EAT // GREEK CUISINE

What to eat:

G

iven that the

country’s name

is synonymous

with an idiom

about misunderstandings,

it’s no surprise that Greek

cuisine is, well, Greek to most

eaters. We’ve enlisted the help

of Opa’s head chef Timothy

Newton to give us the lowdown

on must-try Greek dishes...

Greek cuisine

Five authentic Greek dishes you need to try

01

Lobster orzo

This dish has a Peloponnese

origin from the south of

Greece. It’s made with tomato

sauce, orzo and butter.

At Opa, we make ours with

Canadian lobster and a

seaweed butter – and it’s

exceptionally tasty.

02

Kleftiko (slow-cooked lamb)

Originating from the mountains of Greece, kleftiko is a slow-cooked lamb shoulder with feta

mash and mint jus. The best way to prepare it is to make sure the lamb is cooked and shredded,

before being rolled into a log. That way every bite is the same.
