Greek Gastronomy


Today is the common knowledge that gastronimy is closely associated with the history and culture of each country and its people. Furthermore, it is a material aspect of life interwined with enjoyment and health. Traditional Greek cuisine displays great interest, for it is one of the few in the world characterized by a millennia-long history, impressive lastingness, and a logic that pays heed to tastiness and healthy culinary practice. It is apt, therefore, to become one of the country's most powerful ambassadors abroad especially now that the rest of Europe, and the American continent, are in the process of discovering the advantages of Mediterranean cookery.

Fried pumpkin (Kolokytha tiganita), Greek cooking recipes, greekcookingrecipes.com
1 1/2 kg pumpkin or orange "Winter" squash
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp salt
olive oil for frying

Remove seeds and "stringly" part from the center of the squash. Cut the flesh into small pieces 3x4 cm. Mix the flour with the salt and coriander and dredge the pieces of pumpkin in the mixture. Shake off excess and fry in hot olive oil until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with the roast suckling pig above.
*Note: Pumpkin and orange squash came from the New World long after the downfall of the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantines may have fried pieces of some type of gourd (kolokytha) which was definitely not as tasty as pumpkin.
