If you follow me on Instagram and have been following along, you know that I just hosted a Mediterranean-inspired dinner party with a variety of traditional Greek dishes. Many of you have asked for recipes; so, I have made a list of every recipe I used as well as any adjustments I made.
If you’re planning to host a Greek-inspired dinner or even just cook for family, all of these recipes were absolutely incredible and I 10/10 would make them all again. Enjoy! 🫶🏼

Pita chips: https://pin.it/41aGL6j5e
I used the gluten-free pita bread recipe to make the pitas first, then followed the pita chips recipe using the homemade pita breads.
Marinated olives: https://pin.it/5rt5tpOQr
Red and golden beets with turmeric tahini spread: https://pin.it/2XXvoGaYg
For the beets, I boiled them until they were fork tender, then peeled and sliced them. I served them over the turmeric tahini and topped them with chopped walnuts, honey, feta, mint, and flaky sea salt.
MAINS:
stuffed bell peppers + tomatoes: https://pin.it/3C8g4XYp8
Keftedes (meatballs): https://pin.it/74veBXpdR
Instead of beef and pork, I used a mixture of ground lamb and turkey. They turned out beautifully, so feel free to use whatever ground meat you prefer here!
red pepper feta and harissa sauce: https://pin.it/46tjq3I1L
I used fiery harissa spice as well as some mild harissa sauce (the Mina brand) for extra flavor.
SIDES:

Lemon honey olive oil cake: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DE5cOeqSkvz/?igsh=bmliMXd5Njk0bHYw
Lemon curd: https://pin.it/40zFgmIZ4
I ended up making a trifle by layering the lemon olive oil cake bits, then a layer of lemon curd, followed by a layer of truwhip (dairy-free whipped cream alternative) and repeating three times. It turned out fabulous and super delicious, the lemon curd makes it so don’t skip that part!
