This recipe is adapted from various ancient sources – a poem attributed to the Greek poet Philoxenus of Cythera talks about shrimps glazed with honey being served at a banquet, but it does not help in recreating the dish! Fish sauce (for its salt) and olive oil would undoubtedly have been among the ingredients, along with the honey. Oregano is suggested as the Greeks used it in seafood dishes.

Most of them are vegetarian that could have a meat protein added if you wanted or you could leave it as is.

And I have to say I agree, to an extent. Greek cuisine is highly influenced by the seasons. The locals live from the land and the sea and have a wide variety of fruit and veg that would make many a British chef envious. The recipes are all inviting even without the delicious looking photographs.

This is perfect for home cooks seeking to improve their diets for an overall healthy life. Process oriented, the recipes are appropriate for beginner to intermediate cooks. Far more important, in my opinion, is a generous hand with the herbs, which sets this dish apart from the hundreds of other permutations on the spinach-and-cheese theme from around the world. Dill is the most common choice, closely followed by mint and parsley, though Mazi also adds chervil and fennel leaves and Petretzikis Mediterranean hartwort and oregano. Hartwort proves hard to come by in a British summer, so, on advice, I use lovage instead, which gives the filling a very savoury quality, while chervil and fennel lend an aniseedy, almost ouzo-like whiff that’s more popular with the panel. Dill is easier to get hold of, however, and along with mint for freshness and a little oregano for Greekness, should provide enough in the way of herbaceous excitement.
