Additional Entrees

GYRO GALOPOULO

Slow Roasted Turkey on Vertical Rotisserie!

GYRO GALOPOULO

Turkey Gyros? There's a Gyradiko, especially popular among the students in Thessaloniki, which has expanded its Gyros specialty into an over-the-top selection of meats roasted on the vertical rotisserie. In additional to the standard, pressed Gyros, they offer Pork, Chicken, Turkey and even Pheasant.
This month's all-natural gyros the Gardens features a blend of New with Old World in the best sense--organic Schultz turkey breasts and thighs dry-rubbed, layered with onion and stacked, slow-roasted, sliced to order and piled on an open grilled pita with a generous handful of Greek fries and a side Tzatziki. We're drinking Surly's Bender with this one!

PAIDAKIA ARNI STI SKARA

Fire grilled Lamb Ribblets

PAIDAKIA ARNI STI SKARA

After 5pm! Marinated in Petimezi*, Greek EVOO, and sherry vinegar, garlic, mint these tender lamb chops from Hidden Stream Farm are flame grilled to order, drizzled with more Petimezi sauce, sprinkled with a chiffonade of basil and mint, served on cumin scented jasmine rice with a side of mustard and mint yogurt. We paired ours with Roditis, Nemea and Oenodea for a perfect light and tasty meal!

*Petimezi is a traditional sweetener made from the reduction of MUST, the pressed juice of grapes. Often referred to as Grape Molasses

KOUNOUPIDI YACHNI

Braised Organic Cauliflower

KOUNOUPIDI YACHNI

One of the most requested additional entrees...a cold crop that gets a bit pricey in July....thanks to the cool season we ordered a case! John, Pamela, Brian, Rene, Christine, Shirley...come and get it! Organic cauliflower braised with onions and diced tomatoes...how delicious can simple get??

Served with feta cheese.

We paired it with a spicy red: Chrisohoo Xinomavro, Lafkiotis Agirogitiko, Surly's, Bender. and the herbaceous white, Daphnes by Lyrarakis.

FASOLAKIA ARNI

Braised Lamb w/Green Beans

FASOLAKIA ARNI

From Hidden Stream Farm, pasture-raised leg of lamb braised with garlic and cinnamon and simmered with fresh, organic green beans in a light tomato basil sauce.

SPANAKORIZO

Braised Spinach & Rice

SPANAKORIZO

Simply, and wonderfully toothsome, this perennial Gardens' favorite simmers spinach with Jasmine rice and sautéed onion for a soul fill like no other. Squeeze the lemon, enjoy with the raw onion and salty feta. Mythos beer, or a full bodied white, Lyrarakis white blend or Roditis are best friends with this dish!

VEGGIE MOUSAKA

The Gardens' Classic & First Premier

VEGGIE MOUSAKA

Our vegetarian version of possibly the most famous after gyro Greek dish--layers of roasted eggplant (3) covered with a heavier garlic and wine red sauce (2 layers) sprinkled with chunks of feta cheese (pasteurized) and topped with a creamy béchamel sauce--baked to a golden brown.

BAKALIARO PLAKI

Oven Roasted Wild Atlantic Cod

BAKALIARO PLAKI

Wild caught Atlantic cod oven roasted in white wine, tomato and EVO oil on a bed of onions. Our FIRST entree when we opened 29 years ago!
Enjoy with Volkan Black ale, Xinomavro or Lyrarakis Rose

MANITARIA me TRACHANA

Another version of Trahana--the homemade pasta kernels made from a mash of wheat and yogurt, rubbed into grains and sun-dried; boiled in our homemade vegetable stock, thickened with dried woodland and portobello mushrooms, seasoned with Chenin blanc, basil & pepper flakes. We recommend a dollop of Greek yogurt...ask your server!

MANITIS tis CRITIS

Mushroom Saganaki Fire Finished, Cretan style

MANITIS tis CRITIS

A man called the Gardens the other day and asked with incredulity, "what was that mushroom app that I ate last night? I think that was the BEST thing I've eaten in my LIFE." We're just passing it along--some amazing flavors: Seasonally foraged or responsibly farmed, Shitaki, Oyster, Crimini, Enoki, Hen of the Woods. Lion's Mane--whatever we can source at the time--oven braised with EVO oil, white wine, lemon, fresh thyme and fire finished w/feta.
Try them with the Greek aperitif of choice, Kourtaki retsina, a minerally white, Assyrtiko, or Roditis. Wow!
