A simple, healthy, delicious Greek-style meal for summer nights and days! These aromatic dishes, with the amazing flavor, will transport you straight to a beautiful Greek island, eating and drinking near the sea and feeling the breeze...❤️
Creamy and super tasty fava, tender with unique flavor octopus and incredibly easy, with aromatic herbs, baby potatoes are perfect for side dishes or as a main course! To serve, simply, dress with extra virgin oil and use coarse sea salt, herbs, onions, tomatoes (I used my first juicy tomatoes from my garden), salty caper, aromatic lemons and something chiiled to drink! Sometimes, that's all we need..
