Kontosouvli

Greece
4.6 ·

Kontosouvli is a traditional dish consisting of large pieces of pork marinated in a mixture of herbs and spices, then skewered and slowly cooked on a rotisserie, much like a gyro or souvlaki. The marinade often contains ingredients such as garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, olive oil, lemon juice, and red wine. After marinating, the meat is threaded onto a large skewer and roasted over an open flame, which results in a rich and flavorful outer crust with a juicy, tender interior. The cooked meat is typically served in thick slices, often accompanied by pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and horiatiki salad, among other possible accompaniments. It was traditionally prepared for Easter, but today it can be found on the menus of Greek tavernas throughout the year.

Gournopoula

Messinia, Greece Messinia, Greece
4.1 ·

Gournopoula or gourounopoulo is a traditional dish originating from Messinia, and it's especially popular in Kalamata. The dish consists of a spit-roasted piglet. A piglet is placed on a spit and a mixture of salt and herbs is placed in the belly. The belly is sewn shut, and the piglet is spit-roasted over high heat for about ten hours. Once done, half of the piglet's weight will be gone, but no one minds as the meat will become sweet while the skin turns crispy. The dish dates back to the times of the Turkish occupation.

This flavorful stew consists of braised pork that is combined with celery, onions, spices, and herbs such as dill or oregano. The dish is finished off with the addition of avgolemono, the creamy egg and lemon sauce that additionally thickens the stew. Though it can be prepared year-round, this Greek classic is mainly associated with colder winter months and is best paired with country-style bread or potatoes.
