    Shrimp Saganaki

    Saganaki, a traditional Greek preparation named after the pan in which it’s prepared, is best served straight from the skillet, with plenty of toasted bread for scooping up the savory tomato sauce. If you can find them, wild American shrimp and high-quality Greek feta really make this dish special.

    Grilled Lamb Skewers with Carrots, Feta, and Mint

    Marinated, grilled, and paired with tender carrots and a simple feta-mint condiment, these lamb skewers are the answer when you're looking for big flavor. For the most tender results, use meat cut from the top round of the leg of lamb, or trim around the connective tissue of a butterflied leg to get to the leaner meat.
