Vegetable pancakes are a specialty of Greek cuisine. The multitude of vegetables available at any time of the year provokes even the ingenious use of them. Tomatokeftedes, or tomato pies, is the recipe that proves this theory. This dish is popular on the Cyclades and in the traditional cuisine of Syros, Andros, Tinos or Santorini. The most characteristic taste of tomatokeftedes is reached by the inhabitants of the latter island due to the specific taste of small tomatoes growing there. Volcanic substrate, strong sunlight and lack of access to groundwater make their taste very characteristic and intense. In the Polish conditions, the best come out of oblong tomatoes, which have little juice and a lot of flesh.
Depending on the island, this recipe is slightly different. There are versions with the addition of garlic, dill, oregano, or cinnamon. We offer a version with a fresh taste, which pancakes owe a large addition of mint. The plain Greek yogurt is their perfect complement.
1. Tomatoes should be wiped off with a coarse-grained grater, discarding the skin. We start draining the tomatoes from excess water, but keep this juice in case the dough requires thinning.
2. Chop the onions very finely or grate them and add them to the tomatoes. Then add the chopped parsley, mint, salt and pepper.
3. Now gradually add flour and mix. The dough should have a dough-like consistency for potato pancakes. The amount of flour depends on whether the tomatoes have more flesh or more juice. Certainly, it is not worth overdoing it because the pancakes will become slightly rubbery. However, if you add it too few cakes will not fry.
4. Warm up the oil on a large heavy pan and then with a large spoon put the portions of dough .. Pancakes fried in a pan on both sides of the golden color. After frying, drain off excess fat on paper towels.

Although the recipe for kolokithokeftedes has been on our site for a long time, we decided to publish the second version of the recipe. Kolokithokeftedes in this way we ate recently with our Cretan friends. Pancakes prepared in this way have tasted us so much that we asked for a way of preparing :)
The genesis of pizza is not as unambiguous as it was thought to be, because it was the ancient Greeks began to bake herbal flat bread with oil and garlic. Although the pizza rather does not belong to the canon of Greek cuisine, the modern Greeks form their own version of pizza based mostly on local vegetables, cheeses, and also olives.
Greeks have to admit that they know how to make delicious food from the spinach popular in this region. Of course, spinach in the Greek version has nothing to do with the little appetizing mash that is usually made in Polish homes. Spinach combined with feta served in a filo pastry can occur in the form of a large casserole (Spanakopita Σπανακόπιτα) or in the form of small croissants (Tiropites Τυροπιτες). Spanakopita is a popular dish and is one of our favorite Greek dishes. The ingredients for its preparation are available in our stores.
