Welcome to Episode 2 of My Big Fat Greek Christmas, a series in which I share Holiday recipes from my Greek Childhood and ways you can elevate your holiday traditions with some Greek flare! Today, we are making Soutzoukakia: Greek Baked Meatballs and potatoes in Tomato Sauce! Be sure to follow 👩🏻‍🍳🔪 @foodbymaria 🔪👩🏻‍🍳 so you never miss a Greek recipe!

I grew up in a city with 15,000 people, but our Greek community was mighty large. Our Priest had to travel from out of town to conduct service on Wednesdays each month and sometimes it didn’t land on the right date for Christmas. So like any good Greek community, all the mothers, fathers, and aunties would plan a gathering in the church’s basement where we would all eat a dish from everyone’s household. All my favourite Greek dishes are in one place, just for the holidays.

Dolmades, Moshari Kokkinisto, Spanakopita, Patates Lemonates, Roasted Chicken and of course, Soutzoukakia.

Soutzoukakia (Greek Baked Meatballs with Potatoes in Tomato Sauce) is the most comforting dish you’ll have all winter. It’s essentially delicious beef meatballs cooked in a warming tomato sauce with potatoes. It can be cooked up in one pan and is such an easy meal for the whole family. Prep it and let your oven do most of the work.

The tomato sauce has a warming blend of beautiful spices, including cumin and cinnamon. It’s so warming and will have your whole family obsessed ♥️

The Soutzoukakia recipe was introduced to Greek cuisine at the beginning of the 20th century and it is said it’s origin is from the city of Smyrni or modern-day Izmir.

I’ve spent years perfecting juicy CHICKEN so you don’t have to! Welcome Back to Episode 21 of Getting to Know Your Greek Bestie! Today we’re making Juicy Chicken + a Crispy Gnocchi Sheet Pan using the one and only @parmigianoreggianousa @parmigianoreggiano! If you love delicious, easy, flavor-packed food then be sure to follow 👩🏻‍🍳🔪@foodbymaria so you never miss a recipe!

This Sheet Pan Gnocchi is the perfect dinner for the holiday season. Inspired by the viral sheet pan Crispy Parmigiano Reggiano Potatoes recipe (hi @kalejunkie) that took Instagram by storm last year, this recipe replaces those potatoes with gnocchi to make a delicious dinner. This recipe pairs the crispy gnocchi with juicy chicken on a bed of shredded brussels sprouts to make a complete, healthy meal for the whole family.

Did you know that Parmigiano Reggiano is always made in Northern Italy? Never anywhere else. More specifically Parmigiano Reggiano is produced exclusively in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and Bologna to the left of the Reno River, and Mantua to the right of the Po River: this is the area hosting the farms where the cattle are fed on locally grown forage. It’s always only made with 3 simple ingredients: milk, salt and rennet. Choose what’s real! You know what to do 😉

To celebrate Parmigiano Reggiano the team is running a challenge, enter by clicking the link in my bio!

Here is what you COULD win by entering the Parmigiano Reggiano Pronunciation Challenge!

1st prize - Whole Wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano
2nd prize - Half wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano
3rd prize - Tasting Flight of Parmigiano Reggiano

Today we are making Crispy Potato Stacks with @AthenosFeta! Be sure to follow 👩🏻‍🍳🔪 @foodbymaria 🔪👩🏻‍🍳 so you never miss a Greek recipe!

I am a firm believer that #FoodNeedsFeta! Feta is truly a Greek person’s religion. This isn’t something I take lightly. I mean it, FOOD NEEDS FETA! So, this holiday season, Elevate your holiday spread with Athenos feta! Add a tangy twist to classics like creamy mashed potatoes, bring stuffing to the next level with Whipped Feta Dip or even perfect your family’s Cream of Broccoli Soup with a bit of feta. Adding feta transforms these beloved sides into unforgettable festive favourites. You know when people say they don’t make the rules, they just follow them? Well I do make the rules, and you are going to love these potato stacks!

The flavours in this Holiday side are so balanced, the herbs are so fresh and powerful while the @AthenosFeta brings the saltiness and creaminess you’d expect from cheese but with a much more elevated flare and tanginess! I give these a 10/10 now give me 16 of em! #AthenosPartner

Arayes (Meat-Stuffed Crispy Pita): Chicken & Feta edition! You’ve never had anything this juicy, quick and easy!

When @thegoldenbalance shared these months ago, I tried them with beef and they were phenomenal. You all agreed! So we’re bring it back for round 2, but this time with a non-traditional chicken and feta filling.

Arayes are a classic Lebanese & Syrian street food. (There’s also an Egyptian version called Hawawshi.)

They’re fried or grilled meat-stuffed pita that is popular in Middle Eastern cuisine. They are usually stuffed with minced meat like beef or lamb, along with a combination of aromatic seasonings and spices. Think of them as a better, Middle Eastern version of a pizza pocket. These are so tasty and your whole family will love them (even the picky eaters).

They’re incredible easy to make, perfect for a quick dinner and a party friendly!

Arayes are usually served with a creamy Tahini or Yoghurt Sauce.
