is important to put a half of glass of hot water inside a cooking tray to prevent meat from becoming dry. When ready, serve a lamb...

  Hi, all! Here we are with the most famous salad from Greece - Greek salad which has spread worldwide. But do you really know that... In Greek language it is called " χωριάτικη σαλάτα ", ' a salad from villages' because it was made from the organic products that grew in the countryside: olives, vegetables, feta. Centuries passed but the salad remains the same. Why? Because it is healthy and nutritious at the same time. It includes vitally important vitamins, fiber , protein, fats. Not to say that Greek salad is very easy-to-make. BUT the only requirement is the quality of its ingredients - olives, feta, oregano, and olive oil should all be organic, high-quality products, preferrably produced in Greece. Of course you can add fresh vegetables that you like. Tomatoes and cucumbers are the most popular, sometimes people put also red onions, green sweet pepper, or lettuce. Enjoy authentic food from Greece!
