SANTORINI -- SPECIALITIES

  • TOMATOKEFTEDES (TOMATO BALLS)
    Ingredients: Tomatoes (preferably the small ones, even better the ones produced in Santorini) / Bread / Onions / Salt / Pepper.
    Cut the tomatoes and onion into small pieces. Wet the bread. Mix the wet bread with onions and tomatoes and make a soft dough. Add pepper and salt. Leave the dough in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Fry just like meat balls. Serve hot.

  • KAPARI
    A sort of vegetable spice produced in Santorini. The size of peas with strong and nice taste. They use it within the Greek Salad (tomatoes / cucumber / olives / feta cheese / olive oil).

  • MELITINIA (CHEESE AND HONEY PIES)
    (I begged to get the recipe as the taste is fantastic. I promise to publish it as soon as I get it)
