An ideal dish for the Greek Orthodox fasting period: ditali lisci (makaronaki kofto) with octopus. Heartfelt thanks to my fishermen friends in Northern Greece, who generously share both their exceptional seafood and their invaluable cooking wisdom. Supporting local producers truly makes a difference. Prepared simply with fresh tomato, hand-picked peppercorns, fragrant oregano leaves and extra virgin olive oil, this dish celebrates honest ingredients, regional tradition and the quiet beauty of Mediterranean fasting cuisine.
