"Classic Greek dishes such as moussaka (baked eggplant with meat filling), pastitslo (baked macaroni with meat filling), lemon chicken, spanakopita (filo pastry filled with spinach and feta cheese), fish plaki (basked fish), Souvlakia (filet mignon shishke bob), arni psito (roast lamb), and shrimp tourko limano (shrimp with feta cheese) will be served at lunch and dinner.

The Pastry Shop will feature baklava (layered filo with nuts and honey), galatoboureko (filo dough filled with custard), kourambiedes (butter cookies with powdered sugar), finikia (cookies dipped in honey) and tsourekia (holiday bread). All of the dishes will be prepared in the church's kitchen."

Though I have great recipes for Moussaka, Spanikopita, Pastitsio, Baklava and a few others, I would love recipes for all of the following:

Souvlakia
shrimp tourko limano

galatoboureko
kourambiedes

Thanks so much in advance!

Chicken Souvlaki
================
This recipe works well with Pork (I use Pork Tenderloin) and with Lamb.

Chicken breasts
Fresh minced garlic
dried oregano
lemons
olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. Place on wooden Skewers that have been soaked in water (prevents
sticks from burning.. or on metal skewers.

Rub with fresh minced garlic and dried oregano Squeeze fresh lemons over chicken and some olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate for up to 1 hour. If marinating longer do not add lemon juice until the last hour. Lemon juice "cooks" the flesh and changes the texture.

Place on hot grill and turn often until done. Serve with Greek salad and rice.

Greek Ribs
==========
1 or 2 Racks of Baby Back Ribs
2 to 3 garlic cloves
dried oregano
Juice of 1 to 2 lemons
Lemon zest (Optional)
salt and pepper
. Mince garlic and press with back of knife to turn into a paste. (or use
a microplane)

Rub ribs with garlic, rub on oregano, salt and pepper and lemon zest if
using. Squeeze juice of whole lemons over ribs a few hours before
cooking.

Note: These can be marinated earlier in the day or overnight, but do
not add the lemon juice until a few hours before grilling or the lemon
will change the texture of the meat.

Heat grill to high (both sides)

Place ribs on one side of grill and turn that side off. Cook, turning
occasionally until ribs are tender.

On my grill they take about 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size
of the ribs but could take longer depending on grill being used.
