Late summer Greek Salad
This is a dish we were served in one of the San Antonio Riverwalk restaurants when we were there last month.
1 cucumber – quartered the long way then sliced
1 extra large tomato – diced into 1/2″ pieces
8 oz Feta – diced or crumbled
Mixed pitted olives ~ 1/2 cup
1 Tablespoon oregano
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Toss everything in a bowl and mix well.
Greek Lamb and Potatoes
This is a nice winter dish. Everything can be put together the night before and left in the fridge and taken out and cooked the next day. A good dish for a lazy Sunday or for company.
one leg of lamb (1 lb per person)
1 lg potato per person
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
water
1 Tbsp oregano
Preheat oven to 350′
Put oil, 1/2 cup of water the 2 cloves of garlic,oregano ,lemon juice from lemon and the yellow peel from lemon into a (9×13) baking pan
Wash potatoes and cut into 1/2″ slices
Put lamb and potatoes into baking pan and mix until they have been covered with water/oil mixture.
While cooking check frequently and add water to keep about 1/2″ in bottom of pan.
Bake until meat thermometer says lamb is done, (30 -60 minutes depending on the size of the lamb)
Note: The acid in the lemon acts as a tenderizer, so be sure to let it do its work over night.
