Greek Lamb with Orzo and Feta – 12sp
I’ve had half a packet of orzo left in my cupboard for a good while now (since the last time I made my Pea and Ham Orzo) but I wanted to try and use it in a new way. Having seen lamb paired with orzo on Greek menus quite a lot I thought it was time I gave this a go and made it waistline friendly. The result was lovely, a lovely flavour and a really different texture. I served mine with a side salad (just mixed leaves, tomatoes and feta) and I served my OH’s with the feta straight on top. Do whichever way takes your fancy. Some of the ingredients below can be optional so I’ve put a little ‘O’ next to these ingredients, the recipe is better with them but would still be nice without.
Greek Turkey Meatballs – 11sp
I’ve wanted to experiment for turkey mince for quite a while but I was always put off with how flavourless turkey was. This week I decided that now was the time to give it a bit of a makeover and what better way to do that then to make some lovely meatballs! ‘Saganaki’ refers to a small frying pan that Greek dishes are often cooked in. In this case I used a large frying pan which can be put straight in the oven. If you don’t have a frying pan suitable for the oven just pop the meatballs and sauce into a baking dish before you add the cheese and then pop that in the oven. This is a lovely dish, really easy to make and is a little bit different to your usual meatball dish. I have to admit, after eating this, I may be a turkey convert!
